I love it for allergies and anti oxidant properties

I’ve read up on some absorption issues with this specific supplement. Few companies out there doing different kinds like “bio-quercetin” or “phytosome”

Normal quercetin is good for daily use.
Those are even lower doses, too. Ours will be 500mg. We priced out the other forms, but the cost did not justify the increase over just using a higher dose of regular quercetin. This is one where taking with food actually does help with bioavailability, too. Sometimes using a bioavailability enhancement strategy is worth the cost, but I don't think that is the case with quercetin. It's also not absorption that is the issue, but efflux back out. However, there is evidence it is reabsorbed anyway after efflux. Since we have evidence that daily supplementation of normal quercetin increases plasma levels in healthy humans, I did not feel it was necessary to go with a high-cost version.
