Reishi’s tremendous immune-enhancing and physiological-regulating potency without negative side effects has gained much attention in western medicine. The Reishi in Lucidia is the highest quality and organically grown by experienced growers.

Stinging Nettles
Stinging nettles reduce allergy symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, itching, and watery eyes. Nettles minimize allergy discomfort by supplying compounds that inhibit the release of histamine, the inflammatory substance triggered by allergens.
The stinging nettles in Lucidia have been freeze-dried to preserve the potency of the active constituents in the plant’s leaves. Stinging nettles is one of natures best nutraceuticals, containing vitamins A, C, D, and B complex, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, and beta-carotene, all in a form that is easy for the body to use.

Quercetin
Quercetin is one of the most powerful antioxidant flavonoids around. Its functions include:

Fight free radicals damage
Maintain proper blood flow throughout the body
Suppress inflammation due to allergic reactions
Prevent allergic reactions as well as stop those already underway

Quercetin is typically used together with bromelain (ingredient listed below) where they have a synergistic effect in suppressing inflammation of allergic reactions. The presence of bromelain also helps to make quercetin more readily absorbed in the body.

Bromelain
Bromelain is an extract from the stems of pineapples that has an anti-inflammatory effect. It is often used in conjunction with quercetin, as they are synergistic in suppressing the inflammation of allergic reactions.
