What is Quercetin?

Quercetin belongs to a group of plant pigments called flavonoids. In addition to giving plants and flowers their color, flavonoids serve double duty by supplying a variety of health benefits. They can serve as antihistamines to help alleviate allergy symptoms as well as reduce swelling and inflammation that comes with many types of arthritis. It also serves as an antioxidant that kicks out free radicals from the body. Free radicals are particles that occur naturally in the body but can end up damaging cell membranes, genetic materials and play a part in the aging process and ailments such as heart disease.

Most vegetables and fruits that contain reddish hues contain Quercetin. Quercetin can be found in red apples, red onions, cherries, blueberries and even red wine. Other sources include grapes, oranges and other citrus fruits. In addition to food sources, quercetin can be taken as a supplement and is even the main ingredient in the FRS antioxidant energy drink found at WWW.TIRED-OF-BEING-TIRED.INFO. made so popular by champion cyclist and cancer survivor, Lance Armstrong.

Quercetin has already been tested and proven to help a variety of ailments. It decreases inflammation associated with allergies, while also alleviating asthma, hayfever and hives. Arthritis and fibromyalgia has been alleviated with quercetin, as have canker sores and prostrate ailments such as pain and swelling. Quercetin has also been used to help prevent heart disease, lower cholesterol levels and help prevent and treat cataracts and macular degeneration. The newest and most impressive research on the scene is proof that quercetin is an effective preventative against cancer and has been featured in some of the most cutting edge energy supplements - like the energy drink touted by champion cyclist and cancer survivor - Lance Armstrong.

Its incredible ability to enhance your body's energy system is what keeps you feeling energized longer.

So why not just eat more fruits and vegetables to get more Quercetin? It would be impossible to get the same amount of Quercetin found in FRS by eating fruits and vegetables. You'd have to eat 40 apples to get the same amount of Quercetin in one serving of FRS. Also, FRS's patented blend of Quercetin, vitamins, and metabolic enhancers is specifically designed to increase the amount of Quercetin that your body can absorb.
