Quercetin: A Natural Antioxidant for Immune and Allergy Support

Written By  Go Vita

Have you got questions about this important antioxidant?
Naturopath Margaret Leedham has the answers.

Quercetin is a natural substance found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. A powerful antioxidant, it combats free radical damage, supports immune function, reduces inflammation, and eases allergy symptoms.

 

Key Health Benefits

Antioxidant Protection: Free radicals are harmful molecules generated by pollution, toxins, and UV radiation that damage body cells. By countering this damage, quercetin reduces inflammation, which is linked to chronic health conditions like arthritis, asthma, and heart disease. Lowering inflammation also improves post-exercise recovery times.

 

Boosts Immunity: Quercetin enhances both the innate (immediate) and adaptive (long-term) immune response, making it easier for the body to resist colds, flu, and other infections. It also regulates inflammation, preventing the body from overreacting to harmless triggers.

 

Eases Allergies: As a natural antihistamine, quercetin stabilizes mast cells, which release histamine during an allergic response. This helps calm symptoms like a blocked nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. Quercetin is particularly helpful for reducing common hayfever reactions to pollen, dust, or pet dander.
(Note: Seek immediate medical attention for life-threatening allergic reactions.)

 

Supports Blood Flow and Cardiovascular Health: Quercetin promotes healthy blood vessel function by regulating histamine and reducing inflammation. It may aid with issues like varicose veins, nosebleeds, and poor circulation. By improving nitric oxide levels, quercetin helps relax blood vessels, maintain healthy blood pressure, and support overall cardiovascular health.

 

Quercetin and Histamine

Are your histamine levels too high?


Histamine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that plays a key role in the immune response. However, some people experience elevated histamine levels, leading to headaches, digestive issues, and anxiety.

Certain foods can contribute to high histamine levels, including fermented, pickled, or preserved foods, aged cheeses, processed meats, and canned fish. Keeping a food diary can help identify triggers, and supplementing with quercetin may provide relief.
