How it supports your body
Quercetin is one of the best studied flavonoids, and has been shown to help your body in multiple avenues. It acts as an antioxidant in multiple ways (directly by scavenging free-radicals and helping activate your body’s antioxidant defenses), can support your body as it respond to inflammation, and is helping in balancing histamine levels. Plus, it has been shown to increase the effectiveness of other supplements.
