Quercetin  Guide – A Helpful Resource

Quercetin is a plant based chemical known as a flavanoid. It is naturally found in many natural food sources.  It is especially potent in apples, raspberries and the skin of onions.  It is now available as a dietary supplement.

Since Quercetin is a flavanoid, it performs an antioxidant function.  More and more research is being done to determine how flavanoids, specifically Quercetin, play a role in the prevention of cardiovascular illnesses, as well as cancer.  It may also aid in improving respiratory function and reducing allergy symptoms.

Quercetin has been used as an anti-inflammatory supplement, but one of the more recent and credited claims of Quercetin is its energy boosting properties.  Taking a Quercetin supplement can provide a long burst of naturally sustained energy.  This is a result of Quercetin naturally increasing the quantity of mitochondria in your cells.  Mitochondria are the power source of a single cell, and an influx provides your muscles with extra fuel and extended endurance.

Quercetin can be taken in tablet form or from FRS, which can be easily dissolved in water or juice.  While Quercetin is a natural substance, it should only be used as recommended. When taking any with any dietary supplements, it’s best to stick with the specified daily dose, indicated on the manufacturer and consult your doctor before you increase your intake.
