Source Naturals created
ACTIVATED QUERCETIN: a truly
hypoallergenic formula developed so we all can
enjoy the pleasures of nature.
Quercetin: A Unique Bioflavonoid
Quercetin is a unique bioflavonoid that has been extensively studied by researchers over the
past 30 years. Bioflavonoids - first discovered by Nobel Prize Laureate Albert Szent-Györgyi
in the 1930’s - occur as pigments in plants, where they usually are found in close association
with vitamin C. Together, bioflavonoids and vitamin C provide antioxidant protection, helping
plants withstand harsh variations in wind, rainfall, temperature, and sunlight.
Bioflavonoids also can be important to our optimal health - but they cannot be manufactured
by our bodies.
Quercetin is no stranger to the human
diet: for example, onions may contain up
to 6% quercetin (dry weight). As a food supplement,
quercetin is hypoallergenic, containing
no citrus, wheat, corn, or other common
allergens.
Histamine and Leukotriene Inhibition: Helping Us
Enjoy the Natural World
Quercetin has a strong affinity for mast
cells, the body’s main storage unit for histamines.
Like many other bioflavonoids, it has
the ability to stabilize cell membranes, preventing
histamines from spilling out of mast
cells into the bloodstream and surrounding
tissues. Also, quercetin helps inhibit the
action of two enzymes - phospholipase A2
and lipoxygenase - which act on arachidonic
acid (a key fatty acid constituent of many cell
membranes) to create leukotrienes.
By inhibiting the release of histamines and
leukotrienes into our bloodstreams,
quercetin can leave us free to enjoy the
natural world.
