Imagine waking up on a perfect spring day... but instead of enjoying it, you’re trapped indoors, sneezing uncontrollably, eyes streaming, throat tight, feeling utterly miserable.

If you or someone in your household deals with seasonal allergies, hay fever, asthma flare-ups, or itchy eczema, you know just how exhausting and frustrating it can be. Allergies happen when your immune system overreacts to everyday substances like dust mites, pets, pollen, mould, certain foods, or medications. The good news is that your body already knows how to self-regulate—it sometimes just needs the right support. 

That’s exactly what the carefully chosen ingredients in Alergenics are designed to do. They don’t just mask symptoms; they work deeper, helping soothe the immune overreaction that drives sneezing, wheezing, itching, and inflammation. With allergies affecting around 1 in 5 people, and experts predicting that rates in Australia could rise by as much as 70% by 2050,¹ supporting the immune system is essential. In this article, you’ll discover seven key nutrients that help calm an overactive immune system.  

Your immune system works best when it’s in balance, and the right nutrients can help keep it that way. When key nutrients are missing, your immune response can go into overdrive. Here are three essentials that support a calm, balanced immune system:

Vitamin D is like sunshine for your immune system; it helps keep things calm and balanced. Research shows it can make a real difference: one meta-analysis found that vitamin D supplements reduced asthma attacks and cut hospital visits in half for both kids and adults.² Another large study showed that people with eczema saw their scores drop by 11 points on a 100-point scale after adding vitamin D.³  In short, this nutrient helps your immune cells grow strong without going into overdrive.

Zinc isn’t just good for immunity; it can help soothe eczema, too. In kids with eczema, zinc supplements improved skin strength and eased itching, showing how it helps calm an overactive immune response.⁴ And then there’s choline, which has shown promise for asthma. Research found it lowered histamine and other markers of allergic inflammation, while even improving breathing in people who rely on inhalers.⁵

Even with a balanced diet, it can be challenging to get enough of certain key nutrients that support immune and allergy health. Nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and choline are found in foods such as oysters, eggs, and high-quality animal products—but research shows many people still fall short. For instance, after winter, about 36% of Australians are low in vitamin D, while inadequate zinc can affect 5–50% of people depending on age and gender, and fewer than 4% get enough choline.^6-8 

Alergenics provides children over 9 years and adults with research-backed doses of key nutrients to help meet their needs and support allergy symptoms. In addition to these nutrients, medicinal plant extracts also offer natural support to further ease allergy symptoms

Perilla fruit is known for its strong anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy effects. Research shows it can noticeably ease itchy eyes and runny noses from seasonal allergies within 3 weeks, even during peak pollen season.¹³,¹⁴ Milk thistle can help too; studies suggest that taking silymarin alongside antihistamines can significantly reduce allergy symptoms.¹⁵

By combining research-backed nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, choline, Reishi, Shiitake, Perilla, and Milk Thistle, supplements like Alergenics Powder can provide a gentle, natural way to help regulate an overactive immune system and ease mild allergy symptoms. These ingredients work together to:
