Biovea Quercetin – Quercetin, Pack size 50 caps

What is quercetin?

Found in apples, tea, grapes, and other foods, quercetin is a plant flavonoid that may support your immune system. BIOVEA® Quercetin adds citrus bioflavonoid complex. Quercetin is a flavonoid used for over 30 years to increase resistance to food and respiratory allergies. Its biological effects are mainly due to a specific synergy with vitamin C (quercetin and vitamin C protect and regenerate each other) and to a broad-spectrum, multifunctional anti-inflammatory activity.

What does quercetin do?

Quercetin inhibits the enzymes cyclooxygenase and lipooxygenase, reducing the production of key inflammatory mediators: prostaglandins and leukotrienes. This broad spectrum of action means that it can be recommended for any inflammation.

Quercetin inhibits the production of histamine by stabilizing basophils and mast cells. Histamine is directly responsible for most of the unpleasant symptoms associated with allergies (sneezing, itching, etc.). Quercetin acts directly on the intestinal tract to reduce reactions to food allergens.

A 5-year study of 809 men showed that higher quercetin consumption reduced overall cardiovascular risk by one-third. Quercetin has proven antithrombotic and vasodilatory effects.

The risk of stroke is inversely proportional to quercetin intake. Those with the lowest intake have a fourfold higher risk. Quercetin protects the kidneys from the recognized toxic effects of certain drugs (cyclosporine).

Quercetin significantly improves symptoms of prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. The health benefits of quercetin have long been tempered by its relatively poor intestinal absorption, meaning that a large number of capsules must be taken each day to obtain these benefits.

Directions: Take two capsules, once daily, with meals.
