As spring approaches and summertime activities begin to fill our calendars, the return of seasonal allergies is an unfortunate reality for many. Whether you're planning outdoor adventures, picnics, or simply soaking up the sunshine, allergy symptoms can quickly get in the way.
That’s where Querca Max comes in. Formulated with a powerful blend of vitamin C, bioflavonoids, amino acids, and natural herbs, Querca Max offers a holistic approach to managing allergy symptoms. By supporting your immune system and reducing inflammation, Querca Max helps you stay comfortable so you can fully enjoy everything the warmer months have to offer.
What’s in Querca Max?
Querca max is formulated to contain synergistic ingredients, helping combat allergy symptoms and inflammation flare-ups. It contains:
● Quercetin
● Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
● N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
● Nettle extract
Each of these ingredients has been shown to work synergistically to help reduce inflammation. Here's a closer look at how each one contributes to that effect.
Quercetin
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid, which is a compound commonly found in plants such as fruits and vegetables. Bioflavonoids work by inhibiting the release of histamines and the breakdown of mast cells to help prevent inflammation. Quercetin is difficult for the body to absorb, but Querca Max contains a bioavailable form that improves absorption. This allows you to fully benefit from its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, meaning our bodies cannot make it and must obtain it from diet or supplementation. Vitamin C is commonly known for its antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. However, its benefits go beyond just immune support. Vitamin C also plays a key role in reducing inflammation throughout the body. It helps regulate the immune response, supports the function of white blood cells, and contributes to the repair of damaged tissues. By lowering levels of inflammatory markers and supporting overall immune balance, Vitamin C can be especially beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic inflammation or allergic reactions.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
NAC is derived from the amino acid L-cysteine. In addition to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, NAC is especially helpful due to its ability to thin and loosen mucus in the airways. By making mucus less thick and sticky, NAC helps clear the nasal passages and lungs, improving breathing and reducing sinus pressure.
Nettle Extract
Nettle extract derived from stinging nettle leaves has been used for centuries to treat various conditions. It acts as a natural antihistamine, with studies suggesting that compounds in nettle can block or inhibit histamine receptors and stop immune cells from releasing excess histamine.
Weighing Allergy Remedy Options
When selecting an allergy remedy, you may consider commercially available, over-the-counter medications, but side effects such as drowsiness may sway you toward natural remedies. Querca Max offers a holistic approach to allergy support with natural ingredients that are clinically shown to reduce seasonal allergy symptoms. Querca Max helps ease seasonal allergies by blocking histamine, reducing inflammation, and supporting a more balanced immune response, making it a natural, effective option for allergy relief without the side effects of over-the-counter medications.
When starting Querca Max supplementation, you can expect allergy symptoms to improve after approximately two weeks of continued use. If you have any questions, be sure to consult with your healthcare provider or contact KC Pro-Nutrients for pharmacist support. Our pharmacists are happy to answer any questions you may have through your health journey.
