Vitakruid Quercetin 250 Quercefit Phytosome TechnologyQuercetin from food is poorly absorbed
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid, a nutrient found in citrus fruits, onions, potatoes, and buckwheat, among other foods. However, we encounter a problem with the substance we previously referred to as vitamin P. During cooking, quercetin disappears for 70 to as much as 90 percent from our food.
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), which makes the absorption of quercetin 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 absorbability 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 up to 20 times better absorbed by 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 ten to twenty times better absorbed than regular quercetin!
250 mg per capsule; ample due to Phytosome® technology
Most quercetin products contain up to 500 mg of regular quercetin. A dosage of 250 mg per capsule therefore seems small. But as explained; Quercefit® is absorbed by our body ten to twenty times better than regular quercetin.
