🌾 Do You Have Allergies?
Nutritional Support for Seasonal & Environmental Allergies
Seasonal and environmental allergies can bring on sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue — often triggered by pollen, dust, or changing weather. While supplements can’t prevent allergies, certain nutrients and herbs may help support a healthy histamine response and reduce discomfort.

💪 Key Nutrients & Supplements That May Help Support Allergy Relief
Quercetin
A natural flavonoid that helps stabilize mast cells and regulate histamine release. Often used in combination with bromelain or vitamin C.
Vitamin C
Acts as a natural antihistamine and supports immune resilience. May reduce symptom severity with consistent use.
Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica)
A traditional herb used to help reduce allergy symptoms. Works best when taken consistently during allergy-prone months.
Butterbur (Petasites hybridus)
May help reduce nasal congestion and inflammation. Look for “PA-free” extracts to ensure safety.
Bromelain
An enzyme found in pineapple that supports sinus health and helps the body absorb quercetin more effectively.
Probiotics
Support gut health, which plays a role in immune balance and may help reduce allergy symptoms over time. Certain strains like Lactobacillus rhamnosus may be especially helpful.
🥗 Lifestyle & Nutrition Tips for Allergy Season
- Rinse off after outdoor activity – Shower and change clothes to reduce pollen exposure
- Keep windows closed during high pollen days – Use a HEPA air purifier indoors
- Use a saline nasal rinse – Helps flush allergens and soothe irritated nasal passages
- Eat anti-inflammatory foods – Berries, leafy greens, turmeric, and wild-caught fish
- Stay hydrated – Keeps mucous membranes moist and more resilient

Quercetin works best when taken consistently over time — ideally starting 2–4 weeks before peak allergy season. Pairing it with bromelain helps enhance absorption and its antihistamine effects.
