Hello, I have once had astmah when I was a kid but now I have pretty much grew out of it just have allergies (seasonal) I have a 2 month bottle of factor advanced since this is a inflammation supplement I was wondering if I could take it or maybe bring back what I once had ?
I responded to a similar question to this a while back:
Different arachidonic acid metabolites can act as both bronchodilators (PGe2 PGi2) and bronchoconstrictors (PGd2 and Leukotrienes)
As asthma hypersensitivity responses and precipitants are variable and sometimes idiosyncratic- it would be difficult to determine your response.
Have you ever suffered asthma symptoms after taking an NSAID anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen or diclofenac? If so I would err on the side of caution and potentially take a small dose of AA (maybe 250mg) and keep your reliever puffer handy.
You could also use a mast cell stabilising puffer such as nedocromil or sodium cromoglycate prior to taking the AA and exercising- in theory this should mitigate the release of the bronchoconstrictive metabolites in the airways- however once again I would try this with a smaller dose first.
