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 Protein complex that controls DNA transcription and is involved with cellular responses to stress, cytokines, free radicals, UV radiation, oxidized LDL, and infections. , 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 Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement., 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.
