Made a huge difference in decreasing my allergic reactions this summer. Skin rashes, face pain, sneezing and migraines 95% improved.
K. Brett –
I have significant allergies in the spring and fall. September ragweed pollen is the worst time of the year for me. Allegra does *nothing* for my allergies in September. I switch to Zyrtec and that helps a lot. But I still have some nagging symptoms.
A few years ago I discovered Quercetin. I take two in the morning and two in the evening every day along with my daily Zyrtec. When I do that, I have *no* allergy symptoms at all during the worst pollen of the year. I am 100% symptom-free when I take Quercetin and Zyrtec daily.
I spent years in misery since nothing would get rid of all of the symptoms. My doctor noticed that I came to him with sinus infections every October for several years in a row. That is all gone now.
I use Quercetin during the worst allergy months of the spring and fall, and I remain symptom-free. Plus, no more sinus infections. Haven’t had one in years.

This works great for my seasonal allergies…. When I remember to take it.
Also, my friend was over who is allergic to cats and had a massive attack. Her eye was so red, watering, a little swollen, itchy, etc. This was all I had so I had her take 2 and amazingly 20 minutes later she was fine!! Incredible! We were shocked.

Wow! This stuff is amazing! Took it as directed on the bottle for 3 days and already noticed a big difference in my allergies. I can actually go outside and do yard work with very minimal sneezing and itchy eyes. This is a lifesaver because my allergies usually leave me incompacitated and I would lie in bed blowing my nose all day; but with this I’ve been able to do yard work, spend all day outside at the park and be around flowers with very little allergies. Highly recommend!

I hate the way seasonal allergy meds make me feel, so when I discovered a natural alternative a few years ago that let me go through spring without either allergy symptoms or that medicated, out-of-it feeling, I was thrilled. That alternative was D-hist. However, the price of D-hist skyrocketed and I found this as a product that seemed to be a similar formulation at a much lower price. After my first allergy season using it, I can say that this has worked for me as well as D-hist did. I used the same regimen as I did for D-hist: a loading dose beginning about two weeks before I expected the pollen counts to begin their spring rise and then a treatment dose as the high pollen counts hit. Count me as a satisfied customer!

I use this for my seasonal and dust mite allergies. I find that this works far better if I combine it with Stinging Nettle Leaves. For further improvement, add forskolin and consider adding (counterintuitively) histidine.

This supplement is the dream for allergy sufferers! Especially if you live in central or east TX. I used to get insane pressure headaches and very stuffed sinuses. No more thanks to religiously taking these every morning. Not all my allergies are gone, I still suffer from sneezing, dry eyes, an itchy throat. However, this stuff caused the major suffering to disappear.

I was not paid or incentivized to write this review in any way. I’m just a regular person who had a LOT of stuff going on that I didn’t know abut. To be honest, I bought this because I read that in conjunction with resveratrol, weight loss would happen – or at least, the prevention of weight gain would happen. My metabolism had been at an all time low, my digestion was terrible, I had acid reflux almost every day. I was kind of worried, but brushed it off as just a minor condition I could cure with slippery elm. My stomach kind of looked like I was a few months pregnant, my energy levels were low to say the least, and my mood was down. Now, I was taking other supplements for energy and mood and they were definitely working – but this supplement gave me a fast, dramatic result – one that I’d never experienced or anticipated. I woke up the day after taking it, and for the first time in YEARS- I could suck my stomach in all the way (this is the week before my period, mind you). I can’t say actual weight loss has happened – but there is NO bloating EVER, my digestion is great, I feel an energy boost and a general lovely sense of well being thanks to this. I think what I got was better than what I was looking for.

These are invaluable when asthma kicks up and my inhaler is not getting the job done. I take 4 at a time and lungs open up for about 6 hours. They work like a great allergy pill except they are a natural solution. Always have a large bottle on hand.

This stuff is a very cost effective lifesaver if you have seasonal/spring pollen allergies. I take 2 of these in substitute of the Quercetin half of the Allergy ReLeaf products

