(NaturalNews) Early exposure to probiotics may reduce a child's lifetime allergy risk, according to a recent study conducted by Swedish researchers and published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy.
The researchers collected blood from 61 children at the time of birth, as well as at six, 12 and 24 months of age. At every age tested, supplementation with probiotics (Lactobacillus reuteri) was associated with healthier immune responses and lower levels of immune response to allergens.
"L. reuteri supplementation from week 36 and during the first year of life significantly decreases IgE-associated eczema and lowers allergen and mitogen responsiveness," the researchers concluded.
Probiotics are microorganisms that perform beneficial functions in the body, particularly in the regulation of the digestive and immune systems. Some researchers have speculated that lack of exposure to such beneficial bacteria (and even lack of exposure to certain harmful bacteria) may prevent children's immune systems from developing properly. This is known as the "hygiene hypothesis."
For this reason, many researchers have suggested that early supplementation with probiotics might help mimic a more natural human environment and thereby lead children to have healthier immune systems and lower rates of immune dysfunctions such as allergies.
"[Probiotics] are probably closely mimicking the effects of regularly eating unpasteurized and unsterilized food," said pediatric immunologist and probiotics researcher Anthony Horner, of the University of California-San Diego.
