Allergies: Inflammation At The Root
Inappropriate inflammatory responses lie at the root of allergic reactions. Allergic reactions involve proinflammatory molecules and immunoglobulin antibodies stimulating immune cells like basophils and mast cells. These cells release signalling molecules like histamine. Histamine allows fluids and immune cells into tissues, which causes symptoms like stuffy nose and watery eyes. The best way to combat allergies is to treat the inflammation that initiates the allergic response while also treating annoying symptoms so that you can get on with enjoying life. AOR offers several products that target allergies including Quercetin and AllerQue.
The flavonoid quercetin counters allergic reactions by stopping an allergic response from developing in the first place. As an anti-inflammatory, it inhibits enzymes responsible for producing inflammatory mediators and inhibits histamine release by stabilizing mast cells and basophils. Quercetin is widely used by those who suffer from regular and seasonal allergies. Quercetin is available from AOR in two sizes.
