What is the primary symptom of atopic dermatitis?
Atopic Dermatitis is a chronic skin disease that typically begins in childhood. When babies are 4-months old, the eczema is common to appear on the face. After a period of time, redness and rashes may be found around cheeks, chin, and scalp. In 6-months, it will spread to other areas of the body, including wrists, ankles, and the bend of elbows and knees. In acute stage, it can become oozy, and leak fluid. In chronic stage, the skin is very dry and desquamated. These are symptoms and signs of Atopic Dermatitis. Itchiness is the hallmark of Atopic Dermatitis, especially during sleep time, bed sheets and body heat make eczema and itchiness even worse. Poor sleep quality caused by scratching are also common.
How does Atopic Dermatitis occur?
First of all, patients with Atopic Dermatitis usually have mutation of the gene that is responsible for creating filaggrin. Filaggrin is a key protein that facilitate terminal differentiation of the epidermis and formation of the skin barrier. The skin barrier becomes weak without enough filaggrin. We can think of the human skin barrier as layers of stacked bricks.
Under normal conditions, the layers of bricks are strong enough to defend the entry of bacteria and virus. However, for those who suffer from Atopic Dermatitis conditions, the layers of bricks are not properly layered, therefore, the bacteria, virus and allergen can easily enter through the skin barrier, leaving it dry and prone causing itchiness and rashes. Once the allergen invades, it will cause inflammatory skin. Inflammation causes itchiness, itchiness leads to scratching. Scratching worsen inflammation. Therefore, the endless scratching and itching creates a vicious cycle.
New study found certain peptide is benefitial in AD treatment
The study has found that Atopic Dermatitis patients lack certain type of peptide, especially among Asians, the amount of which is 29% less than normal people. Proentry peptide is clinically-proven to help reduce allergy index. The study in Taiwan medical centers show that Proentry peptide can help reduce chronic inflammation, and keep the immune system balanced. The study is also published in international peer-reviewed journal, British Journal of Nutrition.
What is Proentry peptide?
We all have anti-allergy factors in our body. This factor is found in breastmilk, which is proven to be effective in repairing intestinal mucosa, respiratory mucosa, and skin mucosa. It can help defend bacteria and virus invasions. More importantly, it can help balance the immune system, reduce chronic inflammation, and enhance our body defense system. This is the main concept of how Proentry peptide was developed.
Proentry will decrease rapidly over time
The amount of Proentry in breastmilk quickly decreases within a short time, the study also shows that allergic patients are more likely found lacking of this key factor. Fortunately, researchers have found this certain peptide in milk, the structure of which is 100% the same as that in the human body. However, the amount is so low, which makes it very difficult to keep it under active form during regular production process.
This is why we are not able to obtain such factor by just drinking milk.
Proentry peptide is recommended by Taiwan medical center, the newest finding to help keep Atopic Dermatitis away!
