Quercetin for Immune System Health now Available from CAIF

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 18, 2020 - PRLog -- CAIF, a market leader for botanical extracts, fruits and vegetable powders, is introducing to the supplements and pharmaceutical markets a new formula of the well known flavonoid quercetin, as an aid to the development of a healthy, strong immune system, and an efficient weapon against infectious diseases. Quercetin is one of the most powerful flavonoids found naturally in various types of plants. It has been extensively studied for its extraordinary comprehensive health benefits, largely related to its antioxidant activity in the body and its ability in helping to combat free radical damage — a link to chronic disease.

This new formula is now available to US and global manufacturers in the supplements and pharmaceutical industries, and is available for immediate delivery.

"People the world over are now, more than ever, concerned with staying healthy as well as improving their general physical condictions," said Cesar Fernandes, chief executive officer of CAIF. "The immune system benefits of quercetin cannot be overstated as research has shown a link between an increased consumption of flavonoids, including quercetin, and a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and other debilitating problems due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects."

Known as a potent antioxidant, quercetin has been shown to prevent the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) by reacting with free radicals. The oxidation of LDL results in the formation of clots and plaques which cause cardiovascular disease.

A similar condition takes place in human brain tissues as brain lipid membranes are subject to oxidation, leading to accumulation of amyloid peptides which cause neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

While there is no one 'magic bullet' that can be taken for good health, the benefits of quercetin include helping to fight off allergies by inhibiting the release of histamine; help in decreasing the seriousness of numbness, jolting pain, and irritation for patients with type 2 diabetes neuropathy; and potential obesity reduction by blocking adipogenesis (creation of fat cells) and inducing apoptosis of mature adipocytes (death of fat cells).

Quercetin is safely marketed as a dietary supplement, mostly as glucosides, which show higher absorption rates than its isolated aglucone form, and frequently in daily doses of up to 1000 mg once per day. Among the numerous published human intervention studies, adverse effects following supplemental quercetin intake have been rarely reported and any such effects were mild in nature.

CAIF is one of the main suppliers of quercetin in North America, with natural extracts containing 98% of quercetin and local inventory to better serve the nutritional supplements and pharmaceutical industries.
