QUERCETIN - AMAZING COMPOUND

I am a lover of good red wine and in the last week or so I got into one of those deep discussions with my wife and several other people regarding wine and of course, this only led to a number of questions I could not answer. This has motivated me to investigate this amazing Enhanced Antioxidant that protects the heart against heart disease, cancer, allergies, obesity and offers elements to increase our longevity.

I am sure almost everyone has heard how the French people are able to eat such rich food and enjoy the benefits of red wine. Scientific revelations have shown red wine has a number of valuable polyphenols, such as resveratrol and quercetin.

Quercetin has long been known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic qualities, and both of these qualities have been supported recently by scientific breakthroughs. These breakthroughs have also brought attention to quercetin’s ability to promote life extension by imitating caloric restriction. It demonstrates the many-sided protective benefits against cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and even cancer. Quercetin can be found in red wine and other dietary sources, such as apples, onions, grapefruit, tea, green vegetables and beans. A highly-purified supplement makes it possible to get strictly-controlled biological doses showing promise to prevent disease.

The heart of Quercetin’s amazing properties is its abilities to modulate the inflammation. It is understood inflammation is involved in all of the chronic human diseases and most of the acute infections. In 2007 Korean researchers demonstrated how quercetin restricted the production of inflammatory cytokines and blocked effects of a cellular mediator NF-kappa B, which has been long associated with cancer and chronic inflammatory conditions. Pharmaceutical agents will act to block COX enzymes used to manage painful conditions like arthritis, and LOX enzymes are used to manage asthma.

Research has successfully built a solid foundation for the importance of quercetin in treating human medical disorders. New research will use this foundation to further develop a better understanding of what quercetin can do for mankind. I am sure this will bring a brighter and healthier future for the world.
