Allergy Supplements

Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from allergies, and while allergies are common, they can be quite frustrating. Allergic reactions are brought on by the immune system's reaction to normally harmless substances. When this happens, these substances are referred to as allergens. This reaction causes the release of histamine. This immune reaction can result in a wide variety of symptoms. Symptoms range from relatively harmless itching and/or sneezing to severe respiratory distress and even life-threatening anaphylaxis. 

 

It’s important to understand the complexity of the immune system and how it interacts with the human body. The immune system contains a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that protect your body against germs, viruses, and allergies. The body's defense against pathogens, viral infections, and allergic reactions is all provided by the amazing immune system. 

 

Allergies are excessive immunological responses to innocuous substances. The immune system attacks an innocuous allergen, which is seen as a threat. This immunological response can cause sneezing, itching, and anaphylaxis. 

There are three main types of allergies: environmental allergies, food allergies, and seasonal allergies. 

Environmental allergies typically include reactions to indoor allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and even cockroach droppings. 

Food allergies are characterized by adverse reactions to specific foods. The most reactive foods include peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, dairy products, and wheat, among others. In extreme instances, these allergens are capable of causing anaphylaxis. 

Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds is the primary cause of seasonal allergies. This type of allergy is commonly referred to as hay fever or allergic rhinitis. These allergies can be quite uncomfortable and worsen during certain seasons of the year. 

 

Allergic reactions generally entail increased inflammation, which is the body's response to injury or discomfort. Chronic inflammation from allergies can have serious health repercussions, so it must be managed. Allergic reactions can damage the lungs. Allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and asthma can affect your daily breathing. 

 

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) can be unpleasant and disruptive. Skin allergies must be managed for health. Allergies can disrupt sleep, daily activities, and quality of life. Chronic allergies can cause stress, worry, and depression. 

The most common allergy symptoms people experience are runny noses, stuffy noses, itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, wheezing, coughing, and eczema. 

Finding your allergy triggers is the first step to controlling them. For accurate allergen identification, consider skin or blood tests. It can help you create a targeted allergy control plan. 

This may include air purifiers, closed windows during high pollen seasons, and allergen-proof pillow and mattress covers. Over-the-counter or prescription allergy medicines can help. Common allergy treatments include antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal corticosteroids. 

 

Allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) may be advised for severe allergies or ineffective treatments. This treatment desensitizes the immune system to allergens. Change your lifestyle to reduce allergies. Avoiding outdoor activities during high pollen concentrations or utilizing hypoallergenic bedding can assist. 

 

Anti-inflammatory foods and supplements may boost immunity. Allergic reactions might worsen with stress. Reduce stress through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing to manage allergies.

At DrGuberman.com, we carry specific supplements that may help reduce allergy symptoms, which overall helps the body to regulate and function optimally.  

In order to regulate mucus production, Mucolyxir® includes a trace quantity of DNA extracted from wild Pacific salmon. Mucolyxir® appears to aid in the liquefaction and removal of mucoid material, according to pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. 

 

Similar to how ragweed extract is used to dampen the body's reaction to the outside world, the trace amounts of DNA in Mucolyxir® may maintain a healthy mucus barrier by acting as a neutralizing or feedback mechanism.  

AllQlear is a quick-acting seasonal support supplement that contains a proprietary blend of quail eggs. Quail eggs contain ovomucoid, which serves as a trypsin inhibitor to support the healthy stabilization of mast cells. AllQlear has been shown to be effective in reducing the symptoms associated with seasonal allergies.
