  1. 01
    Fish OilModerate
    72% match

    Omega-3 fatty acids dampen the inflammatory eicosanoid pathways that drive airway narrowing during exercise.

    SuggestedFish Oil providing about 3 g combined EPA and DHA daily
  2. 02
    Vitamin CLimited
    68% match

    Antioxidant vitamin C may blunt the oxidative and inflammatory response that contributes to exercise-triggered bronchoconstriction.

    SuggestedVitamin C, 500 to 1000 mg taken before exercise
  3. 03
    58% match

    Magnesium has a bronchodilatory effect on airway smooth muscle and adequate status is associated with better airway function.

    SuggestedMagnesium glycinate, 200 to 400 mg elemental daily
  4. 04
    Vitamin D3Limited
    50% match

    Vitamin D modulates airway inflammation and immune tone, and low levels are linked to poorer asthma and exercise airway control.

    SuggestedVitamin D3, 1000 to 2000 IU daily with food
  5. 05
    QuercetinLimited
    40% match

    Quercetin stabilizes mast cells and has antioxidant effects that may reduce exercise-related airway reactivity.

    SuggestedQuercetin, 500 mg once or twice daily
  6. 06
    NACLimited
    36% match

    N-acetylcysteine replenishes glutathione and may thin mucus and reduce oxidative stress in the airways.
