Within the framework of micronutrient medicine (vital substances), the following vital substances (micronutrients) are used for the prevention (prophylaxis) of bronchial asthma:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B6
- Magnesium
- Hesperitin and naringenin
In the context of micronutrient medicine (vital substances), the following vital substances (macronutrients) are used for supportive therapy of bronchial asthma:
- Omega-3 fatty acids – omega-3 eicosapentaenoic acid, omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid.
- Omega-6 fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid
Furthermore, magnesium is used in supportive therapy of bronchial asthma, where the mode of application is crucial. An oral therapy showed no efficacy, while an intravenous or bronchial (nebulizing spray) application has been shown to have an effect.
The above vital substance recommendations (micronutrients) were made with the help of medical experts. All statements are supported by scientific studies with high levels of evidence.
For a therapy recommendation only clinical studies with the highest evidence grades (grade 1a/1b and 2a/2b) were used, which prove the therapy recommendation due to their high significance. These data are updated at certain intervals.
* Vital nutrients (macro- and micronutrients) include vitamins, minerals, trace elements, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, etc.
