Quercetin is a plant-derived antioxidant compound for the maintenance of good health in the fast-paced and demanding world we share.
- Quercetin is widely distributed in the plant kingdom and is the most abundant of the flavonoid molecules. It is found in many foods including apples, onions, berries, and brassica vegetables. It is also found in medicinal plants including Ginkgo biloba and Hypericum perforatum (St. John’s wort). Quercetin is recognized as one of the key components for the medicinal activity of these plants, and experimental studies have demonstrated that it has many effects on the body. All flavonoids have the same basic chemical structure: a three-ring molecule with attached hydroxyl (OH) groups. Many variations can occur, resulting in a vast array of flavonoids.
- Quercetin is an organic compound similar to several therapeutic flavonoids including rutin, isoquercetin, and hyperoside. Research has investigated the beneficial effects of quercetin on human health, many of which are attributed to its antioxidant action.
- Quercetin scavenges oxygen radicals and inhibits xanthine oxidase and lipid peroxidation in vitro. It has been shown that, in combination with ascorbic acid or alone, quercetin decreases the incidence of oxidative damage caused by experimental glutathione depletion.
- Each New Roots Herbal Quercetin Bioflavonoids capsule contains 500 mg of naturally sourced and potency-validated quercetin.
