Every year around March to June, my seasonal allergy symptoms act up. I get itchy eyes and facial skin, stuffy nose, teary eyes, dry throat and at extreme cases even have a time to breathe. I usually start to walk when I am experiencing breathing issues. For the last two years and current year, I have been using NOW Quercetin with Bromelain product to help contain my allergy symptoms.
Although my symptoms are there, it is mild compare to when I didn't use to take this product.
You can currently buy this product on Amazon.
Generally, the review is above 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon. And you can see a lot of people have bought this product based on over 900 reviews.
For this product, you should take 2 capsules 20 minutes before meals, twice daily. Most of the time I only take it one time during the early morning. However, the symptoms are really strong, then I took another one in the early evening.
Here are some of the research and related reviews:
What is the quercetin derived from?
Quercetin is a plant pigment (flavonoid). It is found in many plants and foods, such as red wine, onions, green tea, apples, berries, Ginkgo biloba, St. John's wort, American elder, and others. Buckwheat tea has a large amount of quercetin. People use quercetin as a medicine.
Quercetin is a natural antihistamine, allergy relief! Take Quercitin with vitamin C to enhance the benefits even more!
Why is the bromelain added/what is its benefit?
Bromelain is found in pineapple and is an anti-inflammatory. It helps with allergies as well as joint pain. It also helps with digestion and inflammation.
How much quercetin and bromelain is in each capsule?
Each capsule has 400mg Quercetin and 82.5mg Bromelain.
Is there any thing that come from China?
One individual did a lot of research before buying this product (Quercetin) from NOW Foods. He wanted to be sure it was "China free" as one may be concerned about potential toxic metals in vitamins. He called the manufacturer and they were kind enough to actually look up their formula while he was on the phone to determine the source of the raw materials. Nothing was from China (which was my main concern).
Some reviews:
- A miracle for my allergies! I have terrible allergies year-round (pollen, dust, mold, pets, etc.) and this has made a huge difference .
- I hate the way seasonal allergy meds make me feel, so when I discovered a natural alternative a few years ago that let me go through spring without either allergy symptoms or that medicated, out-of-it feeling, I was thrilled. I can say that this has worked for me
