Q: Is quercetin dihydrate the same as quercetin? What is the difference?
A: They are very similar, but not identical. Quercetin Dihydrate is the most common and stable supplemental form, where quercetin is bound to two water molecules (hence “dihydrate”). When you see “quercetin” on a supplement label, it is often this form. The key difference is that the dihydrate form is about 10% less potent by weight than pure, anhydrous quercetin because the water molecules contribute to the weight.
Q: What is quercetin dihydrate made from?
A: Quercetin itself is a natural flavonoid found in foods like capers, onions, apples, and grapes. Quercetin dihydrate is produced in a lab by extracting and purifying quercetin from these natural sources (often from the Japanese Pagoda Tree) and then crystallizing it with water to create a stable, powdered supplement.
Q: How much quercetin dihydrate per day?
A: A common daily dosage for general antioxidant support ranges from 250 mg to 500 mg. For specific, short-term immune or exercise recovery support, doses can range from 500 mg to 1000 mg. Important: Since the dihydrate form includes water weight, a 500 mg dose provides slightly less active quercetin than a 500 mg dose of the anhydrous form. Always follow the product’s label and consult a healthcare provider.
Q: Is quercetin dihydrate easily absorbed?
A: Like most forms of plain quercetin, the dihydrate form has moderate but limited absorption on its own. Its bioavailability is significantly enhanced when taken with food, specifically:
Healthy Fats or Oils
A Source of Vitamin C
A Piperine (Black Pepper) Extract Many modern supplements now include these enhancers or use advanced forms like Quercetin Phytosome for much better absorption.
