Quercetin is the main flavonoid which belongs to the class called flavonols. It is a biologically active natural compound built upon the flavon structure, i.e., C6(ring A)-C3(ring C)-C6(ring B). Quercetin has unique biological properties that can improve mental or physical performance and reduce the risk of infection. These properties form the basis for potential benefits to overall health and disease resistance, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-obesity, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-diabetic, cardiovascular protection, immunomodulatory, anti-hypertensive, and others.

• Fights Free Radicals

Quercetin is a scavenger of free radicals and has the ability to protect our body from free radicals. Therefore, quercetin is considered to be the most potent natural antioxidant flavonoid.

• Reduces Inflammation

Quercetin is a long-lasting anti-inflammatory substance with strong anti-inflammatory properties. It possesses anti-inflammatory potential that can be expressed on different cell types, both in animal and human models ^[1]. Quercetin can be effective against inflammation-related diseases that include, but are not limited to, chronic infections of the prostate, dermatitis, urticaria, gout, and asthma.

• Reduces Cancer Risk

Quercetin has anti-cancer properties by inhibiting tumor proliferation, invasion, and tumor metastasis. It is an ideal therapeutic tool for chemoprevention of cancer, which can specifically activate the apoptosis of cancer cells without inhibiting the growth of normal cells.

• Relieves Allergies

Quercetin may be a beneficial supplement for people suffering from allergies, especially rhinitis. This is because a major trigger for sinus health problems is histamine release, and quercetin may have the unique ability to block histamine release.

• Reduces Obesity

Quercetin helps reduce obesity to enhance healthy weight balance. Several in vivo and in vitro studies have shown that quercetin may ameliorate obesity through different molecular pathways. First, it has been shown to inhibit adipocyte differentiation and fat formation, which are key processes in the development of obesity ^[2]. In addition, it has also been found to promote lipolysis, the breakdown of stored fat, and increase thermogenesis, the production of heat by brown adipose tissue, thereby increasing energy expenditure ^[3].
