Vitakruid Quercetine 250 Quercefit Phytosome technologyQuercetin 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 encounter a problem with the substance that we previously referred to as vitamin P. During cooking, quercetin disappears from our food by 70 to as much as 90 percent.
The 10 to 30 percent that then reaches our digestive system experiences another bottleneck. Quercetin is, after all, a nutrient that binds with phytonutrients (antibodies), making the absorption of quercetin more difficult. Due to the small amount of quercetin that ultimately reaches the cell, supplementation is often recommended.
Less binding with phytonutrients
Fortunately, renowned nutrient producer 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, less of those substances end up in our cell nucleus.
Quercetin is up to 20 times better absorbed due to Phytosome® technology
Moreover, the natural binding of quercetin with phospholipids creates a homogeneous mixture, which we then refer to as phytosomes. The product of this Phytosome® technology carries the patented name Quercefit®. Research shows that Quercefit® is between ten and twenty times better absorbed than regular quercetin!
250 mg per capsule; more than sufficient due to Phytosome® technology
Most quercetin products contain up to 500 mg of regular quercetin. A dosage of 250 mg per capsule may seem low. But as explained; Quercefit® is absorbed by our body between ten and twenty times better than regular quercetin.
