Description

Quercetin, one of the two primary ingredients in Thorne’s Quercetin Complex, stabilizes the body’s mast cells, which store and release histamine, so it supports individuals who suffer from allergies.

Quercetin appears to have many other beneficial effects on human health, including protection of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system, where it scavenges free radicals and inhibits the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.

Thorne’s Quercetin Complex combines quercetin phytosome (quercetin bound to sunflower-sourced phospholipids, which increases the body’s ability to absorb the quercetin) and bromelain, a compound of protein-digesting enzymes derived from the pineapple plant. Bromelain also has immune-enhancing properties because it contains constituents that help maintain a healthy cytokine balance. Bromelain helps reduce bruising and swelling after an injury or surgery.
