Seasonal allergies, often called hay fever, are symptoms that occur during specific times of the year.  This usually occurs at times when outdoor molds release their spores or when plants release tiny pollen particles into the air to fertilize other plants.  Allergies are an indication of a hypersensitive immune system and an inability to effectively metabolize histamine. 

Seasonal allergies depend on what the individual is having a specific immune reaction to.  In the mid-Atlantic states, tree pollination happens between February and May.  Grass pollination happens in May – June and weeds from August – October.  Mold spores usually increase between mid-summer through the fall.  If you have stronger symptoms during one of these periods, it is an indication your body is struggling with that particular particle.

What is Allergy Defense?

Individuals with hypersensitive immune reactions often experience physical, mental, and functional decline even with moderate onset of discomfort (1). 

Formulated with a synergistic combination of vitamins, bioflavonoids, amino acids, and herbs, Allergy Defense addresses the distressing signs of immune hypersensitivity.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid):

Vitamin C is essential to humans and must be obtained exogenously. While most mammals are able to synthesize ascorbic acid, humans lack one of the enzymes required for this process and can quickly become deficient if dietary or supplemental intake is inadequate. Stress, smoking, pollution, and temperature changes increase our requirement for vitamin C.

Well known functions of vitamin C include antioxidant protection from damaging free radicals and the synthesis of collagen, carnitine, and neurotransmitters. Vitamin C also plays a lesser-known role in the deactivation of histamine (2,3).

Bioflavonoids:

Quercetin is an active bioflavonoid incorporated into Allergy Defense for its role in moderating an exaggerated immune response. Bioflavonoids work synergistically with other antioxidants to protect tissues from the negative effects of oxidation and inflammation often observed during hyperimmune reactions (4)

Immune-moderating effects include inhibition of mast cell degranulation and prevention of histamine release during hypersensitive episodes (1,5,6)

N-Acetyl-Cysteine:

NAC is the acetylated form of the conditionally essential amino acid L-cysteine. As a precursor to the “master antioxidant” glutathione, NAC plays a significant role in detoxification and antioxidant protection.

NAC also functions as a natural mucolytic, helping improve lung health during a hyperimmune response (10,11).

Stinging Nettle Extract:

Stinging nettle leaf has been found to regulate a variety of inflammatory activities associated with hyperimmune response, including mast-cell degranulation, prostaglandin formation, and histamine action (12, 13)

What is the recommended dosage?

Normal Dosage:  2 capsules – 1x daily (away from meals – 1 hour)

Advanced Dosage:  2 capsules – 2x daily (away from meals – 1 hour)

When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur. 

What is Resveratrol Power?

Resveratrol is a powerful polyphenol found in the skin of grapes, red wine, and berries. Among many things, resveratrol has proven to be a potent antioxidant that activates anti-aging pathways, including the SirT1 gene, shown in research to improve energy production and stabilize blood sugar.

Combined with the “king of flavonoids” quercetin, Resveratrol Power provides a synergy of nutrients to defend against oxidative damage, assisting in lowering inflammation and supporting overall immune health.

What are the key ingredients?

• Trans Resveratrol (from 400 mg of Polygonum cuspidatum (root): Sourced from the Japanese knotweed plant in the highest bioavailable form of trans-resveratrol.
• Quercetin (200mg) 

Resveratrol Power is made from non-GMO ingredients, is vegetarian, and free of common allergens including dairy, gluten, and soy.

What are the benefits of Resveratrol Power?

This amazing combination of two major antioxidants delivers support to mitochondrial health by reducing free radical damage contributed by a variety of influences, including the aging process alone.

In nature, resveratrol defends the plant against pests and environmental stressors. Resveratrol is the reason why grapes that are grown in harsh climates have a higher concentration of resveratrol produced in the skin. 

In combination with quercetin, Resveratrol Power supports the aging process, improves skin health, provides protection against cardiovascular damage, and reduces free radical damage to neurons and mitochondria.

What is the recommended dosage?

Normal Dosage:  1 capsule – 2x daily (with or without food)

Advanced Dosage: 2 capsules- 2x daily (with or without food)

When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.

Is Quercetin comparable to turmeric?

Quercetin and Turmeric are both antioxidants. While they may have mild blood-thinning properties, they offer different benefits and are not identical. Quercetin is excellent for supporting your immune and respiratory systems, and Turmeric is best used to ease your inflammatory response to help with joint health.

The oil extracts of Mediterranean oregano (Origanum vulgare) have traditionally been used in botanical medicine to support the health of the gastrointestinal tract by promoting intestinal cleansing and a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

What are the benefits of OreganX?

Oil of oregano may support the body’s normal defenses against the overgrowth of yeast, fungi, and unfriendly bacteria, making it beneficial as part of a protocol targeted to support intestinal health and promote a more balanced gut microbiota.

As a source of antioxidants, oil of oregano can neutralize free radicals that lead to chemical damage or rapid cellular aging and deterioration in the body.

One antioxidant component of oil of oregano, rosemarinic acid, is a particularly potent antioxidant and may be beneficial for supporting the immune system and a healthy response to inflammation.

Additional antioxidants in the oil of oregano include hydroxycinnamic acid, p-hydroxyhydrocaffeic acid, and labiatic acid, all of which may have significant health benefits.

What is the recommended dosage?

Normal Dosage: 1 soft gel with a meal each day or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.

Advanced Dosage: 1-2 soft gels with each meal or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. 

When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.
