QUERCETIN
Quercetin is a flavonoid that the human body cannot produce. Quercetin increases the half-life of resveratrol and has been shown to work in conjunction with resveratrol to reduce the hallmarks of ageing, as well as reduce inflammation, fat cells, blood pressure, body weight and the risk of heart disease.
Quercetin is commonly used to alleviate allergy symptoms and its effects have been proven in many studies. Quercetin has also been studied for its great anti-cancer potential, across many different types of cancer.
Quercetin has been shown to significantly reduce early morning stiffness, morning pain, and after-activity pain in those with arthritis. Quercetin can protect your brain from dementia and has even reversed Alzheimer’s disease.
Finally, quercetin is an anti-diabetic and has been shown to help reduce blood sugar.
