Benefits

Seasonal allergy comfort

In a human randomized study, a perilla extract enriched for rosmarinic acid reduced symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis such as runny nose and itchy, watering eyes.

Nasal and eye comfort

Perilla rosmarinic acid is studied for calming the allergic response in the nose and eyes during pollen season.

Anti-inflammatory support

Rosmarinic acid calms the inflammatory cascade that drives allergy symptoms, offering a natural complement to allergy management.

Mechanism of action

1

Rosmarinic acid anti-allergic action

Rosmarinic acid inhibits the inflammatory mediators and immune signaling that produce allergic symptoms, reducing nasal and eye reactions.

2

Antioxidant support

Perilla polyphenols provide antioxidant support that helps temper the oxidative stress of an allergic flare.
