I have been plagued by almost constant earaches for at least 10 years. Most of the time I wouldn't even bother going to the doctor for them. When I did he would prescribe an antibiotic and the earache would temporarily go away, but then be right back in a week or two. Finally he decided I had sinus problems and prescribed a couple of medicines that helped somewhat, but still did not eliminate my ear problem, so he advised that I should go on two more prescribed drugs and they would probably take care of the problem. . . I refused. These prescriptions would have cost in the neighborhood of $300/month and additionally some of them had rather unpleasant side effects. Now, I do have health insurance and after meeting my deductible, it would have covered 80% of the cost, but roughly $3600 per year for my sinuses???? I felt there had to be a better, simpler way to deal with the problem, so I started researching on the Internet for what else might be available. . .and I found this quercetin/bromelain product. Reading many many articles in the public press, and a few scientific studies, etc. piqued my interest and I ordered my first bottle about 10 weeks ago. The initial effect was immediate. Really within minutes my sinuses began opening. . .within days my ears stopped aching and in a few weeks my energy level had gone up to a point I hadn't had in maybe 20-30 years. Again reading on the Internet, I hadn't realized what a problem chronic sinusitis could be and I want to tell you that I never considered myself to be one who had a sinus problem. I never had any obvious signs. My nose wasn't continually stuffed up. I did not realize that I had constant drainage, etc., but chronic sinusitis can have as a symptom: great fatigue. I'm afraid that my extreme enthusiasm for this product will make you think I'm some sort of a nut, but since starting to take it I'm walking my dog 2-4 miles per day. I've lost considerable weight. My grand children are living with us at the moment, I've begun to get up out of bed 2 hours earlier than I need to for my Bible devotions and to have breakfast with my grand children. I feel better than I have in years and years. I think the chronic sinusitis was like carrying around a 30 or 40 pound weight everywhere I went. It was a drag on my whole system. Maybe this won't work as well for you, but for me it literally has been a life changer. . .

Most people DON'T KNOW that taking quercetin is one of the only ways to force your cells, (a "lipid barrier", had to look that part up), to accept zinc from food or supplements. Quercetin is an "ionophore", to accomplish that task. Taking zinc is truly worthless without also taking an ionophore. This is a known, but little known fact. This brand is completely fine; never any side effects. By the way, zinc IN your cells makes it more difficult to get sick: This is easily vetted online.

Quercetin has a ton of health benefits, and I like this formulation because it has the right ratio of Bromelain with it for the best absorption and efficacy. I've always trusted the brand NOW. They've always had good reviews, quality products, and when their various supplements are audited by third parties, the results always reveal they're pretty true to what the package claims. I found these pills to easy to swallow, no bad taste, and really easy to fit into my daily routine. If you're looking for a Quercetin supplement, I think you can't go wrong with these especially at the price point.

Good product, decent quality and packaging.

I developed chronic sinusitis due to a Eustachian tube dysfunction caused by allergies, Not that my nose seemed to be clogged up I didn't notice any clogging in my sinuses but my ears would feel full and my hearing would be muffled. The past few years I would constantly end up at the doctors office to get antibiotics and when my ears would be full they told me I had a dysfunctional Eustachian tube and I had no clue what was causing it. But antihistamines would help subside the symptoms causing me to think it might be inflammation. Long story short knowing the side effects of taking antibiotics frequently and feeling weighed down from taking allergy pills, even on daytime medication. I started looking for alternative solutions and after reading all the reviews on this product I gave it a try and these past few months have been great. No more sinusitis no more clogged ears. If I feel like my nose is starting to clog up even from a cold, I take the product and my sinus is clear. No more nasal sprays (steroid). I have also sent my sister a bottle. She has pollen allergies and mild food allergies. When she eats certain foods like tomatoes, pineapple, melons and certain other vegetables or fruit, the inside of her mouth would get irritated and/or she would produce a lot of mucus so she would have to avoid eating too much or not eat them, even though she loved them. This summer she enjoyed all the vegetables and fruit she wanted with out any problems. She was so grateful that she could enjoy these food again,she kept thanking me over and over again every time we spoke on the phone. While I do not encourage anybody with a deadly allergy to try what my sister did. She really seems to be enjoying this spring and summer better than the past years. She is also seeing a difference with her pollen allergy too. Now I have to tell you that I started the Quercetin and Bromelain regimen with another product "Doctor's Best Quercetin/Bromelain Capsules" At first before full blown pollen season for me set in, it was working wonderfully but once it hit high pollen season the effect wore off quickly and I did not want to take more than the recommended dosage because of side effects. So I switched over to this brand (Quercetin 800mg Bromelain165 mg per serving) that had a different dosage than the other brand "Doctors Best" (Quercetin 500mg Bromelain 250 mg per serving) This worked out great for me since I was able to get more of the Quercetin's natural antihistamine properties and less of the Bromelain. My life is so much better with out the frequent sinusitis or grogginess from the allergy medicines. Since this information is not on the bottle I think people should know. After doing some research I found out, people with kidney problems should not use this product. And in some cases taking 1g of Bromelain have led to kidney damage. So please use the supplement as directed, or if you use other supplements which include Bromelain be careful not to over dose. Also long term usage of Bromelain has not been tested so they do recommend taking breaks. High doses of Quercetin have also lead to kidney damage and it is also suggested to take periods of breaks after 12 weeks. Since if taken longer, the risks are unknown. Update. Another happy result from my sister. She has allergies to dogs so she could not pet her dog for long periods, because she would break into hives. The other day she realized she wasn't getting anymore hives from petting her dog. She even slept with her with out having any problems. Needless to say her dog was also so happy to be able to cuddle with her again.

This brand works well at keeping my whole family’s immune system up during cold and flu season. I trust Now brand’s quality and consistency of product. Functional medicine doctor also recommended I take it.

I purchased this a few years ago after research saying it was great for allergies and asthma. I have mild asthma and it was wonderful at helping that so I didn’t have to take singulair and Symbicort which didn’t work great and had side effects. This worked great! Although it came with getting my acid reflux/heartburn again. I have had that in the past and sucked to get it back again. But I had also neck issues and Quercetin worked wonders for that pain for sure. I didn’t have to take any pain relievers so I stuck it out. But just couldn’t deal with the reflux anymore cuz taking acv didn’t help. So I stopped. The pain came back but I did other things by that time to control it. Got my acid reflux on track and had to heal my esophagus so I did the acid reflux diet and took Zantac temporarily (before the recall). But recently I’ve had a lot of migraines because of allergies (the weather) and my neck issues. So I decided to try this once again. I took two this time to start out because last time I think I took too much so I ended up with acid reflux. But I got bad heartburn. But then I just took one which is 400mg and jackpot! That worked. No reflux(well maybe a tad but goes away and I can handle it with Pancreatin or enzymes). And it helped my asthma in conjunction with Mullien leaf supplement. It also helped my allergies with taking allegra and a homeopathic along side. And I can add it still helped my pain. Ever since taking this again I havnt had a migraine! Extra benefits are that it seems to help my overall digestion as well and helps my overactive bladder, which is a plus. So take one and give it a try if you think it would work for you. 😃
