ForestLeaf Quercetin with Bromelain - 1350mg Blend with Vitamin C & Stinging Nettle, Advanced Quercetin 500mg Supplement, Non-GMO Gluten Free, Natural Immune & Respiratory Function 180 Veggie Capsules

First, I am not a Doctor, nor medical personnel of any kind. That being said, I started taking the Quercetin on the advice of an ICU nurse. (I continue to take this supplement along with all of my other daily supplements - as we all should in these times we are in.) THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT!!! David (Vendor) and his family have a huge investment in their small business!!! We all need to support them as much as we can!! I strongly suggest everyone take this with your daily supplements.The correlation between taking Quercetin along with Zinc is immense. Here's why...Zinc is the structural element of many molecules that play a role in immunity. It also helps regulate antioxidant balance, reducing oxidative stress within the cell. This important trace element also has extensive antimicrobial activity within the cell. It can act upon a variety of different viruses, helping the body effectively fight them off.During times of illness, since zinc plays such an important role in immune function, the body uses up its current stores of zinc, leading to zinc depletion.A zinc deficiency may result in increased inflammation and oxidative stress, making it more difficult to fight off the original illness. Many of the complications related to severe illness are exacerbated by zinc deficiency.Symptoms of zinc deficiency include loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, weight loss, and poor wound healing. Interestingly, these are many of the symptoms experienced when fighting off a viral infection.

I don’t normally write reviews and I know that’s something that a lot of people write, but I truly don’t. To say that I was miserable, cranky and depressed for the past month would be an understatement. Every day I wake up with a sore throat, a horse voice, and just in general feeling miserable. As someone who has struggled with allergies and hyperthyroidism, I had to lay off taking regular antihistamines because they would dry me out too much and cause other problems because I was “too dry”. I’m allergic to both indoor and outdoor things and have been tested multiple times. I knew that my sore throat was because of sinus drainage at night and nothing helped. I worked in the herbal supplement field for 20 years and I knew this was a great mixture and with the high reviews, I gave it a try. On day two it was the first time I woke up without a sore throat and actually in a good mood and ready to start my day. I truly appreciate this product. It doesn’t dry me out too much. It helps with the postnasal drip 100%. I will go on auto-ship next order. Thank you for this wonderful mixture and I appreciate the vegetable capsule as well!

I love this natural allergy medicine. I have struggled with sinus pressure headaches, and seasonal allergies which had only gotten worse over the 2020 year. My headaches were getting worse and wrecked my days. I soon found out common side effects of cetirizine (Zyrtec) were horrible headaches. I've also tried psuedophedrine and Claritin in the past and didnt like their side effects either. So onto natural medicine I went and this is the only natural alternative I have tried so far. I started by taking the recommended dose (2 pills 3x a day) and it would wear off before I needed it again, sometimes causing itchy throat/mouth at night. So I started taking 1 pill every 4-6 hours and that worked a lot better. Now I take 1 pill as needed every 4-8 hours and sometimes take 2 pills a couple hours before I am going to be near a lot of pollen or animals.Also, I no longer have headaches! I do wish I could give it 4.5 stars instead of 5 because they are very large pills so make sure you take them with lot of water and a small snack because the casing leaves an aftertaste in your mouth if you take it on an empty stomache. But for me it is totally worth swallowing a big pill toallevite my allergies! You may want to ask a doctor before you take this if you are taking other medicines or have health considerations such as asthma. I found a couple scholarly articles about quercetin that I have skimmed overand included below. Also I make no profit, just a person who has stuggled with allergies and found some relief from something natural. I did notice from the articles I included they mention a possible interaction with amoxicillin antibiotic. And I think Bromelain is usually from pineapple so you may want to make sure if you have allergies to that.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4808895/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6273625/"Quercetin is known for its antioxidant activity in radical scavenging and anti-allergic properties characterized by stimulation of immune system, antiviral activity, inhibition of histamine release, decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines, leukotrienes creation, and suppresses interleukin IL-4 production. It can improve the Th1/Th2 balance, and restrain antigen-specific IgE antibody formation. It is also effective in the inhibition of enzymes such as lipoxygenase, eosinophil and peroxidase and the suppression of inflammatory mediators. All mentioned mechanisms of action contribute to the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties of quercetin that can be effectively utilized in treatment of late-phase, and late-late-phase bronchial asthma responses, allergic rhinitis and restricted peanut-induced anaphylactic reactions"nccih.nih.gov/health/bromelainncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6100552/
