In this short video, Dr. Ana‑Maria Temple, a holistic pediatrician, advises parents on three key supplements that can help manage pediatric eczema while reducing reliance on medication. She explains that vitamin D, often low due to limited outdoor exposure, correlates with higher eczema severity and supports skin health. Zinc, a nutrient commonly deficient in the U.S. population, is highlighted for its essential role in skin integrity. Finally, she introduces L‑histidine, an amino acid that contributes to the production of filaggrin‑derived natural moisturizing factor, improving skin hydration and decreasing nighttime itching. The video’s purpose is to provide concise, evidence‑based supplement recommendations for families seeking a more natural eczema management strategy.

The 3 supplements that every child with eczema should be on, and number 3 will surprise you. I'm Dr. Ana-Maria Temple, holistic pediatrician. I help families heal their children's eczema with less medications. Supplement number 1 that every child with eczema should be on is vitamin D. It's the sunshine vitamin. Our children are not outside enough, and the data shows that children with the lowest levels of vitamin D have the highest severity of eczema. Correcting vitamin D also helps the skin. The second supplement that every child with eczema should be on is Zinc. Zinc is a nutrient that is deficient in most Americans, and it's important for skin health. The number 3 supplement all children should be on is L-histidine. L-histidine is an amino acid that is used by a protein called filaggrin in our skin to make skin moisturizing factor. The more L-histidine we have in our body, the more moisture in the skin, the less itchy nights.
