Description
Fortifood is a dietary supplement that is marketed as a natural support for the treatment and prevention of allergies. The product contains quercetin, a bioflavonoid which is known to have a strong antihistamine effect, as well as mangosteen extract, which contains 10% mangostin, a natural xanthonoid. Mangosteen also contains more than 40 different xanthones, each of which has been shown to suppress a specific type of allergic reaction in humans. MSM has been shown to benefit the allergy sufferer, and in one study, MSM was given twice daily to 55 volunteers suffering from seasonal allergies which included nasal congestion and coughing. A significant reduction in both upper and lower respiratory tract symptoms was observed. L-Glutamine is well known for its beneficial effects on mucous membranes whilst simultaneously reducing the allergic potential of patients, and also supports the immune function and protects the liver. Bromelain contains proteolytic enzymes derived from pineapple, and has considerable anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling properties. Clinical trials show that it produces considerable improvements in nasal drainage and swelling in patients with allergies. L-Tyrosine improves adrenal function which is important in the patient with allergy potential. Selenium plays an essential role
