This \u003cstrong\u003equercetin\u003c\/strong\u003e from NOW Foods combines 800 mg of quercetin with 165 mg of bromelain from pineapple in two capsules. The quercetin is citrus-free, which is ideal if you prefer to avoid citrus fruits. A bottle of 120 capsules lasts one month when following the full daily dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat quercetin is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin is a flavonoid, a plant pigment that plants produce to protect themselves against UV light and insects. You probably already eat it every day without realizing it. It is found in onions, apples (especially in the skin), capers, kale, broccoli, and tea. However, you usually cannot get more than a few dozen milligrams per day from regular food. Chemically, quercetin is a molecule with multiple rings and hydroxyl groups (oxygen-hydrogen groups).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy bromelain is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin dissolves poorly in water. In this capsule, it is combined with bromelain. Bromelain is a mixture of protein-splitting enzymes (proteins that cut other proteins into smaller pieces) from the stem of the pineapple plant. Its activity is listed on the label as 2400 GDU per gram. GDU stands for gelatin-dissolving units, a measure of how active the enzyme is. Manufacturers often choose this combination in a capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore or with a meal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advice on the bottle is two capsules twice a day, about twenty minutes before eating. Many people wonder if it can also be taken with a sensitive stomach. The answer is: simply take the capsules with food. That is perfectly fine and much gentler on your stomach. At the full dosage, you get 1600 mg of quercetin and 330 mg of bromelain per day. That is a generous amount, so feel free to start with two capsules per day and see how you tolerate it. With 120 capsules, that gives you sixty days; at four per day, thirty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules are made of cellulose and, besides quercetin and bromelain, contain only rice flour, cellulose powder, magnesium stearate, and silica. They are made without yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, or nuts. Good to know: do not use them if you are allergic to pineapple, and consult your doctor if you use blood thinners, blood pressure medication, or cyclosporine. A quercetin supplement with a clear dosage and a short list of ingredients, without citrus.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816685326674,"sku":"Now-104","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/quercetine-met-bromelaine-now-foods.jpg?v=1790167030","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/quercetine-met-bromelaine-now-foods","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
