Quercetin is a naturally occurring secondary plant substance from the flavonoid group. The substance belongs to the natural polyphenols and serves both humans and plants as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger!

Plants protect themselves with the help of the nutrient against environmental conditions, such as predators and the damage caused by UV radiation. Humans can benefit from its health-promoting and antioxidant effects in several ways. As a free radical scavenger, quercetin reduces oxidative stress triggered by environmental side effects. Oxidative stress occurs, for example, during high levels of pollution, particulate matter, or as a result of allergies.

Occurrence of the plant substance

The nutrient is found in foods such as onions, apples, broccoli or green beans. However, the estimated daily dietary intake in Western countries is only 20 to 25 mg, with the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables being crucial in this regard. When the peels of these foods are removed, however, the quercetin content decreases, so that the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects are hardly effective.

According to various studies, the plant substance has limited to almost no bioavailability. In order to benefit from the positive properties, experts recommend an additional intake of dietary supplements.

The liposomal alternative: developed by nutritionists

ActiNovo's natural quercetin comes from the extract of the flower buds of the Japanese cord tree. The flowers of this tree are used in traditional Chinese medicine as a green tea extract and in numerous dishes. The substance is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle and is also gaining increasing attention in Western countries due to its antioxidant effect. Numerous doctors see quercetin as a promising substance to provide a natural alternative for the relief of allergy symptoms in the future.

To ensure the absorption of the nutrient, we have encapsulated the plant substance in high doses in liposomes. Compared to conventional dietary supplements, such as capsules and powders, a significantly higher bioavailability and, above all, development of the effect in the body can be achieved in this way.

The liquid ActiNovo product was developed by nutritionists and contains 250 mg of natural quercetin per 10 ml daily dose. This 250 mg of quercetin is equivalent to 2 kg of apples that you would have to eat to absorb the same amount! The product is vegan, allergen-free and free of harmful substances.
