AOR Quercetin 100 Veggie Caps

Quercetin is the flavonoid in apple skins, onions and many other plants, and the most abundant bioflavonoid in a typical diet. AOR's is a pure, high-dose quercetin sourced from Dimorphandra mollis rather than citrus, which matters if citrus does not agree with you. It is a source of antioxidants for the maintenance of good health, and AOR notes it helps regulate the histamine response.

Each veggie capsule provides 500 mg with only cellulose and sodium stearyl fumarate added. Free of citrus, wheat, gluten, corn, nuts, soy, dairy and animal by-products.

• 100 veggie capsules
• 500 mg quercetin per capsule
• Citrus-free source, vegan

Quercetin belongs to the flavonoid class of antioxidants commonly found in apples, onions and citrus fruits. Its use has been widely established, particularly in Europe, for the treatment of a variety of ailments including allergy symptoms, diabetic complications and cardiovascular concerns, all thanks to its anti-inflammatory effects.

Although Quercetin’s main application is for those with allergy symptoms (such as itchy eyes, itchy throat, sneezing and nasal congestion), quercetin also promotes cardiovascular health due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It reduces the oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL), promotes healthy blood pressure and blood clotting, enhances nitric oxide (NO) production, and reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome. Quercetin can provide relief from headaches and other types of pain, as it inhibits the production of inflammatory signaling molecules by a mechanism similar to that of aspirin. Quercetin also inhibits the release of histamine from certain immune cells, hence why it is widely used by those who suffer from constant allergies (such as dust) and seasonal allergies (such as hay fever).
