Quercetin is considered one of the most active polyphenols among the flavonoids. Also known as bioflavonoids, they are the basis of plant metabolism. They are ubiquitous in the vegetative and floral organs of some plants and are what make up the color pigments of petals and plants.
In a broader sense, bioflavonoids are present to fight against the stress that plants can experience while being in nature. They are excellent means against a nutritional deficiency, the natural defense against insects, exposure to cold and/or injuries they may suffer.
How is quercetin good for me?
Over the years and the many studies that have been conducted on quercetin, researchers have found several beneficial effects in humans. The compounds found in it have demonstrated antibacterial, antiviral, anti-allergic and antioxidant properties. Quercetin is also known to have anti-inflammatory effects in some people.
Can I consume it without taking natural supplements?
Yes. Quercetin is found in several foods but at a lower dosage. As for example in capers, red onions, shallots, red apples, berries, grapes, citrus fruits and many other fruits and vegetables. However, if we want to give a maximum intake of quercetin to our metabolism, it is ideal to consume it in natural supplements.
Which supplement should I favor for good health?
Although there are several quercetin supplements on the market, they do not all contain the same concentration and they are not all absorbed equally easily by the human body. There is a supplement with a 10x higher absorption rate than other known forms and that is Natural Factors with Quercetin Lipomicel 10x.

* It is important to validate with a health specialist if quercetin can be suitable for you before consuming it in supplements.
