The Only Phytosomal Quercetin Currently Available, Made By Trusted Company
Quercetin isn't absorbed as readily as we could use it and, therefore, has to be taken in somewhat high quantities for benefit. This product is, as of 2017, the only phytosomal Quercetin product on the market. Thorne is pretty much at the top of the game when it comes to making phytosomal forms of certain supplements for higher absorption and making higher quality supplements regardless of the form. We have noticed a difference in our family since taking it. All of us started it to aid in bowel healing after diagnosis of wheat allergy and we all began taking Quercetin to some benefit. When switching to the phytosomal form, Thorne's Quercetin Phytosome, at the same dose, we noticed increased improvement and a decrease in the side effect of mild stomach upset, which leads us to believe that it is more readily absorbed, leaving less of it to pass through the bowel or cause upset. That being said, it costs more and, if you can't afford it, a good quality supplement taken at a higher dose will aid you in healing your gut lining if that is your goal, even if it isn't phytosomal. Good luck in finding the product that suits your need.
