Question 1

What is the origin of quercetin?

Accepted Answer

Quercetin was first discovered in 1857 by the French chemist Pierre-Joseph Pelletier, who isolated it from the bark of the cinchona tree. However, its importance for well-being has become better understood over time thanks to research and scientific advances. Since then, quercetin has been identified in many other plant based foods, and its potential and effects are being studied, particularly for use as a food supplement.

Question 2

What is quercetin?

Accepted Answer

Quercetin is a flavonoid naturally present in many foods such as fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids are pigments that give their colours to plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables. Its effect is boosted by the presence of vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E, B vitamins). These compounds naturally present in plants have many effects on the body, the main one being to support the wall of the capillaries (the smallest blood vessels) and to contribute to their permeability. Research into the benefits of quercetin is still ongoing, and no specific benefit can be confirmed with certainty at this stage.

Question 3

Which foods are rich in quercetin?

Accepted Answer

Quercetin is naturally found in many plant based foods (especially fruits and vegetables). Foods rich in quercetin include red onions and shallots, apples, berries (such as strawberries, blueberries and raspberries), citrus fruits, cherries, red grapes, red wine, tomatoes, broccoli, green tea, dark chocolate, leafy green vegetables (such as spinach and kale), and herbs such as parsley and thyme. Quercetin is mainly found in the skin and outer part of foods, so it is best to eat them with their skin or to cook them lightly to preserve their quercetin content.

Question 4

What are the side effects of quercetin?

Accepted Answer

Quercetin is generally considered safe when consumed in the recommended amounts. In case of overdose, the potential side effects of quercetin may include gastrointestinal disorders such as stomach aches, nausea, vomiting or headaches. Some people may also experience allergic reactions to quercetin, manifested by skin rashes, itching, swelling of the face or breathing difficulties. We strongly recommend consulting your doctor before starting a new routine and finding out about potential interactions if you are taking prescription medication or treatment.
