Allergies / Allergic Rhinitis Stack
spirulina kyolic aged garlic extract cs-4 mycelium (fermented cordyceps sinensis mycelium 0.3% adenosine) curcumin 95% ginger extract (5% gingerol)
Description
As a youth, I used to have very severe allergies. During the worst months of the year, my eyes would water constantly, my nose would drip to no end, and my throat would itch enough to require constant hawking, just for the relief of the itch. I haven't suffered from severe allergies for a couple of years now, and nowadays I rarely even find myself sneezing.
I am uncertain whether this is due to a more normalized immune functioning, mast cell stabilization, or an overall healthier microbiome - but regardless, I am happier and healthier as a result.

| Ingredient | Dosage | Frequency | Administration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spirulina | 6 gram | Daily | Taken any time of day. The taste on its own is bad, but in smoothies or tablet form it is completely unnoticeable. |
| Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract | 900 mg | twice daily | Taken with meals. |
| CS-4 Mycelium (Fermented cordyceps sinensis mycelium, 0.3% adenosine) | 3.5 gram | Daily | Taken any time of day, but preferably apart from caffeine for a possible adenosine - caffeine reduction in potency, but likely negligible. |
| Curcumin 95% | 500 mg | twice daily | Taken post-meal, as curcumin is fat soluble. |
| Ginger Extract (5% gingerol) | 500 mg | twice daily | Taken post-meal. |
For me black cumin seed oil and guduchi extract brought great improvements with seasonal rhinitis too. Though I take each of the 5 you recommend (not all at that high doses all the times though), they didn't do much in my case. Ascorbic acid in high doses remains the go to remedy against symptoms, when everything else fails.
I have some nigella sativa oil that I haven't gotten around to trying yet but it definitely seems promising based on the research. I have used a (counterfeit) bionase and another intranasal LLLt device, which I noticed nothing from. Maybe I didn't use it frequently enough to get results, but having a laser stuck up your nose for 15 minutes a day every day is less fun than it sounds.
I think the ginger and cordyceps are the most effective components of the stack, and the dosage for cordyceps is important IMO, considering the vast majority of clinical studies that achieved significance for respiratory health and exercise capacity were using somewhere in the region of ~3 grams.
I also drink a lot of sencha, I haven't seen much of anything to back it up, but I have a feeling that most types of catechins and egcg (and not just o-methylated catechins in benifuuki tea) have a favorable impact on allergies.
I'd add polypodium or it's extract; 20 hydroxyecdysone and black cumin seed oil.
