Inflammation Support
Inflammation can have both positive and negative health effects. Acute inflammation works with the immune system to address infectious and non-infectious cellular damage (1). However, when inflammation becomes chronic, it can have a critical impact on your health. Numerous studies have shown a correlation between chronic inflammation and all-cause, cancer, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular mortality (2-3)

Probiotics- MegaSporeBiotic
Recommended Dose: 1.6 × 109 CFU, total per day, minimum 8 weeks (8-9)
-
MegaSporeBiotic™ is a 100% spore-based, broad-spectrum probiotic shown to maintain healthy gut barrier function.
-
This unique all-spore formula effectively RECONDITIONS the gut by promoting microbial diversity and maintaining key health-promoting, commensal gut bacteria.
-

Quercetin
Recommended Dose: ≥ 500 mg, total per day, minimum of 8 weeks (10-12)
Quercetin has been shown to be one of the most useful and physiologically active flavonoids. Quercetin helps support stable mast cells to promote healthy inflammatory balance. This potent bioflavonoid can be used for maintaining or supporting the proper levels of enzymes and physiologic factors necessary for normal respiratory and sinus health, to help support seasonal respiratory challenges.
