The primary task of our immune system is to distinguish harmless substances (such as pollen or animal hair) from harmful substances (such as bacteria and viruses) and to react appropriately.
In an allergic reaction, the defense system misjudges the situation: it reacts to allergens. In order to get these excessive or misdirected metabolic reactions under control, the body needs above all vitamin C, vitamin B6 and zinc. Why? Because these micronutrients can break down the messenger substance that causes acute allergic symptoms: histamine. Nutrients and also plant adaptogens (such as Astragalus membranaceus / gum tragacanth) additionally correct the immune system to be able to react adequately to foreign substances again. In studies, the anti-allergic effect of gum tragacanth has been clinically proven.
