Allergies
An allergy is a response by the body's immune system to a substance that is not normally considered harmful. Sometimes your immune system identifies an allergen as an invader and the white blood cells may do more harm to the body than to the allergy substance. Common allergic responses are coughing, nasal congestion, itching, fatigue, skin rashes, headache, and hives. Many people are allergic to molds that are very common around the home, workplace, or wherever. Foods are another common source of allergies,  especially, milk, wheat, and even orange juice.
Nutrient / Supplement   Helpful Notes

Bee Pollen

   Bee pollen helps strengthen your immune system often weakened by allergy problems.
Calcium   This mineral helps people with allergies with the stress caused to the body by allergic reaction. See also magnesium.
Magnesium   Helps reduces body stress and is needed to balance out calcium. A good natural multi-vitamin and mineral supplement will have both, and maybe even some bee pollen.
B Vitamins   B vitamins are very important for the proper function of your brain and nervous system. Supplements with natural vitamin B can help with depression. B vitamins also help with digestion and allergy problems.
Carotenoids   Allergy sufferers normally need immune help and carotenoids are free radical scavengers that help stimulate the immune system. Supplements made from fruits and vegetables are a good source of carotenoids.
Bioflavonoids   Protects the body from allergens and helps to moderate inflammatory responses by the body of the person with allergies. Supplements made from fruits and vegetables are a good source of bioflavonoids.
Reishi   Reishi mushroom is a powerful immune system builder and works well in an herbal mixture with echinacea and other immunity-type herbs.
Zinc   People with allergies may not be getting enough zinc. Often a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement or a good immune system building formula can help.
Potassium   Needed for good adrenal gland function.
