At NeatResearch Laboratories, we use do use quercetin, depending on the end product, to enhance bioavailability.

Scientifically, it is represented by (2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3,5,7-trihydroxy-4Hchromen-4-one) and is a flavonoid, an aglycone form of a number of other flavonoid glycosides found in citrus fruits.

Quercetin has exhibited a wide range of beneficial biological activities including antioxidant, radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic, anti-tumoral and anti-viral effects[1]. Quercetin has been shown to increase bioavailability, blood levels and efficacy of a number of drugs including diltiazem, digoxin and epigallocatechin gallaate[2]–[3].

Studies have shown that the consumption of flavonoids, specifically quercetin, offer a two-fold benefit (at least) in promoting overall cardiovascular health. First, it encourages blood flow[4]. Secondly, researchers have observed that quercetin’s antioxidant action protects against LDL cholesterol oxidation.

Dr Josh Axe writes, “Research now shows us that inflammation is the root of most diseases, including heart disease, cancer, cognitive decline, some mental disorders and autoimmune disorders. The most well-researched effects of quercetin on fighting inflammation have been found in foods (especially fruits and veggies) that naturally supply flavonoids and other polyphenols, so we still have more to learn about the long-term effects of taking antioxidant supplements to lower inflammatory diseases. At this time, practitioners and patients report using quercetin to effectively fight conditions related to inflammation, including (6):

• “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis)
• high cholesterol
• heart disease and circulation problems
• insulin resistance and diabetes
• eye-related disorders, including cataracts
• allergies, asthma and hay fever
• stomach ulcers
• cognitive impairment
• gout
• viral infections
• inflammation of the prostate, bladder and ovaries
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• cancer
• chronic infections of the prostate
• skin disorders, including dermatitis and hives
