Quail Eggs: Anti-Allergy
The substance inside the quail egg blocks certain enzymes, stopping the amplification of defence reactions against agents responsible for allergy.
A natural aid to fight allergies
Quail eggs contain ovomucoids which are glycoproteins found in the egg white.
Their actions against allergies, eczema and psoriasis have been known since the 1960s, but it was necessary to consume 6 eggs per day, which was not easy and could lead to an increase in cholesterol.
Ovomucoids inhibit the interactions of the allergen with white blood cells and thus moderate the production of histamine, thereby preventing unpleasant manifestations such as rhinitis, itchy eyes and other respiratory and skin symptoms.
The substance contained in the quail egg blocks serine protease enzymes and thus prevents the amplification of defence reactions against agents responsible for allergy.
Studies have shown both curative and preventive effects of quail eggs, alone or as a complement to an existing treatment against allergies to pollens, dust, feathers, hair and mites.
Quail eggs are now available in tablet form containing ovomucoids in a concentrated form.
They should be used without hesitation 1 month before the pollination season but also throughout the year in case of animal allergies, for example.
In case of a severe attack, the dosage can be significantly increased.
No side effects or habituation to the intake of quail eggs have been reported; they should be bitten and allowed to melt in the mouth.
According to the saying: "prevention is better than cure", do not hesitate to call on this natural ally before the appearance of the first symptoms.
