Quercetin is a flavonoid that complements vitamin C’s health benefits. And our NEW bio-quercetin is encased in a plant-derived Phytosome delivery system, which makes it up to 50 times more bioavailable than a dose of standard quercetin.

Antioxidant protection, immune health, and more
- Getting enough vitamin C is vitally important for optimal health: this nutrient supports your immune system and helps maintain a healthy heart. In fact, studies have shown that people with higher vitamin C levels are more likely to live longer, healthier lives.1
- Plus, vitamin C’s biological activity is complemented by the health benefits of the flavonoid quercetin. In fact, vitamin C and bioflavonoids are often present together in healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables, notably including citrus fruits.1
- Quercetin has a long tradition of use relieving the effects of seasonal immune challenges. In a randomized clinical trial, quercetin supplementation encouraged a healthy immune response in physically fit older adults.2
- Another randomized controlled trial found similar results in trained athletes.3 And in double-blind clinical trials, quercetin promoted a healthy inflammatory response, reduced oxidative stress, and helped maintain overall health.4,5
