Quercetin (Cat No.: I011999) is a natural flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants, known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective properties. It scavenges free radicals, reduces oxidative stress, and modulates signaling pathways involved in inflammation and immune responses. Quercetin has been studied for its potential benefits in cardiovascular health, cancer prevention, neuroprotection, and metabolic disorders. It also exhibits antiviral and antihistamine effects, making it a promising compound in allergy relief and immune support. Its bioavailability varies, influencing its therapeutic efficacy.