When you can’t get hydroxychloroquine, this is what Dr. Zelenko recommends you take with Zinc and vitamin C. As a prophylactic, we take one Quercetin a day, 30 mg of Zinc (which we also bought from Amazon) and Vitamin D3. Every other day we take Vitamin C. I REALLY like this Quercetin. Not only does it give me piece of mind that I’m taking something to help prevent Covid, but it cured the achiness I was feeling in my knees when I was running or riding my bike. I think this is because the Bromelain helps reduce inflammation. I always take my vitamins on a full stomach especially because some people say zinc can upset their stomach. People on certain heart meds may want to check with their doctor regarding Quercetin.
I’m not a big fan of taking any pills including vitamin and other supplements, but this has been a great product to take with the Zinc. As I understand it, zinc helps to ensure the Covid virus doesn’t attach to the proteins in your cells and the Quercetin acts as a way to get the zinc into your cells. It’s like Zinc is the bullet and Quercetin is the gun.
If you get Covid-19 and can’t get hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) because of your state’s or doctor’s restrictions here’s the Zelenko protocol:
Prevention/Prophylaxis of Covid-19:
Quercetin — 500mg 1 X a day
Elemental Zinc — 25 mg 1 X a day
Vitamin C — 1000mg 1 X a day
Treatment for Covid-19:
Low risk patients younger than 60 with no medical problems and NOT short of breath (with no access to HCQ):
Quercetin — 500mg 2 X a day for 7 days
Elemental Zinc — 50 mg 1 X a day for 7 days
Vitamin C — 1000mg 1 X a days or 7 days
For higher risk patients (with no access to HCQ):
Quercetin — 500mg 3 X a day for 7 days
Elemental Zinc — 50 mg 1 X a day for 7 days
Zithromax (Z-pack) — 500mg 1 X a day for 5 days
Vitamin C — 1000mg 1 X a day for 7 days

My body had so much inflammation that I was constantly in pain. I wanted something natural because NSAD’s was causing me many side effects. So I researched natural pain relievers and anti-inflammatory’s and these 2 ingredients came up a lot. So I heard that NOW brand was a good brand so I bought them. I am so glad that I did! My pain has gone down so much that I barely notice and it’s only been a week that I have been on these. My joints use to hurt so much especially my hip joints that I could hardly walk at times without a cane. I also had a inflamed colon with a lot of mucus in my stools. Now my joint pain is hardly noticeable and I don’t see any mucus in my stools. I don’t know if other brands work as well but I do know that these do work. I have also noticed that my seasonal allergies has tamed down a lot. I am hoping that they will completely go away the longer I take these. I take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening for now and will probably go down to just 2 day when symptoms are completely gone. This is a real and honest review.

As a physician taking quercetin daily for covid. Help absorbs zinc
Golden Mom –
I have increasing painful arthritis in my hands. I’ve tried other herbal treatments, in addition to NSAIDs. After reading an article on hydroxychloroquine, the author recommended Quercetin + Bromelain, Tumeric capsules.
Without much hope, I tried Quercetin. Within a week, I could actually make a fist with both hands and am back to needlepoint. I have had no side-effects!
My second order was another Quercetin vendor and it is not nearly as effective!

An antioxidant and it is an anti-inflammatory. Powerful boost to your immune system to fight co*virus when you take it with your multivitamin, especially good doses of vitamin C, vitamin D, NAC, and Zinc.

I’ve been taking this and olive leaf for the past 3 years and have had 90% less allergy issues.
Shelbo –
I was on a prescription seasonal allergy pill for ten years. As time went by, it appeared to be less effective.
When I would ease back on the doses or quit taking it in winter (I live in the Midwest), my sinuses would plug up horribly and skin rashes would develop. If I got past those withdrawal effects, the itching would kick in. It was indescribable: constant, profound, affecting my sleep. No question, my body was addicted to the medication! I decided after much research to try quercetin as a natural alternative, to relieve these withdrawal symptoms and help me with my allergies moving forward.
That was October 2018. The withdrawal symptoms lessened within the first couple days and within a month they were almost completely gone. When 2019 allergy season rolled around, I had an occasional drippy nose…after years of watery eyes and piles of tissues on a daily basis! I also used to get chronic upper respiratory infections, two or three every spring, and these, too, are in the past.
I am not prone to long reviews, but I was inspired by other reviewers when choosing the NOW brand and felt I needed to pay it forward! I could never have predicted how much this supplement has improved my quality of life.

I suspect I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome – I have chronic hives, migraines, runny nose, anxiety/jitters, brain fog, etc. I received this on 1/14/20. I took 2 capsules twice daily. Didn’t seem to have much affect, or if it did, seemed to wear off by midday. On 1/17/20 in midday, the wearing off was very apparent, as I was having caffeine buzz like jitters. I took 25mg Benadryl and it was resolved. The next day I experienced the same wearing off jitters at the same time of day. I decided to try an extra dose of quercetin (2 caps) instead of Benadryl. The quercetin had the same effect as the Benadryl without the drowsiness!! At least for a good 2 hours (as opposed to a good 4 hours with Benadryl) I did read on another quercetin manufacturer’s site that this may require a “loading dose,” meaning you have to take a lot of it at first, for up to 10 days. I have increased my dosage to 3 times/day. I may even do 4 times/day if it seems like I need it. But so far I consider this stuff gold and I will keep taking it, mainly because I have noticed a great improvement in the “anxiety” symptoms. I say that with quotes because it is clear this is purely physical for me, not psychological. I have very little stress in my life.

