It is used in Herbal Medicine as a capillary\/blood vessel protectant. These are the Health Canada approved uses (NPN 80101688). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is Quercetin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin is a flavonoid found widely in plants. It is one of the most abundant dietary flavonoids. Food sources include onions (especially red onions, one of the richest dietary sources), capers, apples, berries, broccoli, kale, and tea. The name comes from the Latin word quercetum (oak forest), as quercetin was first isolated from oak bark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin belongs to the flavonoid class of polyphenols. Flavonoids are a large family of plant compounds. Quercetin is specifically a flavonol, a subclass of flavonoids. Other flavonols include kaempferol and myricetin. Flavonols are characterized by a hydroxyl group at position 3 of the flavone backbone, which contributes to their antioxidant activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Does Capillary\/Blood Vessel Protectant Mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Health Canada approved use for this formula includes use in Herbal Medicine as a capillary\/blood vessel protectant. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body. They form the network through which oxygen, nutrients, and waste are exchanged between the blood and the body's tissues. Capillary walls are only one cell thick, making them delicate structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Herbal Medicine traditions, quercetin has been used to support the integrity and tone of capillary walls. Capillary fragility refers to the tendency of capillaries to break easily, which can cause bruising or small red or purple spots on the skin (petechiae). The use of quercetin as a capillary\/blood vessel protectant in Herbal Medicine is the specific traditional use recognized by Health Canada in NPN 80101688.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Herbal Medicine use, not a disease treatment claim. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Quercetin Works as an Antioxidant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin is an antioxidant due to its chemical structure. It has multiple hydroxyl groups on its aromatic rings that can donate hydrogen atoms to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage cells by taking electrons from healthy molecules. Quercetin donates electrons to free radicals, neutralizing them and stopping the damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin also chelates (binds) metal ions such as iron and copper that can catalyze free radical production through a process called the Fenton reaction. By binding these metal ions, quercetin reduces their ability to generate additional free radicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin can also help regenerate other antioxidants including Vitamin C and Vitamin E after they have been oxidized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Take Quercetin With Food?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin has relatively low oral bioavailability on its own due to poor water solubility and limited intestinal absorption. Taking it with food, particularly a meal containing some fat, can improve absorption. The recommended dose for this formula is 1 capsule, 2 times per day, taken with food or a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnderstanding the Dose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 600mg of quercetin. At the recommended dose of 1 capsule twice per day, this formula provides 1,200mg of quercetin per day. This is a high-potency dose. Many quercetin supplements provide 250 to 500mg per day. At 60 capsules and 2 capsules per day, one bottle provides a 30 day supply (1 month).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnderstanding the Ingredient Content\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuercetin:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600mg per capsule\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaily dose at recommended use:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,200mg (2 capsules per day)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adults: 1 capsule, 2 times per day.
