Here’s What to Take and Why

 

Comprehensive Allergy Support Formula

Why Should I take it?

Quercetin – Quercetin is a strong antioxidant that can be found in plants including oak trees, onions and tea. Quercetin is known for its ability to stabilize mast cells*, thus not allowing the release of histamine, the compound known to cause reactions such as sneezing, itchy eyes, stuffy or runny nose and headaches, to name a few.

*Mast Cells-are immune cells that play an important protective role and are involved in wound healing and defense against pathogens. They release chemical “alarms” such as histamine, when the immune system is being triggered.

Butterbur – Reduces nasal irritation brought on by the environment, reduces muscle contraction within the airway and vascular system, reduces inflammation that causes inflammatory symptoms due to allergies.

Stinging Nettle Leaf – Stinging nettles is a plant that has been shown to balance immune response, specifically in the airways and nasal passages. It offers powerful antioxidant support and inhibits histamine release. Stinging nettle leaf also promotes healthy relaxation and dilation of blood vessels for a clearer airway.

Mangosteen Peel – Inhibits binding of the histamine H1 receptor, thus preventing many allergy symptoms from occurring. Mangosteen also reduces inflammation in the airway and supports vascular health.

Ginger Root – Reduces production of inflammatory mediators including leukotrienes*, reduces muscle contraction within the airway and vascular system, and supports healthy digestion.

*Leukotrienes are inflammatory chemicals the body releases after coming in contact with an allergen or allergy trigger.

EVN Recommends:

  • Histo-X

A powerful formula that incorporates selectively chosen, complimentary herbs and phytochemicals that support the body’s healthy response to food and other environmental triggers. This product also supports a healthy immune system.

 

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)

Why Should I take it?

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) helps to clear the airways and nasal passages by breaking down mucus and improving airflow. NAC is an amino acid precursor to one of the most important antioxidants in the body, glutathione. Glutathione helps to maintain overall health and immunity as well as encourage respiratory health.

EVN Recommends:

  • Ortho Molecular N-Acetyl Cysteine 500 mg

A powerful dose in just 1 capsule, provides an essential dose of this amino acid in a vegetarian, gluten-free formulation.

 

Children’s Comprehensive Allergy Support Formula

It offers powerful antioxidant support and inhibits histamine release. Stinging nettle leaf also promotes healthy relaxation and dilation of blood vessels for a clearer airway.

Bromelain – Bromelain is a plant enzyme naturally found on the stem and fruit of the pineapple plant. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that aids in in the breakdown of large protein complexes, including antigenic compounds. Bromelain has been shown to enhance the absorption of quercetin as well, making it more bioavailable.

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) – N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) helps to clear the airways and nasal passages by breaking down mucus and improving airflow. NAC is an amino acid precursor to one of the most important antioxidants in the body, glutathione. Glutathione helps to maintain overall health and immunity as well as encourage respiratory health.

Vitamin C – Because vitamin C cannot be synthesized by the human body, it is an essential nutrient that must be consumed in the diet. Among its numerous health-promoting properties, vitamin C supports the immune system and is also a potent antioxidant. When the body is under a significant amount of stress, vitamin C is excreted rapidly. Vitamin C has many immune boosting properties, but is distinctively beneficial for individuals with seasonal discomfort because of its ability to deactivate histamine.

EVN Recommends:

  • D-Hist Jr

D-Hist Jr. is a great-tasting, chewable tablet that contains a targeted blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, proteolytic enzymes and botanicals designed to provide comprehensive support for children with seasonal challenges caused by common environmental allergens.
