Are allergies getting the best of you this season? Natural D-Hist® is another fantastic option we carry at Deerwood Family Practice to help combat pesky allergy symptoms. D-Hist® is a targeted blend of flavonoids, antioxidants, proteolytic enzymes, and botanicals designed to support your immune system and combat symptoms caused by common environmental allergens and irritants.
Quercetin has many amazing qualities but one trait that really shines in this product is how it helps to shut down the release of histamine. Histamine is a chemical released by your body that causes itchy watery eyes, sneezing, stuffy nose, post nasal drainage, and other allergy symptoms. D-Hist® also has Stinging Nettle Leaf (Urtica dioica). This plant has shown to calm and balance an overactive immune response especially in the airway and nasal passages. It works with Quercetin to control your body’s histamine release, reducing allergy symptoms. Bromelain is another great component found in D-Hist®. This plant enzyme found in pineapples helps supercharge Quercetin more effectively and supports mucosal health. It helps break down large protein complexes and eases seasonal allergy discomfort. This combination promotes healthy nasal and sinus passages for those with high histamine levels and respiratory irritation. Additionally, Natural D-Hist® can be taken as needed or daily for year-round allergy relief, alongside other over-the-counter medications. We also offer a safe and effective option for children! -- SOURCES 1. Della Loggia R, Ragazzi E, Tubaro A, et al.
