Can Quercetin help with allergies?
While I have never seen an actual study with people on the effect of Quercetin and allergies, many holistic practitioners report remarkable success with 500 mg of this antioxidant taken 2 – 3 times per day. A study in Japan showed a positive result when Quercetin was tested in the cells of our mucous membranes, as this bioflavinoid was shown to inhibit the release of histamine. Histamine is one of several chemicals that produces symptoms such as allergic rashes and runny noses.
