 The natural solution – Nature’s Best Quercitin

Nature’s Best Quercetin is the preventative approach for hayfever sufferers to avoid allergic symptoms. “Quercetin inhibits the release of histamine, making it nature’s anti-histamine,” explains Nutritionist Dr Sam Christie. “Quercetin is a member of the flavonoid family of plant pigments and is found in relatively generous amounts in foods such as onions, apples and black tea. Flavonoids are hugely important to the health of our bodies as they neutralise free radicals so they become less reactive compounds. These antioxidant properties inhibit the production and release of histamines.”
 Nature’s Best Quercetin is £12.95 for 60 tablets (500mg).
