Most often when seasonal allergies strike, we reach for the Claritin or the Allegra, but you can save yourself a trip to the pharmacy with these natural allergy-busters. If possible, get a jump on allergies by starting supplementation early, before symptoms begin. With the right intervention, you can stop the allergic cascade before it gets out of control.
Xlear with added capsicum for allergy relief: Bacteria and fungi that colonize the nasal passage and hide in biofilms are recognized as foreign invaders; their presence triggers chronic hyper-activation of the cells lining the respiratory tract. Xylitol in Xlear nasal spray inhibits microbes and dissolves biofilms, resulting in clearance of mucus. (Spray in each nostril every 4-6 hours as needed.)

BreatheClear® with NTFactor®: This great concept teams allergy-fighting bioflavonoids with NTFactor®, which the latest research shows boosts bio-availability. (Take two, as needed.) (Not currently available via Fullscript—use the link above to shop directly with NTFactor®.)
NAC: In Europe, it’s a prescription medicine, used for reducing congestion and for thinning tenacious mucus. It’s also a precursor of glutathione, the body’s premier antioxidant. (Take one, twice daily.)

Butterbur (Petadolex): Also a popular migraine remedy, good research supports its anti-leukotriene effects. European studies have shown it to be as effective as the popular allergy drug Zyrtec. (Take one, three to four times daily as needed for the first three or four weeks, then taper to twice daily for maintenance.)
Pycnogenol: One of the more well-studied of the natural bioflavonoids, this extract of French maritime pine bark was found to relieve allergic rhinitis symptoms. (Take two capsules, one to three times daily.)
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane): May block allergic reactions at the tissue level. (Take one capsule, three times daily.)
