Seven Forests Quercenol is a Chinese herbal remedy for immune system support, allergies, and liver disorders. This is an excellent formula for animals with chronic itchy skin, paws or ears due to allergies and those that have been treated with prednisone and/or antibiotics repeatedly.  Quercenol is also quite useful for cancer prevention, treatment of liver inflamation, chronic illness, and for geriatric animals needing immune support.

This formulation combines some of the best known and most intensively researched antioxidant compounds from nature. Each one is provided in a dosage that is in the range considered effective by modern research efforts.

The dosage of silymarin (milk thistle extract) is high enough to be therapeutic.  Mixed carotenoids have been used in place of beta carotene to provide a natural blend; natural vitamin E has been used (as with all White Tiger formulas containing vitamin E); and vitamin C is in the calcium ascorbate form (providing valuable calcium and protecting against stomach irritation). Quercetin, proanthocyanidins (from grape seed), and green tea polyphenols are among the most active of the antioxidants; they protect the liver from inflammatory processes, inhibit neoplastic transformation of cells, and reduce viral activity. 84 tablets.

A few things to keep in mind when using herbal remedies:

• Herbs take time to build in the system, so do not expect immediate results.  It can take from several days up to a week or more to know if the herbal remedy is effective depending upon the severity of the issue being treated and the overall vitality of the animal.
  More frequent dosage – say 3 times per day, is typically more effective than a large dose once per day.  The herbs need to remain and build in the animal’s system.
• Suggested dosages may need to be adjusted depending on the individual’s response.  If vomiting, diarrhea or other signs of intolerance occur; a remedy should be stopped for two days, and then ½ the original dose can be administered to see if the lower dose can be tolerated.  If the animal does not respond to the initial dose, a larger dose may be necessary.  A VERY GRADUAL increase to up to 50% above the original dose can be tried to see if results are improved.  This should be done with the guidance of a trained veterinarian or with a good knowledge of the herbs you are using.
• Begin only one remedy or medication of any kind at a time.  Do not add another remedy until you have well established if there is a response or are signs of intolerance from any other remedy being used.  (Unless you are working with a holistic veterinarian familiar with the remedies prescribed).
• Herbs and natural remedies work best on an individual whose system is given the best possible conditions for health and healing including the healthiest and freshest diet possible along with proper nutritional and digestive supplements such as digestive enzymes, essential fatty acids and adequate levels of essential vitamins and minerals.
• Check with a knowledgeable veterinarian if your companion is on any conventional medications that herbal remedies could interact with.

Please keep in mind that response to herbal remedies varies by individual. If your pets symptoms worsen or change in any way that concerns you, discontinue use of any supplements and contact your veterinarian.

When introducing any new supplement, it is wise to start with a lower than recommended dose and build up over the course of several days to a week. Only introduce one supplement at a time.
