Intro: Create a Better Allergy Solution-On Your Terms
Every spring and fall, allergy season kicks into high gear-and your customers are on the hunt for real relief.
But most over-the-counter products are packed with synthetic fillers and mystery ingredients that customers don’t want-and you wouldn’t want your name on.
That’s why more small wellness brands are taking control and creating their own capsule-based allergy formulas. You get full control over what goes in, how it’s dosed, and how it’s delivered. And your customers get something better: an allergy solution they can actually trust.
Proven Ingredients for Effective Allergy Support
Whether you’re formulating a single-ingredient capsule or a multi-ingredient stack, these are some of the most trusted ingredients for seasonal relief:
Quercetin
A naturally occurring antioxidant known to help with histamine response.
Nettle Leaf
A go-to botanical for easing sneezing, itchy eyes, and general inflammation.
Bromelain
An enzyme from pineapple that improves ingredient absorption and may support sinus health.
Vitamin C
Supports immune function and may help the body manage histamine levels.
Butterbur
Often used for headaches and respiratory issues during allergy season. (Note: only use PA-free extracts.)
These ingredients are familiar to health-conscious consumers and easy to integrate into capsule blends your customers will recognize-and trust.
Ingredient Pairing Tips for Allergy Relief
If you're building a multi-ingredient formula, here are some powerful pairings to consider:
Quercetin + Bromelain
Bromelain may enhance the availability of quercetin in the body, helping support seasonal comfort.
Nettle Leaf + Vitamin C
Nettle helps reduce inflammation, while vitamin C supports immune function for added relief.
Butterbur + Vitamin C or Quercetin
Butterbur is often paired with ingredients that support histamine balance for a well-rounded formula.
Reminder: Always source PA-free Butterbur extracts for safety and compliance.
How to Choose the Right Capsule Format
Once your formula is dialed in, choosing the right capsule is the next step. The format you choose affects everything from ease of use to production flow and customer satisfaction.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
Capsule Size
Size 000
Our largest option, great for high-dose formulas or bulkier ingredients.
Size 00
A go-to for multi-ingredient blends and herbal powders.
Size 0
Popular for most supplements; ideal balance of size and ease of swallowing.
Size 1
Slightly smaller than Size 0, suitable for lower-dose or concentrated blends.
Size 3
For very low-dose ingredients or pediatric use.
Size 4
Even smaller, often used for pet supplements or microdoses.
Size 5 The smallest available size; best for very minimal dosing or specialized use cases.
Sizes 0 and 00 remain the most common for small wellness brands due to their flexibility and customer familiarity.
