Quercetin

Quercetin is a flavonoid, which are compounds commonly found in plants like fruits and vegetables. They’re also a phytonutrient which is a class of plant-based compounds that can provide a variety of health benefits when ingested in appropriate amounts.  Considered one of the most abundant flavonoid antioxidants in the human diet, quercetin plays an important role in fighting free radical damage, the effects of aging, and inflammation.

Foods that contains Quercetin include:

  • Berries
  • Cherries
  • Apples
  • Oranges
  • Onions
  • Citrus fruits
  • Broccoli
  • Kale
  • Tomatoes

Anti-Inflammatory

Flavonoids (aka bioflavonoids) including quercetin, are key anti-inflammatories that act as antioxidants, which means they fight the natural process of oxidation that takes place over time as we age. Quercetin can help stop damaging particles in the body known as free radicals, which negatively impact how cells work. It can also reduce expression of inflammatory genes such as interleukin.

Protect Cognitive Health

Flavonoids exert multiple beneficial effects on the vascular system leading to changes in cerebrovascular blood flow which are capable of changing neuronal morphology causing neurogenesis and angiogenesis. In addition to that, it also has the potential to protect neurons against injury induced by neurotoxins. The consumption of flavonoids rich food limits neurodegeneration and to reverse age-dependent loss in cognitive performance.

Longevity

Quercetin is a favorite supplement of longevity advocates because it is affordable and provides several positive ways of supporting extended life. Quercetin has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that may help eliminate cancer cells, control blood sugar, and prevent heart disease.
