Description
About Quercetin Boost your immunity and fight inflammation and allergies with quercetin, a powerful natural antioxidant with multiple benefits for your health! There are mainly two forms of quercetin: anhydrous quercetin and quercetin dihydrate. Anhydrous quercetin contains 98% pure quercetin, in the most concentrated and highest-quality form. Thanks to its strong absorption and high bioavailability, anhydrous quercetin stays in the blood for longer. Biform Santé chose this anhydrous form, unlike the dihydrate form, which is less pure, poorly absorbed and often contains heavy metals. Quercetin is part of the flavonoid family. These compounds, naturally present in plants, have numerous effects on the body, the main one being to strengthen the capillary wall (the smallest blood vessels) and reduce their permeability. Quercetin contributes to: √ Reducing chronic inflammation of the prostate or urinary tract. √ A decrease in blood pressure in hypertensive individuals √ A decrease in bad cholesterol (LDL) levels in people with excess weight problems. √ May inhibit blood platelet aggregation, a mechanism involved in atherosclerosis. √ Reducing allergic reactions and the risk of asthma, √ Reducing inflammation, preventing cardiovascular disease. Where can quercetin be found naturally? It can be found in good quantities among fruits and vegetables. Foods rich in quercetin include: capers, lovage, red onions, apples, tea, grapes, red wine, garlic, broccoli, small red fruits (strawberries, goji berries, blueberries, cranberries, redcurrants, cherries), citrus fruits (grapefruit, orange, pomelo, lemon), fresh dill, green beans and yellow beans, certain medicinal plants: St John's wort, ginkgo biloba. A balanced, varied diet should normally be enough to provide adequate quercetin doses to stay healthy. However, if the aim is to fight allergies, boost immunity or combat inflammation at a specific time, taking a supplement will be worthwhile.
