Green Tea Extract is one of the substances with several historical beneficial effects on various disorders such as cancer, metabolic diseases, and inflammation. In CD4+ T cells, it appears that EGCG is a powerful regulator of Ca2+ signaling by miRNA expression and, thus, by modification of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.

Astragalus possesses pharmacological effects that are anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour, anti-oxidant, anti-allergic, and anti-diabetic. Astragalus isoflavones also exhibit antiviral, oestrogen-like, antibacterial, hepatoprotective, and immune-enhancing effects. Wang P, Wang Z, Zhang Z, Cao H, Kong L, Ma W, Ren W.

Quercetin is a great representative of polyphenols, flavonoids subgroup, flavonols. Quercetin is known for its antioxidant activity in radical scavenging and anti-allergic properties characterised by stimulation of immune system, antiviral activity, inhibition of histamine release, decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines, leukotrienes creation, and suppresses interleukin IL-4 production. It can improve the Th1/Th2 balance, and restrain antigen-specific IgE antibody formation. Mlcek J, Jurikova T, Skrovankova S, Sochor J. Quercetin and Its Anti-Allergic Immune Response.
