The Protective Qualities of Quercetin

The news of the protective qualities of quercetin has everyone talking. That’s because many researchers have been conducting studies over the last few years revealing the natural safeguards quercetin provides to the human body. One of the main reasons people are drawn to quercetin is o to the fact that more are turning to holistic remedies and relying on the body’s own immune response abilities.* 

A recent study published in MDPI references a form of quercetin that is up to 20 times more absorbable than regular quercetin that was shown to have a protection factor of 14% more against contracting the “C problem” compared to those given the placebo. In fact, one of the participants of the study who contracted the virus had a complete clinical remission in only 7 days, compared to 15 days to remission for 4 members of the placebo group who contracted the virus.*†

The form of quercetin used in the study is called Quercetin Phytosome®, the same used in our very own Quercetin Phytosome formula here at Emerald Labs.*†

What Medical Publications Have to Say About Quercetin

PubMed states, “Several studies highlight the potential use of quercetin as an antiviral, due to its ability to inhibit the initial stages of virus infection, to be able to interact with proteases important for viral replication, and to reduce inflammation caused by infection.”*†

BioMedCentral says “Flavonoids are the most abundant polyphenols in the human diet. Flavonoids include anthocyanins, flavonols, flavanones, flavones, and isoflavones and quercetin (3,3′,4′,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) is one of the most important compounds in the group of flavonoids. The compound [quercetin] has a wide range of health, biological, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune system regulation, and cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects.*†

According to researchers at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute…*†

“A cell has a lock, and the virus has a key [to enter and infect the cell], but quercetin puts glue in the lock.”

Quercetin, an antioxidant found in many fruits and vegetables, may help reduce the risk of you getting sick. It does this by neutralizing free radicals which are particles that cause damage to our cells’ membranes or kill our cells.*†

Quercetin also has potent anti-viral abilities shown to help strengthen how the immune response fights potential illnesses. But what other superpowers does quercetin possess?*† 

  • Relieving allergy symptoms: Studies show that allergy symptoms like asthma can be helped with the use of quercetin, as it helps restrict histamine from being released from the cells.*†

4 Simple Ways To Support A Healthy Immune Response

boost immunity

It’s that time of year again! Fall leaves, pumpkin spice, and gathering with friends around the warm glow of a crackling fire…

If you crave this time of year as much as I do, then you might already be stocking up on the must-have seasonal essentials…

But there’s one more must-have for this time of year that many people often overlook — and it’s one you can’t go without……

It’s a top-notch immune response of course!

See, most of us are born with an immune response capable of warding off many unwanted invaders. This system is designed to protect the body from germs in order to keep itself healthy.

However, due to our sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits, and the pandemic, many are in need of an immune reboot.

It’s even more necessary with the cold weather that has already begun to creep its way across the country.

Not to worry though. We’ve got some tips that may help improve the body’s immune response, setting you up for a more enjoyable and relaxing experience during the cold months.

1. Quercetin

Derived from natural sources like citrus, sage, thyme, apples, and blueberries; quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid that provides free radical support.

It also helps balance the fiery storms of unbalanced inflammatory factors. We can easily re-ignite many of our natural immune responses to support a more revitalized and overall sense of well-being.

Our highly effective unique formulation uses Sophora Japonica leaf extract, which helps increase absorption up to 20X. (1)

2. Increase Vitamin D Intake

During the colder months, people tend to stay indoors more often which reduces the amount of time they are exposed to sunlight.

This drop in Vitamin D, which is crucial to immune defense activation, has been linked to a weakened immune response. The great thing about Vitamin D is that it provides many benefits to the body, including:

3. Trametes Versicolor (aka Turkey Tail Mushroom)

While this nutrient is quite a mouthful to pronounce but this fungus has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote health and wellness. Known for its striking colors (hence the name “turkey tail”) it’s been used for centuries to help treat various conditions.

They contain something called Polysaccaropeptides (PSP) which poses powerful immunity enhancing properties by helping to activate and inhibite specific cells associated with stronger immune responses.

Our Deep Immune contains 1000mg of this impressive super-nutrient, in addition to 3 other powerful promoters of immune health. 

4. Zinc

Zinc is one of the most common trace elements found in the body and supports over 300 enzymes that aid in metabolism, digestion, nerve function, and many other processes, including healthy immune support.

It does this by stimulating certain immune cells and reducing oxidative stress. Common signs of low Zinc levels are hair loss, growth delay, a weakened immune response, and loss of appetite. (3)
