matrips Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 If you think you are coming down with something, how much extra Quercetin, NAC, D or C etc do you take? By milligrams/dosage if you can please. What symptoms would you take extra for? Would you give to your teen? any other info is appreciated. Thanks! 1 Quote

My teen has taken C, 500 mg or 1000mg every hour or two to bowel tolerance and has gotten rid of budding illnesses that way.

I bring information to my teen and let him decide for himself My teen has taken one or another multivitamin somewhat irregularly over the years - working from kid gummies with little in them, to teen ones with somewhat more, to occasional adult or men formula ones. He largely figured out the Vitamin C for himself. I also would take a good Multi B complex and a good multivitamin plus a source of E (like sunflower seeds), A, and Selenium (such as Brazil nuts) I not only would take K1 and K2 to balance the D3, but also for their own sake - for immunity, blood flow, etc (my one caveat would be in regard to “extra” I would check symptoms that could be side effects of anything I was already taking to make sure I was taking extra for an illness (or allergy) , not dealing with side effects to something already being taken. ) https://vitamindwiki.com/Overview+Loading+of+vitamin+D 2 2 Quote
Terabith Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Is it safe to take NAC along with antidepressants? Quote

I would ask doctor prescribing the antidepressants and look it up on sites online that have such information. (Vitamin D, NAC, and inositol all have antidepressant and anti anxiety effects— but none of us are on prescription medication.) Edited July 11, 2020 by Pen 1 Quote
Corraleno Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 @Pen Can you recommend a good quercetin? I bought NOW brand quercetin with bromelain, and unfortunately the bromelain gives me a terrible stomach ache. (Or if you know some way to mitigate the effect of the bromelain, that would also work.) Quote
Pen Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 My main Quercitin is microingredients brand Quercitin dihydrate powder — originally gotten for dog’s allergies. No bromelaine supposed to be nothing else. I also have a Solaray brand blend of Quercitin EMIQ with rutin and hesperidin two other bioflavonoids. 5 minutes ago, Corraleno said: @Pen Can you recommend a good quercetin?

This is a huge help. Ds may be coming down with something. I’ve been doing regular daily doses for us, but he might need more.

I’ve been doing regular daily doses for us, but he might need more. It could just be allergies and heat etc but good to know extra C even can help with that. Thanks again! Most of these vitamins and minerals that improve immune system for illnesses also do so for allergies, so generally its good either way— and they are often synergistic. So C can help allergies. Quercitin is most often used as a supplement for allergies afaik—or that at least was my first introduction to it. And so do D and NAC: The role of vitamin D in allergic rhinitis - NCBI by HQ Tian · 2017 · Cited by 18 · Related articles And NAC works to divide the disulfide bond of a mucin protein backbone, making adhesive mucus water-soluble (and thus, easier to flush out of the system). Progressive Nutracare NAC contains 1200 mg of pure N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine per serving, helping to support glutathione production and reduce symptoms of seasonal allergies.Dec 11, 2018 Seasonal Allergies/Hay Fever: What it is and How to Treat the Symptoms – Progressi I’ve even heard people say that D lessens their food allergy symptoms, I’d probably be afraid to count on that with a severe food allergy though. 2 1 Quote
