Top Supplements For Allergies

It's allergy season! As they seem to say every year, pollen is at an all-time high. Along with working on your gut health and hormones to help reduce histamine responses, there are some great supplements out there you can take to help your body break down histamine.

 

My Top Picks:

 

Plant Sterols – May help to supporting the balance of TH1/ TH2 immune cells which when are out of balance are associated with autoimmune conditions and allergies  https://amzn.to/3vGVPPn  

 

Balanced Zinc – We use zinc for literally hundreds of processes every single day, one of which is making the enzyme that breaks down quercetin. Those who should especially consider taking a zinc supplement are vegans, vegetarians and men.  https://amzn.to/3A0sG4k

 

Omega 3 – Omega 3 fatty acids aid with reducing inflammation which can be helpful in managing the inflammatory response involved in allergy reactions  https://amzn.to/3P0o02v   

 

Quercetin

Quercetin is a potent bioflavonoid which along with having antioxidant properties, helps the body create the enzyme that breaks down histamine  https://amzn.to/3P0o02v
