Baical skullcap and Reishi help to regulate T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2) balance. Baical skullcap also exerts an anti-allergic effect by regulating T cell-mediated responses including decreasing IgE and increasing IgG2.\u003cbr\u003eReduces intestinal permeability and inhibits allergen permeation. Baical skullcap, glutamine, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin D act upon tight junctions of intestinal epithelium. Baical Skullcap may attenuate a food allergic response by inhibiting allergen permeation.\u003cbr\u003eSymptomatic relief of allergies via anti-inflammatory and mast cell stabilising mechanisms. Alergenics contains Baical skullcap, Milk thistle and Reishi which inhibit the release of histamine from mast cells. In a randomised controlled trial, Perilla frutescens leaf extract was shown to suppress immunoglobulin response and inflammation in mild allergic rhinitis. Choline intake leads to an increase in membrane phosphatidyl choline and may be effective in relieving urticaria and allergic rhinitis symptoms. Vitamin D may also exert an anti-inflammatory effect due to suppressing the production of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), which may play an active role in allergic rhinitis.\u003cbr\u003eSupports detoxification processes. Detoxification processes may help to remove immunologically active material, which reduces the potential of immune reactions. Milk thistle helps the liver’s natural detoxification processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChildren 9 to 13 years: Add 1 level metric teaspoon (3.6 g) to 100 mL water twice daily with food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdults and children over 13 years: Add 2 level metric teaspoons (7.2 g) to 200 mL water twice daily with food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Holistic Health Invercargill","offers":[{"title":"202 grams","offer_id":42918985039953,"sku":null,"price":94.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/1047\/5857\/files\/D42F4EBF-7C62-45EB-8F51-0A89660B8ABB.webp?v=1755996166","url":"https:\/\/holistichealth.co.nz\/products\/metagenics-alergenics","provider":"Holistic Health Invercargill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
