Say NO…to ALLERGIES!
Lets face it, nobody enjoys allergy symptoms. Sneeze attacks, itchy eyes, congestion and sinus pressure — allergy symptoms can range from a slight annoyance to totally miserable.
Can you imagine complete relief from allergy symptoms this spring with safe, natural formulations of research-backed herbs and nutrients. Read on!
Quercetin
Mast Cell Stabilization: Quercetin is known for its ability to stabilize mast cells, which are key players in the allergic response. By preventing mast cells from releasing histamine and other inflammatory compounds, quercetin helps reduce the severity of allergic symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and congestion.
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Quercetin possesses potent anti-inflammatory properties, which can help alleviate the inflammation associated with allergic reactions. By inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enzymes, quercetin helps dampen the overall immune response to allergens.
Antioxidant Activity: Quercetin acts as an antioxidant, scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress in the body. This antioxidant activity helps mitigate inflammation and supports overall immune function, potentially providing relief from allergy symptoms.
Stinging Nettle
Histamine Modulation: Stinging nettles contain bioactive compounds that interfere with the body's histamine response. By blocking histamine receptors or inhibiting the release of histamine from mast cells, stinging nettles may help reduce allergic symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and nasal congestion.
Anti-inflammatory Effects: Like quercetin, stinging nettles possess anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate the inflammation associated with allergies. By reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators, stinging nettles may contribute to symptom relief.
Support for Respiratory Health: Some research suggests that stinging nettles may support respiratory health by reducing inflammation and improving airflow. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with allergies that affect the respiratory system, such as allergic rhinitis or asthma.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC)
Mucolytic Properties: NAC is a precursor to glutathione, a powerful antioxidant produced by the body. NAC has mucolytic properties, meaning it helps thin mucus and promote its clearance from the respiratory tract. This can be beneficial for individuals experiencing nasal congestion or respiratory symptoms due to allergies.
Antioxidant Support: NAC boosts the body's production of glutathione, which helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. By supporting antioxidant defenses, NAC may help mitigate inflammation and oxidative damage associated with allergic reactions.
Immune Modulation: NAC may modulate immune function, helping to balance the immune response to allergens. By regulating immune cell activity and cytokine production, NAC may reduce the severity of allergic symptoms and support overall immune health.
Immune Booster Acute
Ortho Molecular’s D-Hist (privately labeled at Lake Pointe as Immune Booster Acute) is a great option for those seeking natural options for allergy relief. Compared to allergy medications like Sudafed, Immune Booster Acute provides relief using Quercetin, Stinging Nettle, and N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, as well as Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme compound, and Vitamin C.
Immune Booster is available in capsule form for adults and a chewable for kids. GIve us a call and we’ll get you set for the season!
