Nothing To Sneeze At
By Kate Rhéaume-Bleue, ND

For some people there are only two seasons, winter and allergy. From the first grains of springtime pollen to the fresh cut lawns of summer to the ragweed and hayfever that are just around the corner, this year has been especially miserable for allergy sufferers. Prescription antihistamines can have undesirable side effects, yet so many people who would prefer to avoid those drugs eventually resort to taking them – until they discover quercetin.

Quercetin stabilizes the membranes of histamine-releasing mast cells to help control allergy symptoms. Now this leading anti-allergy nutrient is available in a brand new formula, Quercetin Complex, which combines five different nutrients – quercetin, grape seed extract, blood orange extract, turmeric extract, and coenzyme Q10 that help reduce allergy symptoms caused by a weakened immune system, pollen, and change of season. The anti-inflammatory properties of this advanced formula help alleviate even the worst allergy symptoms, such as nasal pressure and congestion, and itchy, watery eyes.

Red orange extract is an important source of flavonoids and vitamin C that complement the action of quercetin. Curcumin has been shown to improve allergic mediators in asthmatic patients exposed to house dust mites and is an excellent anti-inflammatory. Coenzyme Q10 and grape seed extract help combat free radical formation and have benefits for circulation and heart health.

A comprehensive regime to eliminate allergies may also include supplementation with probiotics, homeopathy or eliminating food sensitivities, depending on the individual. The unique combination in Quercetin Complex provides the histamine-controlling nutrients to help relieve stubborn allergy symptoms.
