31-Jan-2017

Key points from article :

In various studies quercetin has demonstrated antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic properties.

Quercetin is naturally found in some fruit and vegetables such as apples, onions and dark cherries.

But to get a typical dose (around 500mg) used for health purposes would mean eating at least fifty apples a day!

Quercetin is a naturally occurring member of the flavonoid family – a large family of water-soluble chemicals, which are not created by the body

Isoquercetin has the same benefits as regular quercetin has but has better bioavailability and absorption by the body.
