Aller-Essentials is designed to maintain healthy immune function in response to the environment, including healthy mast cell function, nasal function, histamine release, cytokine balance and immune cell activity.*

Uses For Aller-Essentials

Immune Response: In a randomized double blind trial involving 75 individuals, Tinospora cordifolia provided significant support for a healthy immune response by maintaining normal nasal function as well as healthy neutrophil and eiosinophil activity. Beta-1,3/1,6-glucan, a natural polysaccharide extracted from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has demonstrated the potential to support overall immunity and to maintain healthy cytokine balance. A randomized double blind, placebo-controlled trial involving apple polyphenols reveals support for maintaining a healthy nasal lining and nasal function. Quercetin, hesperidin and vitamin C provide additional support for stabilizing mast cells and maintaining healthy histamine production. Nettle leaf offers a history of clinical and traditional use for maintaining healthy immune response in response to environmental triggers.*

Are There Any Potential Side Effects Or Precautions?

Beta-glucan, hesperidin and vitamin C have been associated with GI upset. Vitamin C may be contraindicated for people with a history of oxalate kidney stones. In one clinical trial tinospora cordifolia was reported to cause headache in a small number of individuals. Beta-glucan can also cause headache or itching in sensitive individuals. Beta-glucan is contra-indicated in critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician before taking this product.
