Quercetin + Nettles

• Natural support for healthy immune and inflammatory responses

Description

Quercetin + Nettle provides 600 mg of quercetin and 600 mg of nettle per three capsule serving. This targeted and highly effective combination of ingredients helps modulate inflammation and immune responses in conditions that have an inflammatory etiopathogeny such as allergic rhinitis, asthma, eosinophilia, inflammatory bowel disease, osteoarthritis, obesity, type II diabetes, and even certain cancers. Research suggests that the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiviral properties of nettle and quercetin are dependent on their ability to disrupt the production and actions of pro-inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and interleukins.

Quercetin, also known as the "Queen of Flavonoids", is considered to be one of the best plant-based phenolic compounds, due to its powerful antioxidant properties and its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response in the body. Quercetin is a potent flavonol found in many foods known for their health benefits, such as red onions, apples, olive oil, dark berries and grapes, capers, broccoli, greens, and culinary herbs such as dill, cilantro, watercress, and radicchio (quercetin contributes to the richly colored pigments in these foods). Recent genomic research has shown that by binding to DNA or other proteins, quercetin acts as a cis-regulatory transcription factor that modulates the expression of genes involved in the cell cycle, differentiation and development. In addition, this phenolic compound demonstrates an ability to mitigate lipid peroxidation, capillary permeability and platelet aggregation.

The nettle plant (Urtica dioica L.) has traditionally been used throughout the world as a folk medicine to support respiratory and joint health, but also in various other applications such as hypertension11. Its use is documented in ancient Egypt and Greece as well as among the indigenous peoples of North America; it can be consumed directly or processed into soups, tea and even beer. Nettle is very high in vitamin C and iron, nutrients that underlie its role in the immune response as a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antihistamine agent.
