Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How long does one bottle last?

At 2 capsules twice daily, a 120-count bottle lasts 30 days.

2. Why combine quercetin with bromelain?

Bromelain:

• Boosts quercetin absorption by 200%.
• Breaks down inflammatory compounds (e.g., fibrin) that quercetin targets.
  Synergy = 3x greater anti-inflammatory effect vs. either alone.

3. Can it replace antihistamines?

No, but it may reduce reliance on them for mild allergies. Severe cases require medical treatment.

4. Is it safe for diabetics?

Yes. Quercetin improves insulin sensitivity, but monitor blood sugar if on diabetes meds.

5. How does this benefit Kenyan users?

• Allergy Season: Counters pollen/dust allergies (common in Rift Valley/high-altitude areas).
• Pollution Defense: Neutralizes free radicals from Nairobi’s air pollution.
• Joint Health: Supports farmers/laborers with repetitive-motion inflammation.

6. Can children use this?

Not recommended for under 12. Pediatric dosing requires medical guidance.

7. Does it interact with malaria meds?

Potentially yes. Avoid with artemisinin-based therapies (bromelain may alter drug metabolism). Consult a doctor.

8. Can I open the capsule?

Yes. Mix powder with honey or smoothies if swallowing capsules is difficult.

Who Can Benefit?

• Individuals with seasonal allergies, sinusitis, or asthma.
• Adults experiencing joint pain, arthritis, or post-exercise inflammation.
• Those exposed to high pollution/UV radiation (e.g., urban workers, farmers).
• People seeking natural immune support during cold/flu seasons.
• Anyone with poor quercetin absorption (e.g., low-fat diets).
