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

Great!

It is great for the immune system.

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.

Dealing with migraines for most of my life...I understand theyre inherited from my moms side but they flare with hormone changes & environmental allergies They were getting more frequent two months ago, my dr wanted to put me on a preventive, I take imitrex 100mg when pain starts. He suggested a beta blocker which scared me because I have good blood pressure so I ruled that out. Than he called in a daily antihistamine & reading the side effects I couldnt bring myself to talking that. So after some research to find a comparable natural antihistamine...I found this product & read the reviews on many sites I seem to get a migraine that starts with sinus irritation & my left eye hurts like crazy, scents burn & light is painful. Im prone to hives & just an overall inflamed feeling with certain personal products & food. I try to stick to a vegetarian diet to keep inflammation low I do have the occasional fresh fish. I started taking two of these in morning & two before bed three weeks ago...I noticed a marked difference by day 5...when awakening the gross heavy feeling in my face & brain were not as bad Ten days before my menstrual cycle I get a few doozy migraines & I only had one & it wasnt the usual feeling like wanting to put my head in a vice I still needed my imitrex that day but once I cross a certain pain threshold I need the drug so I can function at work I started telling my mom about this find shes 65 & suffers weekly with a migraine attack as well as my brother Im feeling very positive about the product & will continue to take them & post more reviews The only side effect has been at night while reading my eyes feel drier than usual But I can certainly up my water consumption to alter that

I really do think this product works for some people, but it gave me some weird side effects. Perhaps I had a weird reaction to it. Every time I took it, my nose swelled really badly. At first I thought I was getting sick, but I realized it would clear up once it was out of my system. Then I experienced really bad acid reflux from it. I really wanted it to work, but it’s not for me.

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

Good product

Liked that it contained bromelain in addition to the quercetin

I’ve used this product along with Co-Q10 and some other supplements as an anti aging regimen. Also I was dating a much younger woman, so I wanted to maximize performance ;). However, I recently had a first-ever hives outbreak. Dr. prescribed steroids, zero impact. Read online studies showing Quercitin at higher doses combined with antihistames helped accelerate elimination of hives. So far, seems like on the mend, we will see. NOW brand is a great value, and was first supplement company to be certified by UL as authentic. Note most other supplements come from China, from uncertified brands, so do we really have any idea that we’re getting what we’re paying for?

Great!!
