  An Innovation That Started In The Gym 
 
 While owning a 500-member Athletic Club in the 1970s, Jeff Pedersen, former USC Baseball Captain and 3x National Champion, wondered how he might help his members achieve a better, more consistent, and motivational workout. Using his years of experience in training and fitness, Jeff began developing the now well-known Sweet Sweat gel. After four years of successful physical and observational testing on his club members, Sweet Sweat hit the market. Today, Sweet Sweat has expanded to include a wide range of highly functional workout tools, including the best-selling Sweet Sweat Waist Trimmer.

Quercetin is a flavonoid, a plant pigment found in onions, apples, capers, berries and green tea. It is one of the most common flavonoids in the human diet and works mainly as an antioxidant, helping neutralise unstable molecules called free radicals.

On its own, quercetin has fairly low bioavailability because it is poorly soluble and quickly metabolised. In foods it is often bound to sugars (as glycosides), which can improve absorption. Supplements may use forms such as quercetin phytosome or dihydrate, and are sometimes combined with vitamin C or bromelain to aid uptake. Once absorbed, quercetin influences cell signalling pathways involved in the body's normal inflammatory response and also appears to help stabilise mast cells, which release histamine. This is why it is popular during allergy season (see the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements and published reviews on flavonoids).

• May help support the body's antioxidant defences
• May help support a healthy response to seasonal environmental triggers
• May help support healthy histamine balance
• May help support exercise recovery
• May help support general wellbeing as a source of dietary flavonoids

Should I take quercetin with vitamin C?

They are often combined because vitamin C is thought to help the body recycle quercetin and may support absorption. Many people find the combination convenient, but quercetin can also be taken on its own. Taking it with a meal containing some fat can help.

Can I take quercetin every day?

Many people take it daily for a period of time, following the label directions. Because it can interact with some medicines, it is worth checking with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Quercetin may interact with some medicines, including blood thinners, certain antibiotics and drugs processed by the liver. Speak to your healthcare professional if you take medication, are pregnant or are breastfeeding.
