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

I got an ear infection (for the first time in my life) last year. I tried to handle it with peroxide and/or alcohol in the ear, and aspirin to reduce inflammation, but it got worse, so I went to a clinic. The doctor gave me a Rx so I got it filled (expensive little tube of ear drops) and it went away but came back. I thought to myself, No wonder I never go to doctors. See what good that did? So I read up on the internet on holistic type remedies. I am so thankful for you who take the time to leave meaningful comments. As the first reviewer said, this stuff works miracles. I take these and neem capsules plus a garlic pill. Takes care of it every time it recurs. Guess Ill have to be watching for it from now on, but Im convinced it is sinus related and this stuff keeps me from having to take antihistamines. They are discovering that antihistamines affect your memory if you are over 50. I just hate taking meds when herbs and vegetables, etc. (natural remedies) will work. Americans want a quick fix for everything and doctors are all too willing to hand out prescriptions. I personally prefer more old fashioned ways, if possible. Great stuff, these Quercetin with Bromelain. And you cant beat this price. I shopped it to death. So thankful for personal reviews and for Amazon.

I have chronic sinusitis issues and have nearly a constant clog in one nostril. I have tried about everything to help with the issue, including sprays, over the counter meds, and prescription meds. I use a Neti-pot on a regular basis as well to get relief. My doctor suggested that I also take a daily Querecetin tablet to help with the constant inflammation my sinuses have. This by no means is a panacea for my issues. The tablets do help some though and they are part of a regimen that included the oral irrigation that I do on a regular basis to help. I did notice a difference though when I ran out of these and had to wait a couple weeks to get sent to me. So, these tablets do give some limited relief and help with inflammation slightly. I do think these are a also a little pricy per bottle. 3 stars

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.

So I ordered this for my cat who has Spring allergies. She was scratching so badly that she would rip off her hair and sometimes down to the skin. Vet Doc only gave her some allergy medicine that made her worse, so I started to do some research. I found that cats and dogs can take Quercetin because it is an all natural allergy medicine which will not hurt cats or dogs as well as humans. Several articles I found also said that Bromelain helps with the absorption of the Quercitine, so they recommend getting one with both. I took a chance after seeing her suffer for so long and now I am happy I did. My cat not only stopped ripping her hair out, she is much happier. She now comes up to us for love like she usually does when it is not allergy season. Her hair has started growing back and she now plays around like crazy. If you have a cat with allergies, I do recommend you use this, it worked for us. Just in case anyone is curious, the recommended dose is done by multiplying the cats weight by 1000mg then divide that by 125 this will give you the daily dosage. Divide the daily dosage by 2 to get 2 doses (1 dose in wet breakfast food, and 1 dose in wet dinner food). For example, my cat weighs 7 pounds (7*1000=7000/125=56 daily dosage 56/2= 28mg twice a day). Caution, always consult a vet when giving any meds to animals.

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!

I cant take OTC or prescription allergy products due to the side effects and have seasonal allergies in addition to high sensitivity to onion and garlic, anything in the allium family in general, fennel, spider bites, etc. I have been taking 2 capsules of this twice a day (800 mg Quercetin/330 mg Bromelain 2 times per day on an empty stomach) for three years now. I took a health magazine article where an allergy specialist suggested this dosage to my doctor who prefers alternative treatment. When used for seasonal issues, the allergy specialist recommended starting this dosage 4-6 weeks before the start of the allergy season and continuing through the season. In my case, I found that the longer I am on it, the more I can also tolerate or react less to my food sensitivities. This means that while I cant eat onion at all, I can now get by with some onion seasoning and can add a few chunks of onion to the bottom of a roast or in a stew/soup for flavor. As long as I control the amount added and dont actually ingest the onion, this seems to work, most of the time. Now I can eat garlic seasoning and small amounts of cooked garlic, which is such a relief as it adds so much flavor to things and while I miss my onion in cooking/eating, I was a much bigger fan of garlic. When I do have reactions to eating something Im sensitive to, I just take an extra 800mg dose of this about an hour after eating if I notice some reaction. I still get internal throat and ear itching sensations during allergy season. When that happens, I add a third 800mg dose of this daily for awhile and drink one or two packets of Emergen-C. If I have moderate/severe itching and drink a packet of Emergen-C, that seems to reduce the itching after about an hour, but that has only been true since I started taking Quercetin with Bromelain. I hadnt been bit by a spider for years and got bit a few months ago. As soon as I was bit, the area began tingling, hurting, turning red and swelling, but not as bad as before I took this product. In the past, Ive carried an Epi-pen, but I guess Ive been lazy and let that go, because it isnt often one gets bit by a spider unless it is an occupational or hobby hazard. Anyway, I was bit on the web of my finger, Normally the reaction would be for my entire hand to swell, turn red and hurt and it would take a week of Benadryl capsules for it to resolve back to normal. The reaction this time was about 2 inches around the bite site. I applied Benadryl cream, and covered the site with a piece of tape to draw out the venom. After about 15 minutes, I decided that really wasnt helping, so I opened a charcoal capsule and made a paste with a few drops of water and applied it to the bite for a good half hour. With my much more limited reaction on the Quercetin/Bromelain, the charcoal paste application was able to do the trick. A few hours after the bite, there was absolutely no allergic reaction left. It was even hard to see where I had been bit...just a small red dot with a little skin puncture was detectable. Originally I took straight Quercetin capsules without Bromelain. However I know I have been using this brand with Bromelain for at least 1.5 years now and I do think the Bromelain makes a difference and since I am better on this than not, I can tell you that his brand is effective.

I was buying this local for $45 a bottle to help my lungs. I was so grateful for the clinic that recommended these but I ran out and the clinic had a delayed shipping situation. I looked up online and Amazon sells these for a fraction of the price $15 a bottle, less on auto-ship. Plus other sellers/platforms also sell QUARCETIN at way less than $45. Kinda felt robbed by shopping locally but came to terms with that since they sort of saved my life by recommending quercetin so whatever. I just never went back. New to asthma, I didnt quite know what to do and never thought my breathing or lungs would ever recover. I strongly feel that this natural supplement improved my quality of life 100%. FOR ANYONE WITH RESPIRATORY ISSUES you can try this, it was a complete and positive game changer for me. Along with SERRAPEPTASE.- Also sold on Amazon, ships super fast, and it also doesnt break the bank. :)

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.

I have problems with high blood pressure, so it’s hard to find antihistamines for that. I read the reviews on Now Quercetin With Bromelain so I decided to try it. I felt relief with one dose and now that I’ve been taking it for about five days, no more pain nor side effects for me. I’m allergic to cedar and I’m surrounded by it. My face hasn’t hurt nor has my right eyeball felt too big for the socket. I’ll never be without this for seasonal allergies. I am eighty-two years old with heart problems so this works for me.

Very good supplement
