History and Usage:
Quercetin (or quercetine) is an important member of a class of naturally occurring plant pigments known as flavonoids. The distinctive red color of some wines, onions and apples is due to the presence of quercetin. The latter two are particularly rich sources of the compound, as are black and green teas. It is also interesting that quercetin serves as a basic building block for many other members of the flavonoids family.
The main claims for quercetin’s health benefits are centered on its powerful antioxidant, anti-histamine, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
Along with other antioxidants, quercetin fights the damaging free radical molecules that are a major cause of aging and degenerative disease in modern Western societies. Several population studies have linked a high intake of quercetin and other flavonoids to a reduced risk of certain disorders.
Research results published in Surgery in 2002 showed that the antioxidant activity of quercetin reduces the build up of a key component of atherosclerosis. This supports the findings of a large scale Dutch study of 5,000 adults which linked a high flavonoid intake with a reduced heart attack risk.
A 2001 study by the prestigious Mayo Clinic found that use of quercetin may be a new breakthrough in the treatment of prostate disorders. A report published in December 2004, showed that quercetin is also effective in treating chronic prostatitis. Lead researcher, Dr. Daniel Shoskes, said, “These impressive findings should offer hope to the millions of men who suffer from this poorly understood and painful condition, as it provides a new option for doctors who've been frustrated by limited treatment choices.”
Other health benefits of quercetin may include:
- Blocking the formation of a particular blood sugar that contributes to the formation of cataracts.
- Relieving asthma, other respiratory diseases and allergies due to the combined anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine properties.
- Lowering the risk of heart disease by reducing oxidation of “bad” cholesterol.
- Helping to reduce the chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract that occurs due to Crohn’s disease.
- Providing heart-protective and increased bone density benefits for women because of quercetin’s phytoestrogen nature.
Quercetin has been studied scientifically for over 30 years and during that time it has proven to be not only a highly effective natural supplement, but a safe one as well.
