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

Due to some health issues I have with my leaky gut and adrenal glands, Ive got HORRIBLE allergies. The kind that never ease up. Ive got multiple chemical sensitivities, as well. While Im working on detoxing my body/liver, I wanted to find something natural I could take for my allergies. Ive been using a lot of Benedryl and that probably isnt helping my liver detox in any way. It was recommended to me to try quercetin and to take it with vitamin C, as that enhances the bioavailability of the product. I started taking quercetin roughly 3 months ago. Since I didnt notice any change, I stopped taking it after a few weeks. Awhile later, I realized I had only been taking it sporadically, so it probably was not present in sufficient quantity to help my allergies. Its supposed to stabilize the cell membranes of mast cells, which release histamine in an allergic response cascade. I started using it again, consistently this time. To my delight, within just a few days, I noticed a difference. I didnt feel as fatigued, and my sensitivity to chemical smells was much, much better. As a result, my body felt less fatigued and run down. I really like this stuff and plan on using it for a long time. I use more than the recommended dosage (I take 2-3 capsules two or three times a day, depending on how Im feeling that day), but Ive got some pretty chronic health issues Im working on resolving. This stuff is absolutely aiding in my recovery, and Im really glad I found it. Ive tried a few brands of quercetin, and they all work fine for me. But I like the price of NOW products, and Ive always felt this is a decent brand.

I have IC and I have tried so many supplements for my symptoms. I started this recently with other supplements I take and … I think it’s helping like I haven’t had relief like this before. I hope it continues to help

Great!!

Seems to give me bad stomach ache. Like acid reflux too. I had to stop taking them so the actual effects I don’t know. I had bought others and it worked great for congestion. That’s all I have.

Thanks so very much!

Not happy prices are going up, but does its job.

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.

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.

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!

I hardly ever write reviews on amazon but seeing as how many of the reviews helped me figure out what dose I needed for allergies Im going to chronicle my experience. First off this supplement is amazing. Before I started my Quercetin regiment I was taking Allegra- D 180mg, I had very severe allergies. It worked OK , but after 3 months I started having really bad ED. Yes, erectile dysfunction. As a 23 year old theres no reason for me to have ED. I also had problems sleeping, feeling tired, and being angry all the time. This was when I started looking for something different, and did some research into Quercetin. After trial and error I figured the dose that works for me (I am 220lbs) was 2 capsules in the morning 7am and 2 capsules in the afternoon 12-3pm. I also take a 10mg singular every morning. After about 3 days of getting off Allegra and starting this I had amazing results. My allergy symptoms were completely gone and I regained my manhood. Additionally I feel refreshed, and my muscles feel a lot better in general. I have a job that requires me to be extremely active and after starting this supplement I feel like it takes a lot more work for me to feel sore. Overall Im glad I made the switch . This works better than any other allergy medication Ive tried, and trust me Ive tried everything.
