Quercetin is one of the best known phytochemicals, and more precisely bioflavonoids, which are found mainly in fruits and vegetables, but also in herbs and leaves, which are usually the main source of extracts in food supplements. The beneficial effects of quercetin are mainly due to its ability to act as an antioxidant (compound that acts as a neutralizer of free radicals in our body). Free radicals are molecules that can damage the body on a cellular level when levels get too high. Free radical damage has been linked to numerous chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Quercetin, in addition to its antioxidant effect, can help neutralize inflammation. Quercetin helps to counteract the negative activity of solar radiation. It helps to counteract the action of free radicals and cellular aging, acting as a true natural "anti-aging" substance, in particular against premature skin aging.
