Quercitrin is found in a variety of plants, including oak trees, onions, kale, broccoli, apples, and berries. It is also found in some herbs and spices, such as sage, oregano, and thyme.
Health Benefits[edit | edit source]
Research has suggested that quercitrin may have several potential health benefits. These include antioxidant properties, which can help protect the body's cells from damage. Quercitrin may also have anti-inflammatory effects, which could help reduce inflammation in the body. Some studies have also suggested that quercitrin may have anticancer properties, although more research is needed in this area.
Safety and Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Quercitrin is generally considered safe when consumed in the amounts typically found in foods. However, high doses of quercitrin may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is also possible that quercitrin could interact with certain medications, so it is important to talk to a healthcare provider before taking quercitrin supplements.
