Claims13
A method for the prevention and/or treatment of skin conditions and skin diseases comprising the step of administering a composition comprising at least one chemically synthesized N-acetyl-lactosamine, at least one sialylated oligosaccharide and at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide to an individual in need of same, the sialylated oligosaccharide comprising 3′-sialyllactose and 6′-sialyllactose, and a ratio of 3′-sialyllactose to 6′-sialyllactose being in the range between 5:1 and 1:2 on a weight basis.
A method for the enhancement of the oral tolerance to allergens in an individual comprising the step of administering to the individual a composition comprising at least one N-acetyl lactosamine, at least one sialylated oligosaccharide and at least one fucosylated oligosaccharide, as a synthetic nutritional agent, the sialylated oligosaccharide comprising 3′-sialyllactose and 6′-sialyllactose, and a ratio of 3′-sialyllactose to 6′-sialyllactose being in the range between 5:1 and 1:2 on a weight basis.
