Probiotics are able to restore microbiome and the normal intestinal permeability, improve the immunological function of gut barrier and reduce the intestinal inflammatory response and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine characteristics of local and systemic allergic inflammation. Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of probiotics in the treatment of various clinical conditions such as atopic dermatitis and food allergies and in the primary prevention of atopy.
