Quercetin Helps Veins Function Better

Inflammation is common, especially when a person is under high stress or in a state of wear and tear for whatever reason.  In these situations the circulatory system, including your heart, most copes with an increased inflammatory burden.  A new study shows that quercetin can rather dramatically stabilize small blood vessels relating to your veins, helping reduce fluid retention and specifically boost the structural integrity of your heart.
Your circulatory system must maintain a level of “tightness” regarding the structure of its small parts. Otherwise, the pressure going through it leaks and causes inefficiency.  Part of your microcirculation involves picking up blood cells that have spent their oxygen.  These must be sent back through your veins to pick up more oxygen in your lungs.  While these tiny venules are porous by design, they can readily become irritated by anything inflammatory, making them too porous and not tight enough to function properly.  This leads to fluid accumulation and a much higher risk for inappropriate clotting.  In the current study quercetin was shown to stabilize the circulatory cells involved so they did not become too leaky.
While such a problem can happen anywhere in the microcirculation around your body, it can specifically happen in the microcirculation of the heart itself, leading to inflammatory fluid buildup and reduced heart function.  Quercetin can be added to the list of circulatory protective compounds such as DHA Docosahexaenoic acid Essential omega 3 fatty acid integral to the health of all cell membranes, nerve and brain function. Must be gotten through the diet via cold water oceanic fish or some very limited plant sources or taken as a supplement., tocotrienol Specialized form of vitamin E. Powerful antioxidant showing positive benefits for cholesterol, cardiovascular, neurological health and cancer risk reduction. E, grape seed extract, and horse chestnut.

Quercetin for Allergic Asthma

For two decades, quercetin has claimed nutritional fame as the most potent natural anti-histamine available.  Numerous studies have demonstrated that quercetin reduces allergic immune response by modulating inflammatory signals at the gene level.  A new animal study demonstrates that a single dose of quercetin can have a potent bronchodilator effect, offering a potential strategy for people with asthma looking for natural ways to help assist them.

Hyperactivity of the airways is a major problem in allergic asthma.  In this study scientists induced experimental allergic asthma in guinea pigs.  A single dose of quercetin significantly reduced the allergic airway response.  The dose used was approximately 500 mg of quercetin per 50 pounds of weight.  In other words, adults could try 1,500 mg to 2,000 mg as a single dose to see if it helps calm down allergy related breathing problems.

Quercetin has always excelled in the pollen season as well as the flu season.  It continues to demonstrate a wide range of helpful immune system support properties.  Any person struggling with any type of allergy should always give quercetin a try.
