PHP's Quercetin Plus activates natural defense systems

Quercetin is a flavonoid and powerful antioxidant that occurs naturally in plants – and helps to defend them against temperature extremes, toxins and disease. Researchers maintain that quercetin can help humans as well.
Quercetin combats toxicity through several different mechanisms. The flavonoid preserves the metabolism of energy, of fatty acids and of s*x hormones. It also reduces oxidative stress, protects against damage to cell DNA, and helps support kidney and liver function.
In animal studies, researchers found that quercetin protects brain-cell function and prevents brain-cell death. In addition, quercetin boosts natural defense systems by activating glutathione – the body’s premier antioxidant – and by increasing levels of paraoxonase 2, a potent scavenger of the free radicals that damage cell mitochondrial membranes.
In another study, researchers found that quercetin – by reducing oxidative stress and mitochondrial swelling.
Even more impressive is the fact that quercetin didn’t just “improve” levels of beneficial enzymes and antioxidants – it reversed the deficits, restoring the substances to normal, healthy levels.
With harmful threats in our environment and our lives, quercetin is proving its value as a safe and natural line of defense.
