Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
What is Quercetin and how does it support immunity?
Quercetin is a powerful natural antioxidant and plant pigment (flavonoid) found in various fruits and vegetables. It is highly regarded for its ability to neutralize free radicals, support respiratory health, and strengthen your body's natural immune defenses.
-
Can Quercetin help with seasonal allergies and hayfever in NZ?
Yes, absolutely. Quercetin acts as a natural antihistamine by helping to stabilize mast cells, which prevent the release of histamine in the body. Many New Zealanders take it daily to help manage seasonal sniffles, watery eyes, and respiratory discomfort during high pollen seasons.
-
Why is Quercetin often taken together with Zinc?
Quercetin acts as a natural "zinc ionophore," meaning it helps transport zinc across cell membranes into the cells where it is needed most. Taking Quercetin alongside a zinc supplement can significantly enhance the immune-boosting benefits of both nutrients.
-
How many capsules should I take daily, and should I take it with food?
We recommend taking 1 to 2 capsules daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Because Quercetin is a fat-soluble compound, it is best absorbed when taken with a meal that contains healthy fats.
