Quercenase - Quercetin chalcone and bromelain combination a potent, well-absorbed antioxidant formula provides cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and respiratory support made without lactose, preservatives, magnesium stearate, or other lubricants and diluents

Quercenase is a combination of water-soluble quercetin and bromelain . Bromelain is a compound of proteolytic enzymes derived from the pineapple plant. Bromelain has protein-digesting and immune-enhancing properties. Bromelain also contains constituents that help maintain the body's normal inflammatory response.

Quercetin appears to have many beneficial effects on human health, including cardiovascular protection , as well as protection of the gastrointestinal tract . A number of quercetin's effects appear to be due to its antioxidant activity. Quercetin scavenges free radicals and inhibits oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Quercetin also stabilizes mast cells that store and release histamine.

Regular quercetin is not water soluble and is poorly absorbed from an oral dose. Thorne Research's water-soluble quercetin is more bioavailable than regular quercetin.

PREGNANCY WARNING

If pregnant, consult your health-care practitioner before using this product.

INTERACTIONS

Because bromelain has fibrinolytic effects that may potentially inhibit blood clotting, Quercenase should be used with caution or avoided in individuals on anticoagulant therapy.

ADDITIONAL WARNINGS

It is not recommended to remove the Quercenase powder from the capsule, as bromelain can be irritating to the oral mucosa.
