Description

Quercitin is a bioflavinoid with many valuable properties. Up until now the quercitins available only had a 1- 2% absorption rate as well as possible toxic side effects. Quercitin Chalcone, a new product by Thorne, appears to be much more bioavailable (perhaps a 50% absorption rate) and non-toxic than previously available quercitins. Quercitin is a potent inhibitor of mast cell and basophil degranulation thus greatly decreasing histamine release and its resultant inflammatory and allergic symptoms. Quercitin's membrane stabilizing effect decreases neutrophil liposomal enzyme secretion, preventing lipid peroxidation and leukotiene and prostaglandin release. It also has a sparing effect an Vitamin C and epinephrine, improves pancreatic islet cell function, and can help prevent diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy. Quercitin has also exhibited strong anti-viral activity, and research suggests it is a suppresser of tumor formation and a useful item for cancer prevention. This is a product that can be useful in most allergic patients, patients with inflammatory conditions, etc.
