Contains 500mg of quercetin phytosomes per daily dose. The quercetin is bound to phosphatidylcholine (lecithin), which allows for much better absorption in the intestines. This means 500mg of quercetin phytosomes is equivalent to 4,000mg of standard quercetin!
Quercetin Phytosome by Thorne provides 500 milligrams of quercetin phytosomes per daily dose. Quercetin phytosomes are also known as liposomal quercetin. The quercetin is bound to phosphatidylcholine (lecithin). As a result, the intestines absorb the quercetin many times more effectively. This also provides up to 20x higher bioavailability than standard quercetin extract. This means 500mg of quercetin phytosomes from this product is equivalent to 4,000mg of standard quercetin! The product is also guaranteed free from soya, milk, gluten, preservatives and artificial fragrances and flavourings. It is also suitable for vegetarians. Thorne is committed to natural supplements based on scientific research.
About the quercetin in Quercetin Phytosome
Quercetin is a secondary plant compound. In chemical terms, it belongs to the flavonols. Flavonols, in turn, belong to the chemical group known as flavonoids, also called bioflavonoids. Flavonoids are widely found in plants. They are pigments, which means they have various colours, such as red, yellow or blue. Quercetin is a lemon-yellow substance. It is the most common flavonoid in the plant kingdom. It is found in apples, onions, tea, berries, vegetables, seeds and nuts, for example.
Quercetin Phytosome contains more than quercetin alone. The advantage of this product over other quercetin products is its use of phytosome technology. This is also referred to as phytosome complexes or phytosomal technology. Phytosome complexes are made using a patented process that binds a botanical extract to phosphatidylcholine (lecithin). In Quercetin Phytosome, quercetin is combined with phosphatidylcholine from sunflower. This allows the product to pass through the stomach barrier easily.

Quercetin affects the absorption and action of ciclosporin and digoxin by inhibiting them. This is because quercetin acts on certain enzymes and proteins responsible for breakdown and absorption (CYP3A4 and p-glycoprotein). Quercetin may affect the action of ciclosporin and digoxin.
