Quercetin
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid (sometimes called vitamin P because flavonoids possess many of the qualities of vitamins), and it is rich in healthy nutrients. Normally found in highly nutritious foods and plants, such as citrus, red apples, teas, broccoli and onions, etc., you can easily take it in a supplement form; and because the human body cannot produce bioflavonoids, they must be supplied in the diet to support good health. Quercetin provides plant compounds to support healthy memory and the brain, including the mild memory loss associated with ageing, and overall cerebral health. Quercetin (working best in conjunction with vitamin C) supports healthy veins, capillaries, gums, rectal tissue and skin. It is also thought to be especially useful as a botanical support for healthy lungs, bronchial and nasal passages, sinuses and overall pulmonary and respiratory health.

History:
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid, an important member of a large group of compounds that are found in many herbs and plants, including Onions (thought to have the largest amount), Broccoli, Citrus fruits (especially the white material just beneath the peel of citrus fruits), Grapes, teas (especially Green Tea), Blue-green Algae/Spirulina, Red Apples, Red Wine and many others. Although not a real vitamin in the true sense, it is sometimes referred to as vitamin P, a so-called vitamin that maintains the resistance of cell and capillary walls to permeation to maintain their health and integrity. As a matter of fact, the letter "P" represents the "Permeability" factor, and it was given to this group of nutrients because they support capillary and cell strength with emphasis on permeability. Bioflavonoids cannot be manufactured in the body and are necessary for good health and essential for the absorption of vitamin C - and often called the companion of vitamin C. It is recommended that bioflavonoids, i.e., Quercetin and vitamin C be taken simultaneously for optimum efficacy. Bromelein, too, is said to help absorption of Quercetin; they're synergistic, and taking them at the same time will enhance the efficacy of Quercetin. There are many different bioflavonoids, including Quercetin, Rutin, Hesperidin, eriodictyl and citron, etc., and some of the herbs that contain this essential nutrient include Chervil, Elderberry, Hawthorne, Horsetail, Rose Hips and Shepherd's Purse, to name a few. Recent studies show that bioflavonoids may be a big factor in guarding and supporting the body's natural defenses and cellular health.