Quercetin is an extract of onions and garlic. It alleviates allergies and soothes inflammation. Bromelian is a digestive enzyme found in pineapples, kiwi fruit, etc. It helps digest food naturally.
When you combine them, they provide potent allergy relief. This is great for seasonal allergies, sensitivity to foods and calming down your body’s hyper reaction to allergens. It will energize you, so best taken during the daytime not close to bed time. Highly recommend as a seasonal product which works as an antihistamine without any side effects, 100% natural. NOW brand is very pure and trustworthy.
Quality Counts –
I used to have inflammation in my hands that gave me a trigger finger and made opening up a water bottle impossible due to the pain. I researched inflammation supplements and found Quercetin. It’s a natural compound from onions and apples, among other things. I started taking a double dose in the morning and a double dose in the evening. It took 6-7 weeks, but all of a sudden I realized my pain was gone. Now I’m down to just one or two doses a night.
If I run out and don’t take it for a while, my hands start hurting again. I’m a paying member of ConsumerLabs who test supplements for purity and they always seem to approve the Now supplements which seem to work well for me. I also take Terry’s Naturals Curamin occasionally for pain (the one with Boswellia)

Last November, I went on a 2 week vacation to Tahiti and the Society Islands. Prior to vacation, I had planned on using the vacation to quit vaping … I figured two weeks of distractions would help me get off the vapes easier, than quitting while I was home. It worked like a charm but while on vacation, I got a “productive” cough that was pretty persistent. It wasn’t that I was sick or anything… I was just easily coughing up lung stuff and it sounded as though I was contagious with something.
I got a nasty cold when I got home from vacation and the cough had not had a chance of going away. Not too long after I got over the cold, I got a mile case of the flu and still the cough had not had a chance of getting any better. Fast forward to March I still have the cough. It was most prevalent in the mornings after I get up, and while I’m at the gym (I think there’s something in the air at the gym that sets it off). Plus, I have allergies and we were getting into allergy season so I chalked it up to that too, but I was taking allergy meds daily and still having the issue.
I don’t remember where I read it on the Internet, but apparently I figured my cough might due to some sort of inflammation I was experiencing. Then, I connected inflammation with Bromelain and then Quercetin and BANG, I was looking on Amazon for a supplement to help with this condition (I like to give supplements shot before taking OTC meds for too long).
Anyway, I ordered this supplement and have been taking it twice a day for about a week, and my cough is all but gone. Yes it’s still there … but nothing like it was before, I’m happy because it’s having a positive effect, and now I don’t sound like I’m giving everyone at the gym a cold.
I’M DEFINITELY GOING TO MENTION THIS TO MY DOCTOR… to see if there’s something more to this; something more serious going on other than a simple irritation. But at least the cough is a lot better than before. OH!… and the stiffness in my hands is noticeably less than before I started taking this as well. DEFINITELY WORTH A SHOT.

When I was pregnant my asthma got so bad my doctor wanted to put me on a steroid to get it under control. I didn’t want to harm my baby so I went to a naturopath and she recommended this. THIS HAS CURRED MY ASTHMA, I started taking it every day and now I take it maybe once a week. The inflamtion in my chest is gone. I haven’t used my rescue inhaler for over a year, I was using it multiple times a day before. I feel like a different person.

QuercetinBromelain is a part of my customized vitamin-mineral-amino acid regimen to rebuild my Mom’s body after she almost died from multiple drug toxicity. Her body was so poisoned by the multiple medications given to her over the years, some of which she was on for 20 years or more. She nearly died 5 times, and became so ill she could not do anything. We are rebuilding her health with such things as magnesium, potassium, L-Arginine and other amino acids, and vitamins
We also found that Quercetin/Bromelain is the basis for most of the natural allergy treatments that work. My Mom takes 2 capsules twice a day and has seen marked improvement with her allergies. If the allergies hit, she takes 2 more for instant relief.

Both of my pugs have had severe allergy-related problems all year. I started giving them an appropriate dosage (based on their weights) of this product each day in March, and noticed immediate improvements for them both. Once they seemed stable, I stopped giving them the product, only for them both to regress back to their prior problems. So I immediately gave them both a dose, and thankfully their comfort was restored.
This product kicks in very quickly and is clearly very effective for relieving allergic reactions. I’ll be keeping a bottle in the house from this day forward for my two furkids.
