Atopic dermatitis: more effective basic therapy with vitamin B12

Treatment of atopic dematitis with vitamin B12

In the case of chronic inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, high concentrations of nitrogen oxide (NO) are found in the affected areas of skin. Nitrogen oxide (NO) plays a key role in the development of inflammations. It affects the response of the immune system to inflammatory stimuli. Vitamin B12 binds NO, thus interrupting the vicious circle of inflammation.

Introducing vitamin B12 into the skin

Vitamin B12 is a very large molecule. It cannot simply penetrate into the skin, but requires a transport system. Mavena has developed a patented technology that brings the vitamin B12 into the skin. For an itch-relieving and rebuilding effect.

Treatment and care of atopic dermatitis with B12 Cream works at two levels: The functional substance vitamin B12 inhibits inflammation, thus relieving itching. At the same time, lipids and natural moisturising factors ensure that the skin barrier is rebuilt. B12 Cream thus prevents further flare-ups of atopic dermatitis.

B12 Cream is of course cortisone-fee and is well suited for the gentle care of chronically inflamed and itchy skin

Studies show results

A clinical study was able to show that treatment with B12 Cream significantly relieves the symptoms of atopic dermatitis after just two weeks. B12 Cream was more effective as basic therapy than a standard emollient. The study included 22 patients with mild atopic dermatitis. For twelve weeks, one half of the body was treated with B12 Cream and the other half with a standard emollient.

The study confirms that B12 Cream is an effective and well-tolerated treatment option in the case of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (see diagram; SCORAD (SCORing Atopic Dermatitis) is a tool used to assess the extent and severity of atopic dermatitis symptoms). Mavena B12 products are particularly well suited for use in phases without flare-ups to prevent relapses.
