Ingredients
- Vitamin C – has many immune boosting properties, but is distinctively beneficial for individuals with seasonal discomfort because of its ability to deactivate histamine.
- Quercetin Dihydrate – biologically active flavonoid antioxidant that is widely distributed in plants including oak trees, onions and tea; Quercetin has strong antioxidant activity and has been shown to support immune health by mediating the release of inflammatory compounds.
- Stinging Nettle (leaves) – Urtica dioica, is a plant that has been shown to balance immune response, specifically in the airways and nasal passages; it controls mast-cell degranulation, prostaglandin formation, and histamine action all contributing to a balanced inflammatory response.
- Bromelain (from pineapple) – proteolytic enzyme that aids in in the breakdown of large protein complexes, including antigenic compounds, and has been shown to enhance the absorption of quercetin; shown to reduce circulating allergenic protein complexes associated with hyper-immune sensitivity and seasonal discomfort.
- N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine – (NAC) helps reduce the viscosity of the mucus allowing for clearing of the airways and improved respiratory health.
Does Not Contain: Wheat, gluten, soy, animal or dairy products, fish, shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners or preservatives.

I’ve been taking this for two months. I replaced a RX for Ketotifen that had to be compounded monthly, with this product . I had also taken plain quercetin in the past with poor results. I live with MCAS.

As I have MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) as well as histamine intolerance, I struggle with a variety of symptoms ever since I was little (I couldn’t jog outside in cold weather because cold temp would trigger MCAS and I’d be covered in hives, can’t smell perfume because that will not only make me feel nauseated but also instantly make my skin itchy, etc.). Even though I’ve learned how to cope with this over the years, there are times when I just can’t handle the amount of histamines in my system due to chronic stress (emotional and physical). I’ve had 3 major anaphylactic shocks and almost died… For this reason, I had to carry Epipen at all times. This product literally saved my life! It’s been a month since I started taking it 3 times a day and I can feel the difference because I don’t get hives as often as I used to. And I can sleep better because I have less histamine in my system. I’ve tried many other similar products but this is by far the best one, at least for me for sure! Thank you, Dr. Osborne! I can’t thank you enough!!

I had really hoped this product would help me with a horrible cough I get this time of year. I usually take Zyrtec to fight it off, but I would much rather use something natural. I took it as directed 3 times a day for 1 week and saw little to no results with the cough. I understand it really works well for some people. Sadly I was not one of them. I had to stop taking it after 1 week due to the bowel distress I started having. I think it irritated my system. I would send it back for a refund if I could, but they don’t take back open products. If you try it, I wish you the best, but it didn’t work for me.

I always deal with pesky spring allergy symptoms, but this spring I didn’t want to have them acting up with the COVID19 pandemic danger. Hist Assist has prevented the rhinitis that happens every year along with inflamed eyes and itchy throat and ears. I feel just a little safer in that my nasal passages won’t be all hot and bothered as I stay indoors to help flatten the curve of the virus.

I used to wake up in the morning with a literal mountain of Kleenex next to my pillow. Now, I take 2 caps before bed and only need 1 or 2 tissues before the morning.

While suffering from terrible allergies this year, I decided to give Hist Assist a try. I sure am glad I did as it definitely worked! So nice to have a safe, natural solution that works this well for allergies.

I have been taking this for about a month. Lately the pollen count is high. Every year during this time, I’m usually miserable. I would sneeze 4 or 5 times in a row and several times a day. I would have red watery eyes. A couple days ago, I only sneezed twice. And I didn’t sneeze any today. A little while ago when it was on sale I bought three more bottles.

I haven’t used this on a regular basis yet, but I have taken it on occasions when I’ve eaten food that has triggered congestion, and the congestion went away. Worked as I had hoped!

I just recently started taking these products. Great results so far. Have not been diagnosed with allergies but have sinus issues typically early morning. Dr. Prescribed Fluticasone Propionate which I used once until I researched the side effects. Hist Assist & Ultra NAC have provided excellent results from day one.

I have had a problem with hives for over 3 years and have used many allergy drugs. The Hist Assist has calmed them down and am so much less itchy and not having to take allergy drugs. I also sleep better because I’m not having intense itching at night. Thank you thank you, thank you.

I use this in conjunction with another allergy asthma med at bedtime and an Advair inhaler.
Just today, the breezes coming thru the window were generating sneezes & congestion.
Took Hist Assist & went outdoors an hour later with NO allergy symptoms!
Thank you!

My husband constantly blew his nose, cleared his throat and more and so I had him try this as nothing else worked and we avoid OTC’s He was skeptical, but said he was noticing a difference so I bought more and it’s helping! He’s a histamine factory!

After dealing with allergies for over a month once the harvest began, I could not get them controlled even with allergy medications. Within 24 hours of taking hist assist as directed my allergies were non-existent and haven’t flared up since.

I have such a hard time with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and histamine reactions.
Some get pretty serious, and I’ve ended up in the ER twice with severe anaphalaxis. The ER Dr told me at my last visit that I had already started to die. He warned me that anything I put in my body could kill me. Hist Assist has helped me so many times in calming down, or preventing a histamine reaction, and it works fast. Usually my symptoms will go away within 10-15 minutes. Can’t say enough good about it. I am so thankful for Hist Assist.
