Stop Allergies Before They Start

Michael Ventresca • June 28, 2022

Years ago, I remember seeing a commercial for an allergy drug. In the video a rather suave bee is talking romantically to a flower only to sneeze himself away. While I can’t say I’ve had that exact experience, I certainly know people who are really bothered by allergies. I’m sure you do too. 


In fact, more than 40 million Americans suffer from seasonal or perennial airborne allergies caused by an overactive immune system. Like the bee in the commercial, many turn to medications for relief. The problem is these drugs can cause side effects such as nervousness, fatigue, headache and drowsiness.


Are there natural options for allergy sufferers? Yes! According to research, a bio-flavonoid called quercetin can act as a natural antihistamine without side effects. Quercetin appears to be especially effective when combined with bromelain (an anti-inflammatory from pineapple) and vitamin C.


With that said, one product that really stands out for allergy sufferers is All Season Support. More than 10 years in the making, All Season Support (once sold as Aller-7) combines quercetin, bromelain and vitamin C with an extensively researched, patented blend of seven herbs clinically proven to promote respiratory health and normal breathing seasonally and all year around. Numerous clinical and sub-clinical studies have validated its safety, effectiveness, and tolerability.


In short, All Season Support works by promoting a healthy immune response without any of the side-effects associated with over-the-counter allergy products. While it is best taken as a preventive before allergy season is in full swing, All Season Support can also be taken to help reduce allergy symptoms. While many people experience some benefit within the first couple doses, researchers noted full benefit often occurred after consistent use for 8-10 weeks. In fact, I recently received a call from a customer who told me after two months on All Season Support, he was able to stop taking two different allergy medications.

When water isn’t enough

By Michael Ventresca • April 15, 2026
Hydration depends on having the right balance of minerals inside and outside your cells, so water moves where it is needed. Without them, water can pass through the body without fully hydrating the tissues.

Getting ahead of allergies

For many, allergy season doesn’t begin with sneezing. It starts with sinus pressure, headaches and post-nasal drip. By the time classic allergy symptoms show up, the immune system has often been reacting for weeks.

Why I Switched My Multivitamin

By Michael Ventresca • July 7, 2025
Over the years, I’ve tried just about every type of multivitamin out there: tablets, capsules, raw food blends, fermented formulas, you name it. And while many are a clear step above your big-box brands, it’s rare I come across one that actually makes me want to switch. Recently, I started taking the True Grace 50+ Multi , and I’ve been genuinely impressed. First, it checks all the right boxes for me. It’s made with fermented, whole-food-based nutrients that are easier on the stomach and better absorbed. It’s free of synthetic fillers, artificial colors, GMOs, and gluten. What makes this formula stand out is what it offers beyond the basics. This isn’t just another multivitamin with the usual laundry list of nutrients. True Grace 50+ is designed with targeted support for four key areas of healthy aging. You’ll find Lion’s Mane mushroom for brain health, CoQ10 for heart and cellular energy, and MenaQ7 (a patented form of vitamin K2 ) to guide calcium to the bones instead of the arteries. It also includes antioxidants to support long-term vision, which is a growing concern for many of us over 50. What really caught my attention, though, is ergothioneine , a naturally occurring amino acid often referred to as the “longevity vitamin.” It helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports brain, heart, and skin health. Most multivitamins leave it out entirely or include only a token amount. This formula delivers a full 5 mg per serving, a dose that actually makes a difference. While the 50+ formula is what I personally use, True Grace offers a full line including Men’s and Women’s core multis , 40+ versions , plus a prenatal for moms-to-be. All with the same focus on clean, effective nutrition. Do I still believe in other whole-food-based multis? Absolutely. But this is the first time in a long while I’ve actually made a switch. And I’m glad I did. Mike Ventresca is the owner of Vital Choice Health Store located at 9243 Sprague Road in North Royalton’s Timber Ridge Plaza.
