Thorne Quercenase Allergy Support Dietary Supplement 60 Caps

A combination of quercetin phytosome and bromelain that provides support for allergy sufferers, as well as helping to reduce bruising and swelling.

Bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme complex, is combined with a highly absorbable version of quercetin in Quercenase. Mast cells, which store and release histamine, are stabilized by quercetin.

Quercetin, one of the two main ingredients in Quercenase, helps people with allergies by stabilizing the body's mast cells, which store and release histamine.

Quercetin appears to have many other beneficial effects on human health, including protection of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system, where it scavenges free radicals and inhibits oxidation of LDL cholesterol.

Thorne's Quercenase combines quercetin phytosome (quercetin bound to sunflower-sourced phospholipids, which increases the body's ability to absorb the quercetin) and bromelain, a compound of protein-digesting enzymes derived from the pineapple plant. Bromelain also helps to maintain a healthy cytokine balance, therefore it has immune-boosting qualities. Bromelain helps reduce bruising and swelling after an injury or surgery.

The antioxidant activity of quercetin appears to be responsible for a lot of its beneficial effects. By itself, and paired with vitamin C, quercetin can reduce the incidence of oxidative damage to the skin and nerves caused by the natural depletion of glutathione.

The sophisticated phytosome technology of quercetin phytosome is an advantage. A patented technique links a botanical extract to a phospholipid, which is a crucial component of every cell membrane, to form phytosome complexes.

Bromelain, which is a mixture of proteolytic (protein-digesting) enzymes from the pineapple plant (Ananas comosus), has been shown to promote healing and reduce temporary and minor swelling and bruising following an injury or a surgical procedure – including dental surgery. Bromelain was reported to reduce swelling in patients with bone fractures in one research.

Bromelain's strong proteolytic activity is responsible for some of its beneficial effects. Bromelain has piqued the interest of plastic surgeons due to its capacity to speed up the resorption of hematomas after surgery.

Take 1 capsule three times daily or as recommended by your health professional.
