It occurs naturally in various foods, including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and onions. Quercetin falls under the subgroup of flavonols, which protect plants against damage from insects or microorganisms. In food, quercetin is present in glycoside form (bound to a sugar). By storing at higher temperatures, cooking, or peeling, quercetin is partially lost. A supplement with quercetin can therefore be useful to increase daily intake. Like other bioflavonoids, quercetin is known for its very poor absorption in the body due to its low solubility in water (and thus in aqueous digestive juices). Research shows that quercetin in a homogeneous mixture with phosphatidylcholine (in so-called phytosomal form) has up to 20 times better absorption and bioavailability than pure quercetin.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eImproved absorption through Phytosome® technology \r\u003cbr\u003eQuercetine-PS contains quercetin from a natural source. It is derived from the flowers of the honey tree (Sophora japonica). The absorption and bioavailability of quercetin in Quercetine-PS is significantly improved by the application of the patented Phytosome® technology from the Italian producer Indena. The term Phytosome (or phytosome) comes from the Greek word phuton (plant) and soma (body). During the patented production process, the natural clumping of specific, poorly absorbable phytonutrients (such as quercetin) is limited, and these are mixed with phospholipids (phosphatidylcholine) from sunflower lecithin. The active substances are not encapsulated (as in liposomes), but a homogeneous mixture of small, well-absorbable particles is created. Bioflavonoids (such as quercetin) have a natural affinity for phospholipids. The result is the formation of phytosomes, where the bioflavonoids attach to the phospholipids. In this way, they are absorbed even better. Cell membranes (such as those of cells in the small intestine) also consist of a phospholipid bilayer, allowing these phytosomes to pass through the intestinal wall excellently and the active ingredients to be well absorbed into circulation. Studies have shown that the absorption and bioavailability of quercetin is improved 10-20 times by this Phytosome® technology.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eUnlike liposome technology\r\u003cbr\u003eIn a liposome, the active substance is located in the center of a sphere with a double layer of phospholipids. With Phytosome® technology, it is truly about a homogeneous mixture, and the active substance is not encapsulated. This means you need much less phospholipids than with liposomes.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eAbout Indena\r\u003cbr\u003eIndena is an Italian producer, with locations around the world, and an expert in phytonutrients.
