What is Quercetin?

There are many natural supplements that may help people with allergies and asthma. One of the most interesting is quercetin.

Quercetin is a plant compound found in foods like onions, apples, berries, and citrus fruit. It acts as an antioxidant and may help reduce inflammation and support the immune system. Quercetin appears to work even better when taken with vitamin C.

Why Vitamin C Helps

Vitamin C appears to improve the effectiveness of quercetin. The two nutrients work well together and both help support normal immune function and reduce oxidative stress.
