Natural Factors Quercetin capsules are enhanced with Citrus Bioflavonoids, Bromelain and Rutin. Bioflavonoids are brightly-coloured substances that are found in fruits and vegetables, typically as a companion to vitamin C. Bioflavonoids are essential for proper absorption of vitamin C and have been shown to have antioxidant properties, increase capillary strength and keep collagen healthy.
Quercetin:, one of the more prominent bioflavonoids found primarily in blue-green algae, has a beneficial effect on numerous ailments. It modulates allergic responses, hypersensitivity disorders, and circulatory disease. It has anti-inflammatory properties, and inhibits lipid peroxidation and free radical production. In areas of environmental degradation quercetin is a very powerful nutritional ally.
Quercetin is not easily absorbed and therefore, it is suggested that quercetin be taken with Bromelain, a natural protein-digesting enzyme derived from pineapples. Bromelain has its own anti-inflammatory properties which enhance the effect of quercetin. Some of the better quercetin products available contain bromelain as part of the nutritional formula.
The Importance of Vitamin C
As it is a water-soluble vitamin, the body does not store vitamin C, so regular supplementation is vital
The body's need for vitamin C increases during times of stress because vitamin C participates in the production of vital chemicals such as norepinephrine, needed for the 'fight or flight' response
Vitamin C acts as a detoxifier, helping to cleanse the body of toxins, such as cigarette smoke, carbon monoxide, etc.
Bioflavonoids enhance the activity of vitamin C and may improve the body's ability to hold and absorb vitamin C by 35%.
Vitamin C regulates cholesterol, blood pressure and blood clotting.
necessary to maintaining all collagen structures, thereby promoting wound repair, strong bones and teeth, and healthy gums.
protects the aqueous areas of the body (including the blood, intracellular fluid and interstitial fluid) from free radicals
Vitamin C protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation and also helps to regenerate vitamin E.
