Anxiety Relief: NOW Supplements, Quercetin with Bromelain

As good as Benadryl if you take the right amount often enough!!!

I suspect I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome - I have chronic hives, migraines, runny nose, Anxiety/jitters, brain fog, etc. I received this on 1/14/20. I took 2 capsules twice daily. Didn't seem to have much affect, or if it did, seemed to wear off by midday. On 1/17/20 in midday, the wearing off was very apparent, as I was having caffeine buzz like jitters. I took 25mg Benadryl and it was resolved. The next day I experienced the same wearing off jitters at the same time of day. I decided to try an extra dose of quercetin (2 caps) instead of Benadryl. The quercetin had the same effect as the Benadryl without the drowsiness!! At least for a good 2 hours (as opposed to a good 4 hours with Benadryl) I did read on another quercetin manufacturer's site that this may require a "loading dose," meaning you have to take a lot of it at first, for up to 10 days. I have increased my dosage to 3 times/day. I may even do 4 times/day if it seems like I need it. But so far I consider this stuff gold and I will keep taking it, mainly because I have noticed a great improvement in the "Anxiety" symptoms. I say that with quotes because it is clear this is purely physical for me, not psychological. I have very little stress in my life

Dosage warning

I bought this because I read that it could be used for allergies in dogs. Then as I read other reviews I found that it helped relieve migraines and started taking it myself. I took it as written on the label, two capsules twice daily. Migraines almost completely gone! Sinuses open and breathing was easier! After a couple of weeks I was having severe Anxiety and insomnia, waking every hour on the hour. I searched reviews with these as key words and found that others had the same experience. Further research online mentioned a study where Quercetin interfered with REM sleep in rats. Also that normal dosage should be only 1000mg. Therefore I took one star off this review. I stopped taking this at the risk of migraines and sinus issues returning. They're not as bad as before. Maybe my system needed a jump start. I'm afraid to resume taking it at the lower dose so I've researched foods naturally containing Quercetin and altered my diet. As for the dog, I give him one pill, twice daily. It seems to cause loss of appetite when given on an empty stomach. The alternative is to give it three hours after a meal. This works better. He's also taking Benadryl or Zytec twice daily as well as immunity support treats but still has some allergy symptoms In summary, HUMANS, please start at a lower dose

A useful weapon in a battle against micro parasites.

As one who has battled candida overgrowth for decades, I'm always on the alert for immune system support and weapons against my body's enemies. NEWS Quercetin with Bromelain is both. It's easy to swallow, relieves some of my gut stress, and helped reduce hip pain. No bad side effects when taken as directed. That's my truth. I hope it helps you, too
