Organic Allergy Relief Using Natural Supplements

Allergies respond well to several natural supplements. It is essential that you purchase high quality supplements for maximum effectiveness. Inexpensive supplements may contain fillers and binders which may aggravate allergic symptoms.

I recommend food based and organic products whenever possible.

Here are some recommendations that many adults find helpful. Check with your health care provider to see if he or she recommends them for you.

Co–enzyme Q10 improves cellular health throughout the body and enhances the health of the immune system. Thirty milligrams taken twice daily seems to be effective for most people.

Quercetin is a bioflavonoid which benefits the entire body. It specifically reduces histamine production. Histamine is responsible for many of the uncomfortable symptoms which allergy sufferers are plagued with. Four hundred milligrams taken three times daily before meals is commonly recommended.

Raw adrenal glandular extract improves the health of the immune system. Glandular extracts should not be administered to children. Some people prefer to use raw thymus or spleen glandular extracts as well.

A high potency multivitamin and mineral complex supplement ensures that the body is receiving the micronutrients it needs for optimum health. I like the ones which are plant based and rich in bioflavonoids. Use hypoallergenic formulas when available. The vitamins should contain daily amounts equal to the following:

* Vitamin A 100,000 IU daily for one month. The amount should be reduced to 25,000 IU daily after one month and continued at that level. A natural or emulsified form of Vitamin A is the safest. Read the product label to learn the type of vitamin A in the product. Vitamin A is essential to the immune system. People with a history of substance abuse or liver disease should consume less vitamin A than stated above.

* The multivitamin should contain a rich supply of B complex vitamins. Pantothenic acid (B5) should total 300 milligrams and Pyridoxine (B6) should total 100 mg. The B vitamins offer several benefits to the immune system. Vitamin B6 helps to open up the airways and relieve respiratory complaints associated with allergies.
