Natural antihistamine complex – Hista-Aid
This excellent natural antihistamine complex could be the solution if you have symptoms caused by excess histamine in your body.
The Hista-Aid Natural antihistamine complex can provide dramatic relief by balancing the histamine response. These natural agents offer a safe, effective alternative to decongestants and antihistamines drugs.
Flavonoids are polyphenolic plant compounds ubiquitous in fruits and vegetables. Two flavonoids – quercetin and luteolin – have particularly powerful antihistamine effects.
Hista-Aid the histamine release STOP
Natural antihistamine complex, a targeted blend of nutraceuticals that helps balance histamine production
This unique, natural antihistamine complex consists of the valuable natural ingredients below.
Quercetin
This product is full of excellent components that can break histamine. Quercetin is one of the most effective natural antihistamines. It is found in onions, berries, and apples and inhibits histamine release from mast cells and basophils. It is more effective than Cromolyn sodium, a mast cell-stabilizing drug, for inhibiting the release of histamine and inflammatory cytokines from mast cells! This excellent flavonoid also suppresses the formation of IgE antibodies, which mediate allergic sensitization.
Luteolin
Luteolin found in celery, thyme, and bell peppers, also has potent antihistamine activity. It decreases inflammatory cytokine production and immune cell infiltration in the lungs, balancing the body’s response to environmental allergens.
This natural agent inhibits mast cell degranulation, effectively blocking the release of histamine before it causes allergic symptoms. Experimental studies have shown that luteolin has anti-inflammatory and anti-pruritic effects.
This unique ingredient demonstrated the greatest inhibitory effect of all flavonoids on mast-cell histamine release; it was even more effective than the well-known mast-cell stabilizer quercetin at preventing histamine release.
Mucus attenuation
Luteolin showed a beneficial effect on airway responsiveness, decreasing bronchoconstriction in experimentally induced asthma.
Cytokine modulation
High levels of inflammatory cytokines are present in chronic conditions like asthma and arthritis etc. Luteolin inhibits IgE-mediated production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a).
Crossing the blood-brain barrier
Many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and even autism spectrum disorder (ASD), are thought to involve inflammation within the brain. Studies show that luteolin crosses the blood-brain barrier and stabilizes T-cell activation as well as mast cells within the brain.
Researchers have suggested that luteolin may help reduce symptoms of brain fog, and it is beneficial in patients with ASD.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C cannot be missing from this natural antihistamine complex. Vitamin C deficiency is associated with an increased risk of allergies because vitamin C rapidly decreases histamine. Vitamin C alleviates histamine excess by destroying the structure of the histamine molecule.
DIM
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a sulfur-based compound found in cruciferous vegetables and a potent activator of the Nrf2 antioxidant system, and it is beneficial for suppressing allergic lung inflammation.
DIM also decreases histamine by balancing hormones. Estrogen stimulates mast cells to release histamine and downregulates the DAO enzymes responsible for degrading histamine; excess estrogen can trigger allergy symptoms. By balancing estrogen, DIM regulates histamine.
Importantly, xenoestrogens such as BPA and phthalates also exacerbate allergies by influencing histamine activity. DIM has a protective effect against xenoestrogen-induced estrogenic signaling, further balancing the histamine response.
