Quercetin is a flavonoid (a plant pigment) found in many plants and foods, such as onions, green tea, apples, berries and red grapes. It possesses high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and became of particular interest during the height of Covid-19, due to its ability to assist with respiratory health, as well as its antiviral properties. On its own, quercetin is not very well absorbed by the body, and this is why Sally-Ann formulated her Quercetin with Vitamin C. This combination provides wonderful overlapping antiviral and immune boosting properties, while the strategic incorporation of vitamin C has the capacity to recycle quercetin within the body, making it more effective and bioavailable to the body.
Benefits may include:
-Improved immune function due to antiviral, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
-Assistance with seasonal allergies
-Increased collagen formation and improved wound healing
-Protection of blood vessels
Owing to its immunoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, quercetin has become a popular supplement used to assist with a range of conditions. It is one of the most common flavonoids, and there is a wealth of research on it.
Some further benefits of quercetin may include:
-Reduction in acute and chronic inflammation, which may assist with arthritis management
-Anti-cancer properties, as the flavonoid has been shown to reduce the growth and spread of cancer cells in high concentrations which may further assist with tumor growth
-Oxidative stress has been linked to the development of neurological disorders and diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance of free radicals in the body, and due to quercetin’s natural antioxidant properties it may assist with neurodegeneration
-Quercetin possesses natural antihistamine like properties as it is able to facilitate the immune response to allergens. It can be beneficial for asthma sufferers by alleviating symptoms – this is stimulated by decreasing histamine level and easing the airway’s smooth muscle
-Improved post exercise recovery time due to its natural anti-inflammatory properties
