Quercetin

Quercetin is a plant pigment (flavonoid) found in many fruits, vegetables, leaves, seeds, and grains; red onions, kale, green tea, apples, berries, Ginkgo biloba and St. John's wort in particular. The name has been used since 1857, and is derived from quercetum (oak forest), after the oak genus Quercus. In the past it has been used as a medicine, often in the form of Buckwheat tea, as the drink contains a lot of Quercetin. 

 

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a compound naturally found in many fruits and vegetables - particularly citrus fruits. It is included on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Vitamin C has several uses. The nutrient contributes to normal collagen production for the normal function of blood vessels, and Vitamin C also increases iron absorption. 

The compound’s history is notable. Indigenous Canadians used a drink created from tree bark (which includes Vitamin C) medicinally, and many other societies used citrus fruits (which we now know contain Vitamin C) medicinally as well. Albert Szent-Györgyi was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his actual discovery of Vitamin C, having isolated the vitamin from its natural sources. 

 

Rutin

Rutin is a combination of Quercetin and the sugar Rutinose, and is also a plant pigment (flavonoid) which is found in a lot of fruits - especially citrus. Its name comes from the plant ‘Ruta graveolens’, which also contains Rutin. Like Quercetin (and likely because Rutin contains Quercetin), Rutin has been used as a medicinal ingredient for centuries. The major sources of rutin for medical use include buckwheat, the Japanese pagoda tree, and eucalyptus.

 

Bromelain

Bromelain is an enzyme extract that is found in pineapples. It has been used extensively in folk medicine, and is also used in a number of cosmetics, topical medications, and meat tenderisers. The first isolation of Bromelain was recorded by the Venezuelan chemist Vicente Marcano in 1891 by fermenting the fruit of pineapple. It was investigated further in 1892 by a number of American chemists. 

Calcium

Calcium has several functions although it is probably most known for its use in bone health, particularly as the mineral helps to reduce the loss of bone mineral in post-menopausal women. Research has found that low bone mineral density is a risk factor for osteoporotic bone fractures. Other health benefits of Calcium include its required presence during the blood clotting process in addition to normal energy metabolism, muscle function, neurotransmission and cell division. Lastly, the mineral benefits digestive enzymes which are required to process foods and enhance metabolism.  

Suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.

Very happy and grateful customer
A great help for my breathing issues.

Every winter my breathing gets bad, and this winter it has been worse than usual. In November I was using my inhaler eight times per day (the maximum), but as my body adjusts to the cold I need it less, and by last week I was down to twice a day (once before I go to sleep, and once during the night). Anyway, three days ago I didn't need my inhaler at all, not even before bed or during the night. I assumed maybe I was just gradually getting used to the cold weather, but the next day I went for an hour and a half walk and again I didn't need my inhaler at all (recently, I had always needed my inhaler when I went for a walk during the winter). Then today I walked back from my friend's house, and as it's been colder today I thought I would almost certainly need my inhaler, but again my breathing was okay. I was a little out of breath, but just normal exercise out of breath, and I wasn't even close to needing my inhaler.

Then it occurred to me that three days ago was when I started taking the quercetin tablets I recently ordered from OV, and I wondered if that could be why my breathing was better. I didn't specifically buy the quercetin for my breathing, but the time-scale matched up perfectly, so it totally seemed connected. Anyway, OV emailed me today asking me to leave a review on TrustPilot. I was pretty certain I already left a positive review when I bought quercetin off them the first time a few years ago, so I logged into my account and sure enough I found my old review. Anyway, when I read my previous review I remembered that my breathing had also massively improved the last time I took quercetin (I bought the powder the first time, rather than the tablets). The first time I wasn't sure if it was because of the quercetin, or if it was just a coincidence, but now that my breathing has massively improved on both of the occasions that I took quercetin, it must surely be because of the quercetin.

Anyway, I've waffled a lot, but if you have breathing issues then I definitely recommend trying quercetin. I bought the powder the first time, and this time I got the tablets, and both of them made a massive positive difference, so I don't think it really matters which version you use. Obviously there are lots of different breathing issues, so it might not help with all breathing conditions, but it certainly helped me.

I'm very grateful to Oxford Vitality for selling quercetin, and once again, if anyone reading this has breathing issues then it might be worth giving quercetin a try (for reference, my breathing gets worse in the winter - my airwaves contract).

Quercetin Capsules

Bought these for my dog after wasting hundreds of pounds at the vet. He has seborrhea which is a hormone imbalance and apparently incurable. These have calmed his skin down and his itching has almost stopped. He still has the usual symptoms but at least they're manageable and he's comfortable. Time will tell but at the moment we're both happy.
