Quercetin and Pterostilbene Advanced by Dr. Mercola combines two plant compounds in one formula: quercetin and trans-pterostilbene. Quercetin is a flavonoid found naturally in foods such as onions, apples and various herbs. Pterostilbene is a polyphenol found in foods such as blueberries and is related to resveratrol in its chemical structure.
About the ingredients in Quercetin and Pterostilbene Advanced
Each daily serving of two capsules contains 500 mg Quercetin Phytosome Complex, derived from the flowers of the Japanese pagoda tree (Sophora japonica), and 50 mg trans-pterostilbene. The formula also contains supporting ingredients such as sunflower lecithin, carrot powder and potato maltodextrin. The capsules are made from plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC).
Quercetin in a phytosome complex
Quercetin is a natural plant compound belonging to the flavonoids, a group of polyphenols found in many vegetables, fruits and herbs. In its standard form, quercetin is relatively poorly soluble in water and is only absorbed to a limited extent by the body.
Dr. Mercola therefore uses a phytosome complex. This binds quercetin to phospholipids, fat-like substances that also occur naturally in cell membranes. This technology has been developed to improve the bioavailability of quercetin.
What is pterostilbene?
Pterostilbene is a plant polyphenol found naturally in foods such as blueberries. The compound is closely related to resveratrol, but differs in some aspects of its chemical structure. Pterostilbene contains two methoxy groups, for example, which make it more soluble in fats than resveratrol.
This supplement uses trans-pterostilbene. This is the trans isomer of pterostilbene, the same molecular form that occurs in nature.

Extra information
A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. This food supplement is not a substitute for a varied diet. If you are taking medication, have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor, pharmacist or therapist before use. If you experience side effects, stop use, let us know and consult your doctor. Not suitable for children unless specifically stated.
Quercetin inhibits the absorption and action of ciclosporin and digoxin. This is because quercetin affects certain enzymes and proteins responsible for breakdown and absorption (CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein). Quercetin may affect the action of ciclosporin and digoxin. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.
