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

Last November, I went on a 2 week vacation to Tahiti and the Society Islands. Prior to vacation, I had planned on using the vacation to quit vaping ... I figured two weeks of distractions would help me get off the vapes easier, than quitting while I was home. It worked like a charm but while on vacation, I got a productive cough that was pretty persistent. It wasnt that I was sick or anything... I was just easily coughing up lung stuff and it sounded as though I was contagious with something. I got a nasty cold when I got home from vacation and the cough had not had a chance of going away. Not too long after I got over the cold, I got a mile case of the flu and still the cough had not had a chance of getting any better. Fast forward to March I still have the cough. It was most prevalent in the mornings after I get up, and while Im at the gym (I think theres something in the air at the gym that sets it off). Plus, I have allergies and we were getting into allergy season so I chalked it up to that too, but I was taking allergy meds daily and still having the issue. I dont remember where I read it on the Internet, but apparently I figured my cough might due to some sort of inflammation I was experiencing. Then, I connected inflammation with Bromelain and then Quercetin and BANG, I was looking on Amazon for a supplement to help with this condition (I like to give supplements shot before taking OTC meds for too long). Anyway, I ordered this supplement and have been taking it twice a day for about a week, and my cough is all but gone. Yes its still there ... but nothing like it was before, Im happy because its having a positive effect, and now I dont sound like Im giving everyone at the gym a cold. IM DEFINITELY GOING TO MENTION THIS TO MY DOCTOR... to see if theres something more to this; something more serious going on other than a simple irritation. But at least the cough is a lot better than before. OH!... and the stiffness in my hands is noticeably less than before I started taking this as well. DEFINITELY WORTH A SHOT.

I developed chronic sinusitis due to a Eustachian tube dysfunction caused by allergies, Not that my nose seemed to be clogged up I didnt notice any clogging in my sinuses but my ears would feel full and my hearing would be muffled. The past few years I would constantly end up at the doctors office to get antibiotics and when my ears would be full they told me I had a dysfunctional Eustachian tube and I had no clue what was causing it. But antihistamines would help subside the symptoms causing me to think it might be inflammation. Long story short knowing the side effects of taking antibiotics frequently and feeling weighed down from taking allergy pills, even on daytime medication. I started looking for alternative solutions and after reading all the reviews on this product I gave it a try and these past few months have been great. No more sinusitis no more clogged ears. If I feel like my nose is starting to clog up even from a cold, I take the product and my sinus is clear. No more nasal sprays (steroid). I have also sent my sister a bottle. She has pollen allergies and mild food allergies. When she eats certain foods like tomatoes, pineapple, melons and certain other vegetables or fruit, the inside of her mouth would get irritated and/or she would produce a lot of mucus so she would have to avoid eating too much or not eat them, even though she loved them. This summer she enjoyed all the vegetables and fruit she wanted with out any problems. She was so grateful that she could enjoy these food again,she kept thanking me over and over again every time we spoke on the phone. While I do not encourage anybody with a deadly allergy to try what my sister did. She really seems to be enjoying this spring and summer better than the past years. She is also seeing a difference with her pollen allergy too. Now I have to tell you that I started the Quercetin and Bromelain regimen with another product Doctors Best Quercetin/Bromelain Capsules At first before full blown pollen season for me set in, it was working wonderfully but once it hit high pollen season the effect wore off quickly and I did not want to take more than the recommended dosage because of side effects. So I switched over to this brand (Quercetin 800mg Bromelain165 mg per serving) that had a different dosage than the other brand Doctors Best (Quercetin 500mg Bromelain 250 mg per serving) This worked out great for me since I was able to get more of the Quercetins natural antihistamine properties and less of the Bromelain. My life is so much better with out the frequent sinusitis or grogginess from the allergy medicines. Since this information is not on the bottle I think people should know. After doing some research I found out, people with kidney problems should not use this product. And in some cases taking 1g of Bromelain have led to kidney damage. So please use the supplement as directed, or if you use other supplements which include Bromelain be careful not to over dose. Also long term usage of Bromelain has not been tested so they do recommend taking breaks. High doses of Quercetin have also lead to kidney damage and it is also suggested to take periods of breaks after 12 weeks. Since if taken longer, the risks are unknown. Update. Another happy result from my sister. She has allergies to dogs so she could not pet her dog for long periods, because she would break into hives. The other day she realized she wasnt getting anymore hives from petting her dog. She even slept with her with out having any problems. Needless to say her dog was also so happy to be able to cuddle with her again.

Been taking every day. My allergies are about the same. But maybe the season is still peaking (late April). No side effects or anything. I am just unsure if these do anything.

Made my husband’s allergies go away overnight! So much healthier than allergy medications and we don’t have take it as consistently

I have fibromyalgia, which means that my muscles and joints are very weak and often terribly sore. My knees are particularly troublesome-- after unusual physical exertion (ie. two four-hour retail shifts in a row, featuring walking, extended standing and light lifting) theyll start to give out whenever I put weight on them, leaving me unable to walk for weeks. I have actually changed my entire career over this. On the recommendation of the woman at our local Alternative Market, I now take these pills with some curcumin (thats the main anti-inflammatory in turmeric, but I could probably just have the spice instead if I could stand the taste). Within two days, I no longer felt pain. I could feel weakness in some of my joints, but for the first time in years, nothing hurt. Ive just finished my first bottle, and looking back, even the weakness is gone now. I walked ten miles with my fiancee last week, albeit punctuated by frequent sitting breaks. About 2/3 of the way through, I felt some mild pain flaring up in my knees, and in ten minutes of rest I was ready to get back up and keep going. Got home, went to bed, woke up, I could still walk just fine. Starting my second bottle now-- no more pain, and now the weakness is gone too. Its AMAZING the difference this makes! I havent tried it by itself, but man, if it doesnt seem to be doing enough by itself then try it with some curcumin or turmeric!

Very good supplement

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

My wife takes everyday and so does our German Shepherd Shadow for allergies. It also helps my swelling in my legs, Lipedema and inflammation with MCAS Mast cell. Love this supplement! It helps so many issues! Will continue to buy over and over! I highly recommend it!
