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

NOW brand highly recommended by our doctor for quality and consistency.

I bought this to add to my 3 dogs food as one has been itchy lately and another is a new rescue pup who had not previously been outside and being 7 pounds is low to the ground. She began to develop cherry eye, and after a few hundred$$$ at vet and no good news, I started gently massaging her eye and worked on allergens- this product and a probiotic and within days her cherry eye shrunk and disappeared. All dogs respond well to this supplement ( I open the capsule and sprinkle on their food)! Great value for what you receive in this product!

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.

Quercetin has so many benefits that I have been taking it on and off for years. I feel healthier and younger now than I did twenty years ago, do not have any aches and pains and am down to my high school weight. I do believe quercetin and bromelain are part of decreasing my allergies to the point I dont need to take my inhaler or any other allergy meds. Will continue taking quercetin and this brand is one of my go-to brands.

I was on a prescription seasonal allergy pill for ten years. As time went by, it appeared to be less effective. When I would ease back on the doses or quit taking it in winter (I live in the Midwest), my sinuses would plug up horribly and skin rashes would develop. If I got past those withdrawal effects, the itching would kick in. It was indescribable: constant, profound, affecting my sleep. No question, my body was addicted to the medication! I decided after much research to try quercetin as a natural alternative, to relieve these withdrawal symptoms and help me with my allergies moving forward. That was October 2018. The withdrawal symptoms lessened within the first couple days and within a month they were almost completely gone. When 2019 allergy season rolled around, I had an occasional drippy nose...after years of watery eyes and piles of tissues on a daily basis! I also used to get chronic upper respiratory infections, two or three every spring, and these, too, are in the past. I am not prone to long reviews, but I was inspired by other reviewers when choosing the NOW brand and felt I needed to pay it forward! I could never have predicted how much this supplement has improved my quality of life.

Always excellent...

The capsules is easy to take. I have not had a cold since Ive been taking this product. I been taking it for about a year now. Please try it if you want to make your immune system stronger.

I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice. My husband has severe asthma and seasonal allergies and has always been in the ER every year since he was a teen, for his symptoms. He was on all the meds they automatically put people on for these symptoms, all the steroids, inhalers, and nebulizers etc. and they didn’t always work either. They barely kept him functioning. Eight years ago, my doctors were no help at all to me with some of my own issues, and I saw through what was happening and realized they were following protocol for big pharma, and didn’t really know where my symptoms were coming from, so I started studying for myself, researching, etc and eventually healed myself. So long story short, I applied this same philosophy to the rest of my family, starting with my husband, and I put him on this supplement bromelain & quercetin, with a double dose of organic C from actual fruit every day (not synthetic ascorbic acid from big pharma,) and one Zyrtec a day. This was eight years ago. In the last eight years, my husband has not been to the ER once, or a doctor, at all. He has not had any symptoms, save twice, when the oven got smoky from a spill, and he had to open the windows for a minute. That’s IT. I’ve come to find over the years, that the medical industry is one for profit only, so beware and be think for yourself. Almost every commercial you see is paid for by big pharma. Allopathic doctors are trained and schooled by text books and studies that are written and approved of, by big pharma. Taking supplements rarely if ever, hurts anyones. If a vitamin or supplement makes you uncomfortable, stop taking it lol. But don’t listen to the propaganda that tells you supplements and diet don’t work, because that is a marketing LIE to keep you sick and dependent on an industry that lies and profits off of sickness!!

This supplement is really helpful with allergies and not having such shallow breathing- but I was taking the prescribed dosage on the package (twice, two times a day) and ended up having extremely bad anxiety. Upon first her research learned that 1000mg is the dosage you should have daily and one of these pills is 800mg so be careful.

We love this product and have not been sick at all for 2 years while taking these. I recommend them highly.
