Pharmaceutical research & applications
Q: What is the best form of quercetin to take?
A: For superior absorption, Quercetin Phytosome® (quercetin bound to phospholipids) is clinically proven to have the highest bioavailability. A close and more accessible alternative is Quercetin Dihydrate, the standard, well-researched form. Avoid plain “quercetin” without a specification, as it may be less absorbable.
Q: How to take quercetin powder?
A: Mix the recommended serving (typically 500-1000 mg) with a beverage. For best absorption, take it with a source of fat (like a spoonful of oil or with a meal) and/or with Vitamin C or Bromelain, as these can enhance its bioavailability and effectiveness.
Q: Which is better, CoQ10 or quercetin?
A: They are not competitors; they are a powerful team with different primary roles:
CoQ10: Essential for cellular energy production (especially in the heart and muscles) and acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant.
Quercetin: A potent anti-inflammatory and antiviral flavonoid that also supports immune function and acts as a water-soluble antioxidant. For comprehensive cellular and cardiovascular health, taking them together is ideal.
Q: Which food is highest in quercetin?
A: Capers and raw elderberries are among the absolute richest sources. Other excellent dietary sources include:
Onions (especially red and yellow)
Kale
Broccoli
Apples (with the skin)
Berries
Q: What are the symptoms of low quercetin?
A: There is no official “deficiency” for quercetin like there is for vitamins. However, a diet consistently low in flavonoids like quercetin may contribute to:
Increased susceptibility to inflammation
Weaker antioxidant defense against oxidative stress
Less robust immune response Ensuring adequate intake through diet or supplements helps support the body’s natural resilience in these areas.
