Quercetin + Nettles provides 600 mg quercetin and 600 mg nettles per three-capsule serving. This targeted and highly impactful combination of ingredients may help modulate inflammatory and immune responses in conditions that have an inflammatory etiopathology such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, eosinophilia, inflammatory bowel diseases, osteoarthritis, obesity, type II diabetes, and even certain cancers.1-5 Research suggests that both nettle’s and quercetin’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties are attributed to their ability to interrupt the production and actions of pro-inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and interleukins.5-9 Quercetin, also known as the “king of the flavonoids”, is considered to be among the top
plant-based polyphenolic compounds due to its powerful antioxidant properties and its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response in the body. Quercetin is a potent flavonol found in many foods that are recognized for their health benefits, such as red onions, apples, olive oil, dark berries and grapes, capers, broccoli, salad greens and culinary herbs such as dill, cilantro, watercress, and radicchio.6 (This phytochemical contributes to the richly-coloured pigments in these foods.) Novel genome research has found that upon binding to DNA or other genome-associated proteins, quercetin assumes the role of a cis-regulatory transcription factor for genetic expressions that are involved in the cell cycle, dierentiation, and development.10 Moreover, this polyphenolic compound also demonstrates an ability to aid in the attenuation of lipid peroxidation, capillary permeability, and platelet aggregation.4 The stinging nettle plant (Urtica dioica L.) has traditionally been used as a folk medicine remedy for supporting respiratory and joint health and various other applications, such as with hypertension, throughout the world.11 Documentation points to its use in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and among indigenous peoples of North America, and can be consumed directly or made into soups, tea, and even brewed into beer. Nettle has a very high content of vitamin C and iron which underlies its role in the immune response as a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-histaminic agent.12An Antioxidant for the maintenance of good health. Protects capillaries and blood vessels.
