Hi, I also suffer from chronic cold related hives and I'm tired of being drowsey from traditional medicine which only helps a little. So I did some research and am now trying a combination of Butterbur-Quercetin-grapeseed extract and vitimin C. It is said to work like Zyrtec. I'm on day 2 with the vitamins with no relief. I dont know if I'm taking the right dosage. Well good luck! If you find a mg dosage that works please post it.

Yes, quercetin works to a great extent if you take large amounts of it. 3,000 mg to 4,000 mgs 3 to 4 times a day combined with the others and 500 mgs of Bromelain to help assimilate it and decrease inflammation.

Hi

Quercetin is a phytochemical (a bioflavinoid) present in the coloured skin of apples and red onions. It has powerful antioxidant, anti-histamine, and anti-inflammatory action. Research has shown it to be useful for allergic conditions, asthma, hay fever, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus. It is also used in diabetes and cancer.

Quercetin inhibits the production and release of histamine and other allergic/inflammatory substances. Histamine is a substance that is responsible for the allergic symptoms in the body. It can be taken in natural form by consuming apples and red onions and is also available as a dietary supplement.

You may discuss this with your healthcare provider for dosage and other instructions.
Take care
