Quercetin has been called king of the flavonoids because of its marked antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Those cultures, which consume more quercetin have lower rates of heart disease, according to the Zupthen Elderly Study. Quercetin is also known for its ability to stabilize mast cells and help control allergies. It also has applications in the management of gut inflammation, and it is now being researched for its neuroprotective properties and its ability to reduce inflammation in prostatitis.1

Recent research done at Cornell points to another way quercetin alleviates sneezing and cool inflamed tissues. [2]

Cancer
Quercetin is used as a preventive and therapeutic nutrient for cancer. It reinforces the immune system as well as accelerates the production of certain natural detoxifying enzymes that rid the body of potential carcinogens. It alleviates inflammation and works to rid the body of malignant growths. [2] According to animal studies, high-dose quercetin therapy slows the development of many different types of cancer. [4] In people, it stops the growth of leukemia cells and protects against the development of breast cancer cells. [5]
