Which supplements are best for seasonal allergies?

I have used HAS by Nature’s Way for ragweed allergies in the fall with great success. I have also since increased my Vitamin D intake the last few years, now I rarely take HAS or anything for seasonal allergies.

Judith- I live in south Florida and have been taking quercetin year round twice a day for years. I was so happy to be off of Zyrtec and over the counter allergy meds. It absolutely works for me.

MSM has worked for me and is well known to reduce or eliminate allergy symptoms. I was surprised not to see it listed. You need to take a teaspoon twice a day or more during allergy season. Also great for nails, hair, skin and joints. If the ingredient says OptiMSM it's made in the USA.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned local honey. The theory is by taking a teaspoon regularly - straight or with tea, it builds up antibodies to the local allergens as the bees will use pollen from local flora. It has worked for me and many others I've discussed this with

My family has used Country Life's Aller-Max. My husband used to have 3-4 sinus infections every year. In 1997 I discovered Aller-Max and gave it to him for 6 mos. He has YET to have a sinus infection! I myself have been having a runny nose all the time. Some kind of allergy. I understand Aller-Max has undergone changes - more quercitan, etc. So have started on a protocol of using every day for 3 weeks. I am in week two it has lessened so I am encouraged. It also has stinging nettle among other ingredients.

I believe there was a recent study mentioning that probiotics helped seasonal allergies

My family and I use D Hist by Orthomolecular. Very good!

Try Stinging Nettle (freeze dried). Hopefully Consumer Labs will do a purity test for Stinging Nettle, I don't see one as yet.

Stinging Nettle is a natural anti-histamine & anti-inflammatory (one study showed 57% of patients found stinging nettle relieved allergies & 47% found it as effective as prescription anti-histamine medication) [from University of Maryland Medical Center review of Stinging Nettle research]

My husband and a closed friend both have terrible seasonal allergies and they used to take Claritin or other prescription antihistimines daily (my husband can't take Claritin too many sideaffects, needs to take prescription Clarinex ) Also my husband cannot take pseudophedrine to help with the symptoms since it aggravates his BPH and causes a flareup (prostate tissue similar to sinus tissue, not good when it dries out)
Even on antihistamine medication they both still had allergy symptoms and just didn't feel well on the drugs... They have both started taking freeze dried Stinging Nettle daily and NO LONGER need to take antihistamine medication and barely have any allergy symptoms, no sideaffects & the side benefit is that it is also helping their BPH.

I've been using stinging nettle and that seems to work well

For the past 6 or 8 years, I have been using quercitin -- specifically, a product put out by Source Naturals called 'Acivated Quercitin" which has been enormously helpful to me. I have really bad seasonal allerigies, with tree and grass pollen being the worst. The only inconvenience is that, duirng allergy season, I need to take 2 capsules 3 time a day -- but this minor inconvenience is well worth the effort to control my symptoms.

Why don't you ever mention Serrapeptase, which has wiped my allergy symptoms off the map? It is good for so many ailments that my doctor even has it in his office. It literally eats up all inflammation in your body, so any inflammation causing condition is healed considerably. It doesnt' cure allergies, but it reduces the symptoms about 95%. It cured my arthritis and now I am taking a stronger dose to clean my arteries.
