NOW Supplements, Quercetin with Bromelain, Balanced Immune System*, 120 Veg Capsules

Love these! Feel great all winter. One cold lasted 3 days!!!

Always excellent...

I have MCAS and POTS and this really helps

I suspect I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome - I have chronic hives, migraines, runny nose, anxiety/jitters, brain fog, etc. I received this on 1/14/20. I took 2 capsules twice daily. Didnt seem to have much affect, or if it did, seemed to wear off by midday. On 1/17/20 in midday, the wearing off was very apparent, as I was having caffeine buzz like jitters. I took 25mg Benadryl and it was resolved. The next day I experienced the same wearing off jitters at the same time of day. I decided to try an extra dose of quercetin (2 caps) instead of Benadryl. The quercetin had the same effect as the Benadryl without the drowsiness!! At least for a good 2 hours (as opposed to a good 4 hours with Benadryl) I did read on another quercetin manufacturers site that this may require a loading dose, meaning you have to take a lot of it at first, for up to 10 days. I have increased my dosage to 3 times/day. I may even do 4 times/day if it seems like I need it. But so far I consider this stuff gold and I will keep taking it, mainly because I have noticed a great improvement in the anxiety symptoms. I say that with quotes because it is clear this is purely physical for me, not psychological. I have very little stress in my life.

Great product...but too bad its doubled in price. One has to wonder if they are taking advantage on the demand.

I’ve used this product along with Co-Q10 and some other supplements as an anti aging regimen. Also I was dating a much younger woman, so I wanted to maximize performance ;). However, I recently had a first-ever hives outbreak. Dr. prescribed steroids, zero impact. Read online studies showing Quercitin at higher doses combined with antihistames helped accelerate elimination of hives. So far, seems like on the mend, we will see. NOW brand is a great value, and was first supplement company to be certified by UL as authentic. Note most other supplements come from China, from uncertified brands, so do we really have any idea that we’re getting what we’re paying for?

I really do think this product works for some people, but it gave me some weird side effects. Perhaps I had a weird reaction to it. Every time I took it, my nose swelled really badly. At first I thought I was getting sick, but I realized it would clear up once it was out of my system. Then I experienced really bad acid reflux from it. I really wanted it to work, but it’s not for me.

I actually bought this for my pup! After doing a little research to find out what I could give him for the itching, scratching & chewing (he has allergies to grass) I came across several articles that said quercetin was an all natural anti-inflammatory & with bromelain it would be more effective, so I looked for some specifically for dogs and I couldnt find one that didnt cost an arm & a leg or a small bottle that barley lasted a month. So I went and googled the best brand & this one came up, went out on a limb and bought it... Hes about 70lbs so I give him 2 pills and day and it has help tremendously! He does still have some scratching but NO where near what it was! He FINALLY has some relief with out costing me a fortune and with out all those harmful drugs, praise the Lord! I have told and recommended this to several people.

Quercetin Review: I hate writing reviews, much less responding to any of them. But as I can empathize with anyone who had my condition, I spent the time to write this review. I had chronic arthritis in my left foot from a foot injury 2 years before. The pain was so bad I had a hard time going to sleep. The pain would start within a few hours after I woke up. The pain was so bad that I had a hard time concentrating on other things. It got so bad, I seriously thought about amputation. I am serious. X-Rays confirmed the diagnosis. Numerous doctors told me there was nothing they could do for it, but I finally went back to my main doctor & I told him I had started using tart cherry extract (two 1,000 mg capsules twice a day) and it seemed to be working. He prescribed a drug called meloxicam (7.5mg) which I also take twice daily. It got a little better, but it still it hurt. So I went back & he gave me a list of homeopathic drugs such as MSM, quercetin & others I forgot. I went immediately to nearest health foods store & bought by chance a brand of quercetin (like 18 $ for 30 to 60 pills -- ouch), but my foot got much better immediately, but not well enough for times when I walked a lot. After I ran out, I went online & bought Puritans Pride quercetin at a steal (I think it was 375 mg to 450 MG or so, not certain, 1 pill twice a day.) It worked fairly good & kept pain abay unless, again, I walked a lot. So when I went back to order more, I read some reviews that made me think that Puritan’s Pride quercetin was perhaps not that good. On the other hand, the NOW quercetin had very good reviews, and the price was around the same. I think my research regarding bromelain helped lead me to it. When I took it, (1 pill 800mg twice a day) I am elated & relieved to this day to say that the arthritis in my left foot completely disappeared. To be fair to Puritan’s Pride, the NOW quercetin was around twice as strong (800 mg vs say 400). But in the same breath, I must say Puritan’s Pride’s prices on their ubiquinol is getting out of the reach of common sense. But the biggest lesson I learned from all of this is that HOMEOPATHIC DRUGS DO WORK, and don’t let any quack tell you that they don’t. Sadly it doesnt help with gout one bit. Only colchicine does to my knowledge.

My mom has Parkinsons and we use this supplement
