Allergies are characterized by the excess proliferation of immune responder cells in the bloodstream and nasal fluids.1 This enormous influx of responder cells to the airways and nasal passages produces the congestion, fluid outpouring and swelling that allergy sufferers find so debilitating. While traditional antihistamines lessen some of these symptoms by preventing the release of histamine from mast cells or

blocking histamine receptor sites, they do nothing to prevent the excess activation or proliferation of immune responder cells.2

Rosmarinic acid extract is a new herbal product and alternative to painful allergy shots and medicine that provide only partial relief from allergic symptoms. Rosmarinic acid, a plant polyphenol derived from rosemary leaf, provides effective, temporary relief of allergy symptoms. Unlike antihistamines, rosmarinic acid both prevents the activation of immune responder cells and kills excess allergy-activated immune cells.

The Rosmarinic Acid Extract formula also contains perilla leaf extract. In a landmark study, scientists demonstrated that perilla leaf enriched with rosmarinic acid provided significant relief from seasonal allergies by inhibiting polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltration into the nostrils.3 In addition, the Rosmarinic Acid Extract formula includes luteolin, another plant flavonoid that has been shown to maintain normal respiratory function and healthy fluid balance.4

With ingredients that both act as antihistamines and restrict the activation and proliferation of allergy-related responder cells, Rosmarinic Acid Extract stops allergy miseries at their source.
