Lycopene
Known for its high levels in tomatoes, lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that also decreases inflammation-promoting cytokines. Eosinophils, a type of white blood cell triggered by an allergic immune response, are also reduced by antioxidants, including and especially lycopene.
Lycopene is found in:
- Tomatoes (cooking increases lycopene levels)
- Pink fruits such as grapefruit, watermelon and guava
Bromelain
The enzyme bromelain is great at fighting inflammation and is often used along with quercetin. In terms of allergic rhinitis, bromelain can ease congestion and prevent sinus infections.
