Quercetin 500 Plus

Barcode:

Quercetin (or quercetine) is an important member of a class of naturally occurring plant pigments known as flavonoids. The distinctive red color of some wines, onions, and apples is due to the presence of quercetin. The latter two are particularly rich sources of the compound, as is black and green tea. It is also interesting that quercetin serves as a basic building block for many other members of the flavonoid family. The main claims for quercetin's health benefits are centered on its powerful antioxidant, anti-histamine, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Along with other antioxidants, quercetin fights the damaging free radical molecules that are a major cause of cancer, aging, and degenerative disease in modern Western societies. Several population studies have linked a high intake of quercetin and other flavonoids to a reduced risk of several types of cancer. One study showed that people who ate the most apples had a 58% reduced risk of lung cancer compared to those who ate the least apples. Research evidence published in Surgery in 2002 showed that the antioxidant activity of quercetin reduces the build up of a key component of atherosclerosis. This supports the findings of a large scale Dutch study of 5,000 adults which linked a high flavonoid intake with a reduced heart attack risk.
