A WHILE BACK I MENTIONED THAT I WAS STARTING QUERCETIN AS AN ANTI-AGING SUPPLEMENT, but I’ve noticed an additional side-effect: It’s made my allergies better. In fact, I went several weeks without taking a sudafed — unheard of during peak East Tennessee allergy season, when pollen stalks the earth like zombies in a horror movie, with similar effect — and only took one the other day when I had forgotten to pack it for Nashville. I knew that some people take it for allergies, but didn’t really think about that until I noticed that mine were getting inexplicably better. And their return upon missing a dose suggests that it really does do some good, at least in my case.
