REAL BENEFITS
What isQuercetin
Quercetin is a flavonoid antioxidant found in many plants as well as some fruits and vegetables. It plays an important role in the inhibition of enzymes involved in free radical production and can potentially be used to alleviate oxidative stress.
In addition to the many antioxidant health benefits of quercetin, it offers performance benefits that you can feel. Scientists believe quercetin works at the cellular level to produce and sustain your own natural energy by protecting and enhancing the production of mitochondria in your muscle cells. Mitochondria are sometimes described as “cellular power plants” because they generate most of the cell’s supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of energy.
“Resulting from quercetin’s role in providing increased energy by your cells, meta-analysis studies have demonstrated a 3% increase in performance in both trained and untrained subjects. 3% is a highly significant level of improvement whether you are a weekend warrior or a world-class athlete.”
Dr. David Nieman, Director, Human Performance Lab – North Carolina Research Center
Power of Quercetin
Quercetin has been widely studied for a host of benefits that boost health and performance. With over 20,000 scientific studies ranging from in vitro to animal to human clinical trials, quercetin has been shown to positively influence many critical areas of your long-term health and well-being, most notably offering immune system support and performance benefits.
The World's Purest Quercetin®
Our science team has spent many years developing our proprietary extraction and purification process to maximize quercetin availability. We can now produce quercetin which is 99.5% pure, extracted and purified from the quercetin-rich medicinal plants Uncaria Elliptica and Fava D’Anta which we grow on our own farms in Brazil. Uncaria Elliptica and Fava D’Anta are fully traceable and respect biodiversity on the borders of the Brazilian Amazon Rain Forest.
Our QU995™ is The World’s Purest Quercetin® commercially available and is also used extensively by doctors and scientists conducting studies worldwide.
Safeand natural
QU995™ has had GRAS Notified Status (Generally Recognized as Safe) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since November 22, 2010 (GRN 341).
In 2009 and 2010, with assistance from commercial partners, we conducted multiple drug-drug interaction studies. No adverse effects were reported at the recommended dose of up to 1.5 grams of Quercetin per day, which is the equivalent of 6 Q-Force chews (250 milligrams per chew).
Additionally, there have been no clinical adverse events or biochemical signs of toxicity in any of the human studies in which Q-Force’s patented QB3C® formula has been involved to date.
Sources ofQuercetin
Quercetin is found in small amounts in many fruits and vegetables and is the critical flavonoid which makes them “superfoods.” Due to their wide consumption, apples are a major source of dietary quercetin for the general public. Other common foods containing quercetin include berries, parsley, capers, buckwheat, onions, and peppers.
Unfortunately, it’s difficult to get as much quercetin from these foods as nutritionists and dieticians would like us to consume. Q-Force can help to fill in that gap. As you can see below, just one Q-Force chew has the same amount of Quercetin as approximately 20 cooked onions!
