Quercefit®

Quercefit®

滚动查看更多

Pharmacokinetics innovation1

Quercefit® provides an optimized quercetin solubility, proving up to 20-fold more bioabsorbed than unformulated quercetin, remaining in line with a diet rich in vegetables and fruits. Therefore, it can be used at lower dosages, while still offering the benefits of a quercetin full serving.

According to a trial on 12 participants (aged 18-50) supplemented with one oral dose of either 500 mg unformulated quercetin, 250 mg of Quercefit® or 500 mg of Quercefit®, Quercefit® optimizes quercetin plasma levels (Figure 1).

Peer-reviewed science on Quercefit®

Physical function2,3

A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled human study recruited 78 healthy individuals with chronic fatigue-like symptoms to evaluate the positive effects of supplementing Quercefit® (500 mg/day) after a 2-month period from the baseline visit. Data from the Quercefit® group showed significant improvements in all parameters measured, including fatigue score (FIS-40 scale), sleep quality (PSQI scale) and physical performance (SPPB test), compared to both the baseline and the placebo group (Figure 2).

In a trial conducted on 48 non-professional triathlon athletes, Quercefit® showed positive effects on training, performance and ache relief: the group supplemented with Quercefit® ran faster (-11.3% time from start to finish line, compared to -3.9% in the control group). In addition, post-run muscular discomfort, cramps and recovery time all improved with Quercefit®, and oxidative stress was balanced.

Quercefit® and longevity4

Quercefit® may exert functions as a senolytic agent by supporting healthy cell turnover: on top of its strong antioxidant activity, quercetin may play a key role in longevity, contributing to a positive healthspan.

By promoting cellular renewal and a healthy inflammatory response, it nurtures beauty from within—helping to reveal a healthier, more radiant you on the outside.

Optimization in allergy-related discomforts and quality of life5-7

Quercefit® shows a potential promising effect during allergy season. A further study confirms that after 30 days, administration optimizes general wellbeing in allergy-prone subjects and modulates rhinitis, in addition to reducing the frequency of intermittent discomforts up to 50% during the day and up to 70% during the night.

In another study on Japanese subjects, repeated oral intake of a Quercefit®-containing supplement for 4 weeks has been shown to reduce allergy-related symptoms (both for seasonal and annual allergens) such as eye itching, sneezing, nasal discharge and sleep disorders compared to the placebo group (n=66).

Moreover, the treated group also experienced improved quality of life, as reported in the chart below (Figure 3).

Early supplementation with Quercefit® is proven to positively modulate the immune system’s response upon exposure to allergens - in a validated, standard histamine test - resulting effective also in healthy subjects.

Quercefit® and virus exposure8-10

Exploiting the pleiotropic properties of quercetin thanks to Indena Phytosometechnology, Quercefit® allows to counteract main symptoms emerging after virus exposure.

Quercefit® effectiveness has been valideted in multiple human studies in subjects tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.

Participants received either standard care alone or in combination with Quercefit® as an add-on supplement (500 mg 2 or 3 times daily).
The results showed that those who received Quercefit® alongside standard care experienced faster recovery and overall better health outcomes compared to the control group, in particular, the supplementation led to:

  • faster recovery (in one of the studies 68% of the participants in the Quercefit® group recovered within one week, versus just 24% in the control group - Figure 4);
  • milder symptoms; 
  • improved biomarkers (such as reduced LDH levels);
  • improved resilience (reduced fatigue and tiredness, healthy appetite).

Allergic conjunctivitis? Try Quercefit® as complementary treatment11

Confirming its beneficial role for ocular allergy-related disorders, a study performed on adults affected by allergic conjunctivitis showed that Quercefit® may potentially be the perfect natural aid to avoid clinical worsening. In particular, an analysis on 15 subjects after 15 days of supplementation (250 mg, twice a day) highlighted significant improvements in terms of Total Ocular Symptoms Score (TOSS) (Figure 5).

Prompt wellbeing restoration for injured eyes12

A series of 8 case studies have confirmed that Quercefit® can be the perfect ally for eye health, during topical antibiotic therapy on damaged ocular tissues (Figure 6).
