Free radicals play a big role in inducing bronchoconstriction and elevating mucus secretion in asthmatic. For this reason, it is a good idea if you have asthma to build up your use of antioxidants. Two antioxidants that are necessary for reducing asthmatic conditions are selenium and Glutathione.

The other important antioxidants and minerals for asthma are vitamin C, vitamin E, magnesium, B12, B6, quercetin

Vitamin C is important is reducing asthma attacks. It is able to stop bronchial constriction and reduce histamine production and release. It also helps to lower histamine levels, after histamine is released into the blood. So take between 2000 mg to 4000 mg per day. Spread them out to 3 times per day with each meal. Use Ester C if other Vitamin C supplements give you stomach problems.

If you have diarrhea when taking vitamin C, just back off on the amount you are taking, until you have no more diarrhea.

Taking antioxidant nutrients is also good, since they help to protect from free radical damage and irritation. Take 400 IU of vitamin E and 10,000 IU of beta-carotene. One study showed that pregnant women who were low on vitamin E had children that were more susceptible to asthma.

Take a supplement of magnesium or get it in foods such as whole grains, or seafood. Use around 400 mg of magnesium aspartate twice a day.

Vitamin B12 has been found to be essential in relieving childhood asthma. In clinical trails injections of 1000 ug of B12 created improvement in patients with asthma. B12 is most helpful in people with sulphite sensitivities. Taking B12 capsules would be helpful prior to any meal.

Vitamin B6 has also been found to reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks and wheezing. By taking the B100’s you can get all of the B vitamins. Take 50 milligrams two times a day.

Quercetin is a flavonoid. A flavonoid is the chemical in fruits and flowers that gives them their color. Quercetin has a high activity against asthma and acts somewhat similar to the drug Cromolyn. What quercetin does is block the release of histamine from “mast cells.” When it does this, it substantially reduces the irritation and inflammation reaction to allergens.

Also, quercetin blocks another inflammatory substance that is release by the “mast cells” called leukotriene. This substance is a thousand times more powerful and harmful than histamine.

Since the body does not readily absorb quercetin, it is best to take it with bromelain to improve its absorption. Here’s where to get this combination:

Quercetin Bromelain

Quercetin twice a day at 300mg

N-acetylcysteine is a powerful nutrient that has antioxidant properties and replaces used up, unhealthy cells with new, healthy ones. It helps produce Glutathione in the liver and give the immune system a boost.

N-acetylcysteine helps to control mucus and this is of great benefit to people with asthma. It is recommended that you take N-acetylcysteine twice a day at 500 mg. Because, this is an amino acid, do not use it for more than a month. After that, if you use it take a balance amino complex. Amino acids should be taken in a balanced formula.

For asthma an important supplementation is to choose a high-level antioxidant formula. If you cannot find this formula, then you may have to take individual nutrients to make sure you control your asthma.
