Quercetin and Rutin
Quercetin is a plant pigment, known as a flavonoid, which is especially abundant in red wine, onions, green tea, apples, berries, and several herbs. Quercetin is often used in order to promote health, and has a wide range of biological actions. However, the main use of quercetin involves its antioxidant properties as well as effects on inflammation and immune function. As such, quercetin is used in a wide variety of disorders, involving many different conditions involving most organ systems. Quercetin is the most-common flavonoid, and is the one most studied in human health and disease. Quercetin is conjugated to different sugars, and when that sugar is rutinoside (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside), the compound is called “rutin”. Rutin is found in a wide variety of plants, is often added to quercetin in order to increase bioavailability, and itself is thought to have many properties that promote health. EnergyNeeds includes both quercetin and rutin. Side effects are rare at usual doses used in supplementation. There may be an interaction between quercetin and the fluoroquinolones class of antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin. Consult your physician especially if you are taking medications that may interact with dietary supplements.
