We can fight allergies in a natural way!

According to medical studies, up to 30% of the population in developed countries suffers from at least one atopic disease, such as allergies, asthma and eczema. This corresponds to roughly one in three people we meet. Even worse is that we cannot avoid it, but only have to adapt our treatment and control the symptoms. Do you want to accept that? At BioB, we have chosen not to do that.

A natural alternative to allergy treatment

What is an allergy? An allergy is an overreaction of the body's immune system to substances that are normally harmless. When the unknown substances are noticed by our immune system, the antigens of the substances are analyzed and determined whether the substance is considered a threat to the body. In such a case, it leads to an allergic reaction in our body. Once the body has reacted allergically to a substance, the immune system will remember the substance as harmful. Therefore, we cannot get rid of allergies once we have had them.

Some studies show that prebiotics and probiotics can boost the immune system and help prevent some allergic reactions. The powerful duo works together to boost health and create balance in the body’s ecosystem. Probiotics are known as the body’s natural good bacteria that fight off bad microorganisms that typically come from our external environment. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization, probiotics are “live microorganisms that confer a health benefit on the host.”

Every soldier needs to have the strength to fight. This is where prebiotics come in. Prebiotics are food for probiotics. They enable probiotics to do their job.

Probiotics vs. atopic dermatitis

The effectiveness of probiotics in preventing atopic dermatitis has been demonstrated in a randomised study from Finland. Here, probiotics were given to pregnant women with a long family history of eczema, hay fever or asthma that has run for generations. Probiotics were also given to the women's infants for six months after birth. In the infant, the incidence of atopic dermatitis was significantly reduced by up to 50%.

Probiotics vs. hay fever

Every year the incidence of hay fever has increased. In the treatment of allergic rhinitis, probiotics are a useful agent. Probiotics are microbial organisms that can survive gastric, biliary and pancreatic digestion and can induce a host response when they enter the microbial ecosystem of the intestines. Some studies suggest that the intake of probiotics has a clinical benefit for children suffering from allergic respiratory diseases such as asthma and hay fever.

The effect of products with probiotics and prebiotics

The balanced content of probiotics and prebiotics in cosmetic products has a significant impact on the treatment of atopic dermatitis. That is why both prebiotics and probiotics are the most important ingredients in our BioB products!

Our consumers, as well as several medical studies, confirm the positive effects of probiotics and prebiotics against various allergies and skin diseases. Probiotics and prebiotics interact with the immune system and help the body to modify its natural allergic reactions. Studies have shown that synbiotics (the use of both prebiotics and probiotics) can reduce allergy symptoms, heal atopic dermatitis and possibly treat hay fever naturally.
