Health Tip: TruQuercetin 20X Plus – Designed for Respiratory Challenges. Relief and much more!
Respiratory system challenges may be seasonal in some individuals or year-round in others. In many cases, individuals experience multiple symptoms such as a cough, shortness of breath, congestion, sore throat, and fatigue. More severe signs may involve wheezing, chest pain, and producing mucus that can be green, yellow, or blood tinged. Such constellations may have various causes, including antigen or microorganism exposure, histamine activity, or immune reactivity.
TruQuercetin™ 20X Plus provides a complex of active ingredients that may help the body balance immune-related responses, oxidative stress levels, and the associated respiratory symptoms. What makes TruQuercetin 20X Plus so unique is the powerful combination of highly available quercetin with the complementary actions of NAC, Nettle extract and Vitamin C. This combination has been found to be extremely helpful in combating viral infections, including those we experienced with SARS CoV2 and may experience from similar threats. I considering TruQuercetin™ 20X Plus for anyone experiencing long covid symptoms as this blend helps to combat many of the classes of damage we see from Covid 19 illness and shot injury. As always, talk with your personal physician before you add supplements in case there are conflicts with existing medications in your situation.
So let’s take a look at the science behind these beneficial Ingredients:
Quercetin is a popular supplement, often used in combination with other plant extracts in supplement formulations for a variety of conditions due to its powerful antioxidant properties and immunomodulatory effects. Quercetin is one of the most common and well-researched micronutrients in the flavonoid class of polyphenols. It is found naturally in onions, apples, citrus fruits, berries, cruciferous vegetables, nuts, wine, black and green tea, and is also found in ginko biloba, a popular medicinal plant.
Potential health benefits of quercetin include:
- fighting free radicals
- reducing inflammation
- reducing cancer risk
- reducing the risk of neurological diseases
- reducing the risk of infections
- reducing the risk of heart disease
- lowering blood pressure
- relieving allergies and respiratory challenges
TruQuercetin 20X Plus contains Quercetin Phytosome® (Quercefit®) Quercetin, like many other flavonoids, has relatively poor absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, causing limited bioavailability. Quercetin Phytosome is considered a superior form of quercetin because of its increased bioavailability compared with standard quercetin. Phytosome technology works by connecting botanicals like quercetin with phospholipids to improve solubility and enhance absorption and bioavailability by the body, which is important for efficacy. A clinical study evaluating the absorption of Quercetin Phytosome over unformulated quercetin in healthy volunteers found the maximum serum
concentration of Quercetin Phytosome was approximately 20-fold higher.
The respiratory-immune benefits of Quercetin Phytosome were studied in Japanese adults with eye and nose discomfort using rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire scores and other tests. Over the course of 4 weeks, those consuming 200 mg/d of Quercetin Phytosome experienced significant subjective improvements in sleep and severity of symptoms, such as sneezing, ocular itching, and runny nose, compared with the placebo group. Another study also demonstrated the benefits of Quercetin Phytosome in individuals with early-stage respiratory illness. In addition to standard care, subjects taking doses of 500 to 1500 mg/d of Quercetin Phytosome demonstrated better clearance, improved resolution of acute symptoms, reduced illness progression, and reduced serum inflammatory biomarker levels compared with those receiving standard care alone.
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
Oxidative stress and the interrelated production of inflammatory cytokines are thought to play a significant role in propagating respiratory symptoms in immune-reactive pathways. NAC has direct antioxidant activities and is a precursor to glutathione biosynthesis which is helpful in addressing the low glutathione levels associated with oxidative stress and implicated in immune dysregulation. It is thought that replenishing antioxidants may be critical in normalizing immune function and may prove beneficial in the treatment and prevention of SARS-Cov-2. NAC is also a mucolytic agent that decreases mucus viscosity and facilitates its clearance. And for those with environmental hypersensitivity, an animal model showed that NAC reduced lung oxidative stress, improved lung glutathione status, reduced inflammatory transcription factor activity, and decreased airway hyperresponsiveness.
Nettle Extract (Urtica dioica and/or Urtica urens)
Nettles have been used as a natural remedy for 2,000 years, and modern scientists have been working to validate its historical use and elucidate mechanisms of action. Nettle leaves provide many active components, such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, organic acids, and vitamins, as well as volatile compounds like fatty acids and polysaccharides. In vitro testing demonstrated that an extract of nettle leaves inhibited the following: histamine-1 receptors; tryptase, which influences mast cell degranulation; prostaglandin D2 production; and COX1 and COX2 activity. In a double-blind, randomized study, subjects (n = 69) were given 300-mg capsules of freeze-dried nettle or placebo and instructed to take 2 capsules at the onset of seasonal allergy symptoms and then ad libitum. The daily dose ranged from 1 to 7, with a mean of 2.8 doses (300 mg per dose). Overall, 58% of subjects rated nettle moderately effective or better compared with only 37% for placebo.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps scavenge free radicals from oxidative stress, has essential roles in immune system function and assists in quercetin recycling. The coadministration of quercetin and vitamin C imparts complementary immunomodulatory effects. In addition, we know that oxidative stress may contribute to negative
biological impacts on airways, and it has been observed that low vitamin C levels have been found in environmentally hypersensitive individuals and those facing other respiratory challenges. As you can see, TruQuercetin™ 20X Plus is a unique complex that combines research-based technology with traditional antioxidant ingredients to confer optimal health benefits. The components of TruQuercetin 20X Plus were selected to work synergistically for optimal relief of respiratory system challenges, and robustly support the respiratory system and its organs, including nasal passages, through complementary mechanisms of action.
TruQuercetin 20X Plus is a great supplement to keep on hand for when you do experience respiratory symptoms or better yet taken regularly to help prevent them. As always, talk with your personal physician before you add supplements in case there are conflicts with existing medications in your situation.
To Your Good Health,
