Probiotics are good for your gut, your mental health — and now, your seasonal allergies, according to a new study review published in the journal International Forum of Allergy & Rhinology.

Researchers pored over data already collected from 23 randomized trials involving 1,900 people, with 17 trials showing people with seasonal allergies improved from probiotics. Participants who took either a probiotics supplement or ate probiotic-rich foods improved their allergy symptoms and overall quality of life. This is in comparison to study participants also with seasonal allergies taking a placebo.

Dr. Justin Turner, an ear, nose, and throat surgeon at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn., led the study, and he explained to Live Science that the trials “used different strains of live bacteria, different dosages, and different probiotic supplement formulations over different periods of time.” So right now researchers can’t definitely say more probiotics will equal less seasonal allergy symptoms. And even if studies do arrive at this conclusion in the future, Turner added “it's unlikely they would replace the standard medical treatments currently used by people affected by them.”
