There is evidence that some components exert beneficial effects in allergic diseases. In this regard, the supplementation with some food supplements may significantly reduce symptom severity and functional parameters.Some compounds, including micronutrients, vitamins, probiotics, herbal medicines, could positively and safely be used in children with allergic diseases as add-on or preventive remedies.
