• Participant gender: All

Summary

In 1937, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi received a Nobel Prize for discovering vitamin C and flavonoids, as well as for exploring their biochemical properties. Originally, he gave the flavonoids the name "vitamin P" because of their effectiveness in reducing the permeability of blood vessels. This name was abandoned when it was realized that these substances were not really vitamins.

Quercetin is extracted from a variety of plant sources, including the onion peel and the seeds and pods of Dimorphandra mollis, a legume tree native to South America.

Although we are far from knowing everything about quercetin, its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antihistamine (antiallergic) properties have been observed in numerous in vitro and animal studies.
