Natural support for allergy symptoms! Quercetin is a plant-based nutrient (phytochemical) found naturally in apple skins, onions, tea and red wine. It belongs to a class of flavonoids called flavonols, which are powerful antioxidants that protect the body from harmful free radical molecules. In addition to antioxidant properties, quercetin may be helpful for allergies. When allergens are absorbed into the bloodstream, they cause B cells (white blood cells) to produce billions of molecules of the allergic antibody IgE. These molecules combine with mast cells and biophils, which are storehouses for histamine. Cell membranes weaken and histamine is released, causing allergy symptoms such as runny nose, itchy eyes, wheezing, etc. Quercetin may help stabilize mast cell membranes, helping to hinder the release of allergy-symptom-causing histamine into the bloodstream. It may also inhibit the formation of leukotrienes and possesses anti-inflammatory effects. Quercetin is combined with bromelain in this supplement for enhanced absorption. Bromelain, derived from the pineapple plant, is a digestive enzyme that also possesses anti-inflammatory properties that synergize with those of quercetin. NSI® Quercetin & Bromelain is better because it:. Delivers 500 mg quercetin and 375 GDU of bromelain per two-capsule serving. Is safe and effective for year 'round support of allergy symptoms. . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"This has helped our dog - scratching, licking and twirling. I give her combinations of what helped me for terrible hives last year. Her regimen includes this product plus vitamin C, vitamin E and yucca caps twice a day. These products give her about 3 hrs of relief during the day. At bed time she gets a couple of antihistimines."

"I have used quercitin/bromelain ever since I started having allergy issues and it has made a tremendous difference.
Most recently, however, I've had a bout with serious digestion issues and I started taking it a half our before meals with acidophilus instead of with my meals and it has helped with my digestion as well.
A superior product and the amount you get for the price is unbeatable!"

"I purchased this product for the healing qualities of the bromelain for after a surgery. Was a little worried about the quercetin (which is also a blood thinner like the bromelain, but actually helps absorption). As contrary as this may sound, it definitely helped speed up my healing time.
As far as allergy relief, I have never been a big allergy sufferer except for twice a year. This product may help a little for this as well.
amazing product!"

"I had the worst allergies, I was taking Zrytec, benedryl on 2 types of inhalers Advair & Albuterol, Pantenol eye drops all taken daily and I still had daily sinus headaches either stuffed up or had a runny nose. I was just plain miserable. After the first 5 days - this has been my miracle - I haven't had to use any of the above items and now after 4 weeks, still no symptons. I highly recommend this to anyone with allergies....."

"I've used other brands of Quercetin & Bromelain but am sticking with the NSI.
The quality seems good, I like that it is a capsule not a tablet (better absorption).
The price seems reasonable compared to other brands."

"My first product in this line and I was very pleased. I bought it to try for my allergies and I felt it was working when I needed it. It appears to me to be a good quality combination of just what I have needed to strengthen my system. I will buy it again if I still need it and I will not hesitate to purchase this line of supplements. Overall happy with the product and purchase price."

"This product is better then what I was using, primarily becuase it is easier to use. Pills are a swallowable size with same concentration as what I was using, and I think they are easier to digest. I am not sure if they are improving my ability to resist allergic reactions or not, because I already was using probiotics which I know vastly improved my immune functions."

This product is a great value and I feel better about taking this than a plethora of allergy meds and using steroid creams."

"I bought this product in hopes of improving the varicose veins in my leg. I would agree with others that it can take up to a week or so to see results but it is well worth the wait. When taken regularly the veins lose their puffiness even though the discoloration is still there it is not as noticeable. If I miss one day of taking the pills it usually takes about two days to catch back up so regularity is important."
