What is Quercetin and when to take it?Updated 4 days ago

Naturally found in plant-based food like capers, peppers, onions, shallots, tomatoes, apples, broccoli and kale, Quercetin can also be taken in supplements. Quercetin is not water-soluble and has low bioavailability; therefore, supplements are usually found in combination with other vitamins like vitamin C. The NMN Bio’s supplement of Quercetin is 250mg combined with Vitamin C and Citrus Bioflavonoids. This formula aids with absorption and provides the benefits of vitamin C. Vitamin C has a powerful antioxidant action and strengthens immunity.

The recommended dosage of Quercetin is 500 mg a day. The benefits include helping improve inflammation, blood pressure, exercise performance, and managing blood sugar levels. It is also a natural antihistamine, an added advantage during spring and summer. If you are suffering from seasonal allergies, take 250mg of Quercetin up to 4 times a day, every 3-4 hours. Quercetin would be better absorbed after a meal or with something fatty like yoghurt or extra virgin olive oil, as it’s fat-soluble.
