Source Naturals Activated Quercetin, Bioflavonoid Complex, 200 capsules

Thus product helped get my algeries under control.

Great quality, thank you for a great product.

You would think by the name on the front, the product would be all quercetin. It's not in fact it only has one gram of quercetin in it. I should have read the label. But the literal cover says activated quercetin. Down at the bottom in tiny print it says bioflonoid complex. It's mostly vit c and bromelin. It also suggests you take 3 pills at least 2 times a day. It is because the amounts are so low. Don't do what I did. Don't buy this thinking it's quercetin. Just for reference the last quercetin I bought had 425 mg in it. This has 1mg per tablet.

These are part of my regimen for the season of high pollen, and help when I am having other types of inflammation going on in my body. I take them on an empty stomach (I keep them next to the bed to take first thing in the morning, and wait to eat for about an hour, in order to take better advantage of the anti inflammatory properties). Have used this brand for years and they have been of consistently high quality.

I have within the past year been diagnosed with a histamine intolerance, which finally explains my bouts of uncontrollable drowsiness (to the point where if I stay awake I almost start blacking out) and/or intense migraines that seem to come out of nowhere. I have been able to avoid these symptoms by carefully monitoring what I eat, and especially avoiding slow-cooked meats and dried fruits. However, occasionally something will set the symptoms off unexpectedly. This is where quercetin comes in. When I feel the drowsiness start to come on, I take anywhere from four to ten of these tablets, and it wards off the symptoms. After an hour or two I feel normal again.

As an experiment, I tried taking this quercetin with a few servings of dried fruit. Eating from this exact same bag of fruit previously made me so drowsy I was down for the evening and the whole next day, unable to think clearly or move much, almost unable to see or balance, until I was able to take quercetin. I tried eating the fruit with eight or so of these quercetin tablets, and I experienced only very mild sleepiness. This confirmed to me that they do work for fending off the histamine symptoms.

This benefit was unexpected; I originally bought this product because it's supposed to have solid health benefits. I can't say for sure whether it's working in that regard, but overall I'm extremely glad to have this product and I plan to keep it in my supplement arsenal indefinitely. I believe that anyone with histamine intolerance should try quercetin as a possible remedy.
