1) What's the bioavailability of this quercetin formulation? It seems like there are several different forms of quercetin (glucoside, aglycone, etc), but also formulations (enteric, liposomal, etc) that change the bioavailability considerably.
2) Any personal anecdotes from you or your staff on this one?
3) As someone who uses quercetin daily to mitigate autoimmune issues (it helps a TON with inflammation & histamine), I'm VERY HAPPY that I can buy from y'all! I trust you guys more than most other vendors - plus the price is quite a bit cheaper too!

I actually just discussed that last week.

The moral of the story is that regular quercetin at 500mg taken regularly increases serum level in humans. The other forms of quercetin do offer improved bioavailability, but not to a degree that warrants the massive increase in price. Some of them are like 2X bioavailable, but 8X the price. Why not just take double the dose of regular quercetin and save the money? I still might offer a higher-bioavailability one at some point, but I think normal quercetin at 500mg is good for most people.

I've been taking quercetin and a couple other flavonoids since the start of this pandemic. I can't really talk about it for legal reasons, but you can absolutely search and find interesting info on it.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the support! We always try to be the cheapest on everything if we can. This is why I am always thrown back when people say we are higher priced than others. If you calculate per mg, we are the cheapest on many things. I just don't play the pricing games other sites do to trick people, like having a dose be two capsules and things like that. If we have a two capsule dose, that's because we couldn't fit it into one without it being too massive to swallow, not because we want people to think they are getting more than they actually are. Of course we can't be the lowest price on everything, but that should just make people question how others can make it work for that price. If we are more expensive than others on something, there is a reason for that. That reason is not we want more margins. That means to do it right it costs us more. Some things cost us $2,000-$3,000 PER BATCH to properly test, like if we have to do 2D NMR for structural elucidation or assay of things that don't respond well on HPLC/UPLC/LCMS. Anyway, didn't mean to rant. I just always shake my head when I see people saying they love us, but we are higher priced. If they could see what goes on in the background, and see how much things cost, they would think very differently. We ALWAYS try to be the best priced if we can.
