What is Quercetin?
Flavonoids are organic compounds found in plants. They act as antioxidants and antimicrobial agents that help plants grow and defend themselves. Quercetin is a specific flavonoid from the flavonol sub-group. Quercetin is abundant in nature and can be found in many of the plant-based foods that humans consume. Onions, tomatoes, apples, berries, grapes, peppers, tea, seeds, nuts, flower buds and capers all contain quercetin. Most of us do get some quercetin daily, but the amount is not high enough to fully capitalize on its many health benefits. On average, humans intake less than 14 mg of quercetin in the daily diet(1).

Quercetin – Numerous health benefits

Quercetin offers the potential for improving physical performance while reducing infection risk. It has been noted for its antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antihistamine, vasodilation and antiaging properties in humans.

The major challenge in unlocking the benefits of quercetin is its poor absorption. Like medicinal plant compounds such as boswellia and curcumin, quercetin has poor solubility in water and is inefficient in crossing cellular membranes into the bloodstream. Studies indicate that only 1-2% of quercetin consumed orally by humans is absorbed by the body(2). Researchers have sought to improve the absorbability of quercetin using several methods. One technology has recently moved to the forefront.

Quercefit®- the most absorbable form of quercetin

Indena, an Italian nutritional research company, has become recognized for improving the absorption of numerous medicinal plant compounds. Using its Phytosome® formulation technology to mimic the body’s natural digestive processes, Indena has dramatically increased the absorption of curcumin (Meriva®) and boswellia (Casperome®), two natural anti-inflammatories. Now, Phytosome® technology has been put to the task of solving quercetin’s absorption issues.
Using Phytosome® technology to complex quercetin extracted from the flower buds of the Japanese Pagoda plant with sunflower sourced lecithin, significantly improved absorption levels have been achieved. This phospholipid complex, known as Quercefit®, is the source of quercetin selected for the CinDen Nutritionals Bioavailable Quercemune formulation.

The Quercefit® Phytosome® Solution:

Quercefit® uses Phytosome® technology to complex (envelope) the Quercetin in plant-source phosphatidylcholine which does two things:

1. Protects Quercetin from water damage.
2. Allows Quercetin to pass more efficiently through the cell membranes of the intestinal tract and into the bloodstream.

20X superior absorption
The lecithin phospholipid utilized in Phytosome® technology protects quercetin from degradation by water and shuttles it through the membrane of intestinal tract more efficiently. This mimics how taking quercetin with a fatty meal could improve absorption. By using the Phytosome® delivery method, quercetin levels in the blood tested 20 times higher in blood measurements when patients take Quercefit® vs. standard quercetin at comparable doses.3 Quercefit® delivers levels of quercetin that one would get from a very quercetin-rich diet – something few of us attain.
