Quercetin & Bioflavonoids Complex (90 Caps)

Quercetin Bioflavonoid Complex contains naturally sourced citrus bioflavonoids, the flavonoids quercetin and rutin, and the potent proteolytic enzyme bromelain.

Flavonoids are robust compounds that provide bright colors essential for attracting pollinating insects, fill numerous metabolic roles, and help protect plants from disease. Flavonoids are widespread throughout the plant kingdom and are found in apples, onions, dark-skinned berries, and medicinal plants such as Ginkgo biloba and St. John's wort. They contribute to the therapeutic activity of many plants in experimental studies that contribute to their beneficial effects on the body. All flavonoids have the same basic chemical structure: a three-ring molecule with attached hydroxyl (OH) groups. Flavonoids, as a general rule, are antioxidants, and many of the effects of quercetin appear to be due to its antioxidant activity.

Bromelain, primarily from pineapple stems, is a group of proteolytic enzymes essential for protein digestion. While most enzymes are considered poorly absorbed, the body can absorb significant amounts of bromelain. People with malabsorption may use proteolytic enzymes to improve their condition.

Rutin has strong antioxidant properties; it can also chelate iron, thereby reducing the production of harmful oxygen radicals (Fenton reaction). Rutin also appears to stabilize vitamin C. If rutin is combined with vitamin C, the antioxidant activity of ascorbic acid will be intensified.

Quercetin Bioflavonoid Complex is an excellent supplement to help keep your health on track. This complex contains quercetin, bromelain, and rutin, which scavenge oxygen radicals, inhibit xanthine oxidase, and inhibit lipid peroxidation.
