Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this project is to evaluate in a randomized clinical trial, double-blind, controlled, the effects of a dietary supplement containing Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 and vitamin D3 in reducing bronchial inflammation and improve asthma control in patients in children with mild / moderate persistent asthma .

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To evaluate if the supplementation for three months with Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 (108 CFU) + Vitamin D3 (400 IU) result in a reduction of the degree of allergic bronchial inflammation, measured with the Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and with a series of markers of bronchial inflammation (measured at 'beginning and at the end of the treatment on exhaled condensate): Interleukin 2(IL-2); Interleukin 4 (IL-4); Interleukin 10(IL-10); Interferon γ (IFN-γ).
