Vitakruid Quercetin 250 with Phytosome® technology

Quercetin from food is hardly absorbed
Quercetin is a so-called bioflavonoid, a nutrient that we find in citrus fruits, onions, potatoes and buckwheat, among others. However, we are encountering a problem with the substance we previously referred to as vitamin P. During cooking, 70 to 90 percent of quercetin disappears from our diet.

The 10 to 30 percent that then reaches our digestive system experiences another bottleneck. Quercetin is a nutrient that binds with phytonutrients (antibodies), making the absorption of quercetin more difficult. Due to the small amount of quercetin that ultimately ends up in the cell, supplementation is often recommended.

Less binding with phytonutrients
Fortunately, renowned nutrient manufacturer Indena has found a solution to the naturally poor absorption of quercetin. The developer limits the binding of quercetin with phytonutrients by mixing the bioflavonoid with phospholipids (natural building blocks of the cell). Due to the reduced binding with phytonutrients, fewer of these substances end up in our cell nucleus.

Quercetin is up to 20 times more absorbable thanks to Phytosome® technology
The natural binding of quercetin with phospholipids also creates a homogeneous mixture, which we then refer to as phytosomes. The product of this Phytosome® technology bears the patented name Quercefit®. Research shows that Quercefit® is between ten and twenty times more absorbable than regular quercetin!

250 mg per capsule; more than sufficient due to Phytosome® technology
The majority of quercetin products contain up to 500 mg of regular quercetin. A dosage of 250 mg per capsule therefore seems little. But as explained; Our body absorbs Quercefit® between ten and twenty times better than regular quercetin.
