Comments on: 100 Quercetin Foods: Best Natural Sources Ranked https://superfoodly.com/quercetin-foods/ Tue, 16 Feb 2021 19:25:41 +0000 hourly 1 By: Hemeiron https://superfoodly.com/quercetin-foods/#comment-76274 Mon, 01 Feb 2021 15:35:30 +0000 https://superfoodly.com/?p=7686#comment-76274 Yikes. You put dock on the list. DO NOT EAT DOCK.

It is loaded with oxalic acid. This hinders nutrient absorption if you eat it daily. It can also poison you. Dock should only be eaten sparingly, or by people who have a genetic adaptation to it, namely native peoples who’ve had thousands of years to become accustomed to it. And even then they do not eat it every day.

Sites like this are frustrating because they need daily content to stay in business so they’ll basically publish anything at all, no matter the quality. Their little disclaimer protects them from legal liability which is why they have no problem publishing information, that, if actually used, could sicken or kill people. If they were just so sure about the “facts” here, there would be no disclaimer.

If for one have put this site in my blocked list so I never even accidentally navigate here ever again.

BTW some dates shown are from years ago not current to med/ political concerns. It seems that Jay is informed on science. I appreciate that. We all need to help each other. Stay focused on the prize not the minusha.

You seem to have a lot of useful information, however, a bit arrogant. Either you’re an employee or just bored.

Heading to my local healthful store where I’m served with a good old fashioned smile

Epicatechin is nearly 60% as effective as HCQ as a zinc ionophore. Aronia has the highest ORAC (anti oxidant) score of any fruit ever tested.

The plant is very easy to grow from inexpensive bare-root saplings. Production is prolific if given adequate water and Miracle Grow once a year. Once the plant is established, just a drip irrigation during the hot days of June and July is all that is required if you want maximum production. The plant is also a lovely ornamental hedge or bush. Leaves turn magenta and orange during Autumn. The Viking variety has smaller berries than the McKenzie. The bushes grow similarly. Bushes can grow 7ft or so. Can plant 4ft center on line for a hedge that still allows for harvesting as bushes are fuller than redtwig-dogwood but not dense like, say, boxwood. Bellbrook Berry Farm in WI used to sell bareroot plants over the Autumn/Winter/Spring at cheap price for bundles. Raintree Nursery and Burntridge Nursery both in WA sell the plants.

The berries are more dry like cranberry rather than wet like raspberry. They are dense and firm. Can easily dry the berries; then grind into powder at time of use like you do with coffee beans. The powder will taste sweet. The raw juice is tart. The juice and fiber of the blendered berries will numb back of throat and give sensation of food being lodged there. If you add some whey protein powder to the smoothie, it will nullify this choke effect. … Also can freeze berries then add to soups and salads the way people add grapes; eating the berries this way has less choke effect, if any. Actually, it is the liquid—the juice & fiber—that has the effect most noticeably.

bromelain is an enzyme which breaks down proteins. You should suspect that first before quercetin. But of course you attack the quercetin because it is known to be an zinc ionophore just like that HCQ drug Trump has recommended.

Whenever the animal studies are promising for a nutritional substance, they are disregarded as not applicable to humans. However, if the animal studies appear to show something negative, then they are presented as truly applicable to humans. …. Thus is the paradigm of the globalists who control the pharmaceutical-medical-agri-chemical-industrial-complex.

Furthermore, how much more does a man weigh than a mouse? Does that not affect dose.

I had been taking Now brand quercetin with bromelain, as directed, on an empty stomach. After a couple of weeks, I developed low grade stomach pain. The product label said those with sensitive stomachs could take with food, but I didn’t consider myself to have a sensitive stomach, and I thought nausea would be the effect if that were the case. Nope. I did some googling and found that stomach pain and heartburn can certainly result. Ok, mystery solved (I hope!).
I stopped taking the quercetin, but even after a couple of days the stomach pain persisted. I figured it had irritated/inflamed my stomach lining. Pepcid AC helped, but I prefer something more natural, if possible/effective.
I got some aloe vera juice by Nature’s Way, and found it to be very helpful, my stomach feels more normal.
After a few days of healing/soothing my stomach, I’ll try the quercetin again, but WITH FOOD.
I’m taking it for AMPK activation and to see if it helps with seasonal allergies. I think it has enhanced my weight loss, so I’d like to be able to take it, but if I can’t take it without developing stomach issues, I won’t be able to take it. :-(

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7140862

.1% of one pound of food is about 450mg
however
larger doses of quercetin (1000mg) taken weekly or bi-weekly may work as a senolytic

Regarding colds/flus do people tend to just take it when they feel a cold coming on or is this a supplement people will take daily as a preventative?
