Overview

Quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in onions, apples, and capers. It is well known in natural medicine as an antihistamine and immune booster. In the realm of longevity, quercetin has gained massive prominence as a 'senolytic'—a compound that helps the body identify and clear out senescent 'zombie' cells that drive the aging process.

Safety & Considerations

May interfere with certain antibiotics and blood thinners. Periodic cycling (e.g., 5 days on, 2 days off) is sometimes recommended for senolytic protocols.

Benefits

Stabilizes mast cells to reduce allergy symptoms
Acts as a powerful senolytic to clear aging cells
Boosts immune defense, especially alongside Zinc
Reduces systemic inflammation
Improves cardiovascular endurance

How It Works

Quercetin inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells. It also acts as an ionophore for Zinc, helping push zinc into cells where it can halt viral replication. In aging, it selectively induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in harmful, inflammatory senescent cells.

Common Uses

Seasonal allergy relief
Senolytic anti-aging protocols
Immune system defense
Endurance sports

Typical Protocol

500mg-1,000mg daily. Often taken with Vitamin C or Bromelain to enhance its relatively low absorption rate.
