Fisetin Reduces Asthma-Related Inflammation

Animal and cell studies show that fisetin may be another natural strategy to help combat asthma.  Researchers found that fisetin could reduce lung inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness.

Fisetin was able to modulate the core inflammatory gene signal, NF-kappaB , to reduce excessive inappropriate inflammatory behavior relating to the lungs.  Fisetin actually promoted balance in the immune system, reducing the excessive T Helper 2 response that is typically overactive in asthma patients.

We already know that B vitamins, quercetin, magnesium, vitamin C, DHA, friendly flora, and vitamin D can all help asthma.  It never hurts to have yet another nutrient that can lend support, considering there is an asthma epidemic in our children who are being treated with drugs that don’t solve the source of their problems and barely manage their symptoms.
