What's All the Fuss About Quercetin and Pterostilbene?
Western scientists began studying quercetin around the same time the Nobel Prize was awarded in 1937 for the discovery of vitamin C and rutin, a quercetin-containing bioflavonoid.
Recent studies suggest that exercise and antioxidant supplements may work against each other. In fact, one study even shows that certain antioxidants can cancel out some of the beneficial effects of exercise. So-called “direct” antioxidants (like vitamins C and E) react directly and quench free radicals. In a recent study, a group of 23 triathlon athletes took 250 mg of quercetin phytosome twice daily. A control group of 25 used none. At the end of the 14-day study, performance, post-training discomfort, cramps, time to full recovery and oxidative stress were measured.
Triathlon athletes had less post-run muscular discomfort and recovered faster with Quercetin phytosome.Overall, training was considered more valuable and both performance and endurance were improved in the group that supplemented with quercetin, compared to the control group. Participants taking the quercetin phytosome were able to reduce their time to complete the race by about 10 percent after two weeks. Some even reported that they found their experience to be more pleasant and less stressful!
Here is what researchers found with the quercetin phytosome group:
