Hist Reset

Quercetin, luteolin, and rutin are flavonoids known to exhibit antioxidant and immune-modulating activity. In vitro studies suggest that these compounds help to stabilize mast cells and modulate the release of immune mediators, including histamine, leukotrienes and prostaglandins.4-6 Animal studies suggest that these flavonoids can moderate IgE-mediated mast cell responses.7 Bromelain (from pineapple) acts as a protease, promoting healthy levels of kinins to support tissue comfort. Research suggests that bromelain also supports healthy T cell function and cytokine production. Riboflavin, niacinamide, and molybdenum are cofactors for aldehyde dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in the breakdown of histamine.‡ Preliminary research suggests that supplementation with vitamin C modulates bronchial responsiveness to histamine in sensitive subjects.8 Optimal vitamin C serum levels have been associated with lower blood histamine levels.9 NAC promotes immune and lung defense through mucolytic and antioxidant actions, acting as a free radial scavenger by supporting glutathione production. Due to its sulfur content, NAC is able to disrupt disulfide bonds within mucus, thinning and easing the expulsion, along with the trapped particles, from the lungs.
