Description
Quercetin – is a compound called a flavonoid which is found in apples, citrus fruit as well as onions. It can help inhibit histamine release from mast cells which are important immune modulatory cells in the body.
What is quercetin used for?: The beneficial effects of flavonoids, like quercetin, come from their antioxidant content. It can often be found in natural anti-histamine supplements. Whilst there is little evidence at the moment to prove any health benefits fully, one UK study has found that quercetin has anti-bacterial properties.
What food has the most quercetin?: Quercetin content is highest in onions but it can be found in abundance in apples, honey, raspberries, red grapes, cherries, citrus fruits, and green leafy vegetables
Is liposomal quercetin better?: Studies have shown liposomal quercetin can significantly improve the solubility and bioavailability of quercetin.
Did you know that vitamin C plays a crucial role in reducing the histamine load in the body? Research shows that Vitamin C can reduce histamin levels by 30% after 2g of vitamin C is administered. This helps the body to avoid becoming overwhelmed with a cascade of histamine load and makes symptoms more manageable.
Both vitamin C and quercetin have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties as well and play important roles in other body systems and processes which are beneficial to overall health.
