L-Histidine Supplements may improve measured eczema severity (EASI score) by 49% after 12 weeks
San Jose, California, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Codex Labs, a Silicon Valley skintech company, announced the launch of Bia Skin Barrier Support Supplements for children under the age of 12, based on a license of patents from Curapel, a UK-based skin healthcare company. The BIA Infant/Toddler Skin Barrier Support supplement is an unflavored dietary daily powder for children between 3 months and 3 years, while BIA Kids Skin Barrier Support supplement is a mixed-berry-flavored gummy for children between 4 and 12 years of age.
Both supplements are based on L-Histidine, an amino acid which is a building block for filaggrin, is an important structural protein critical to the skin barrier, as well as a key component of the Natural Moisturization Factor used by the skin to help attract and retain moisture. The supplements also include other key vitamins and minerals that help fortify the skin barrier, thereby reducing skin sensitivity and de-hydration.
“At Curapel and Codex Labs, we believe that safe solutions for eczema-prone skin should address all ages. Long term use of topical corticosteroids is not recommended for young children and the L-histidine-containing, BIA supplement products present a safe and effective alternative approach” stated Dr. Neil K. Gibbs, founder of Curapel.
Dr. Peter Lio, medical advisor at Codex Labs added “When used together with the BIA Eczema Relief Lotion and BIA Unscented Soap, these new supplements provide an integrative approach to managing atopic dermatitis in even the youngest age groups.”
In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, clinical pilot study (Intertek Clinical Research Services) in young children (n = 49; ages 1–7 years; mean 3.4 years) with mild to-moderate eczema, the measured eczema severity (EASI score) improved by 49% after 12 weeks. This level of disease amelioration is comparable to that reported for mid-potency (group III) topical corticosteroids. Complete results are published in The Journal of Nutrition (https://doi.org/10.1093/jn/nxaa200 ).
