What Is Sophora Japonica Extract Quercetin ?

Quercetin is a plant pigment (flavonoid) that people sometimes take as a medicine. Flavonoids are antioxidants that neutralize and help avoid damage from free radicals. Free radicals are particles in your body that harm and even kill cells and cell membranes.

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.

Quercetin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that might help reduce swelling, kill cancer cells, control blood sugar, and help prevent heart disease.

Quercetin is most commonly used for conditions of the heart and blood vessels and to prevent cancer. It is also used for arthritis, bladder infections, and diabetes, but there is no strong scientific evidence to support most of these uses. There is also no good evidence to support using quercetin for COVID-19.
