Vitamins and Fatty Acids in Atopic Dermatitis in Children: What Does Science Say?
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that most commonly occurs in early childhood and is associated with impaired skin barrier function and immune dysregulation. Scientific evidence suggests that certain nutrients, such as vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), play an important role in maintaining normal skin and immune function. Nutritional support may represent a complementary part of a comprehensive skin-care approach in children with atopic dermatitis.
