Quercetin is among the most studied flavanoid i.e. poilabilitylyphenol due to its perceived highly anti-inflammatory nature. However, its low bioavailability is a constraint for its medical use. Isoquercetin, its sister molecule is found to be better absorbed & converted to quercetin, so advocated for medication by some authors. Some other argue dihydro-quercetin is more clinically effective and advisable in therapy. How common are isoquercetin & dihydro quercetin, they better than quercetin wrt effect, bioavailability?
Quercetin is a flavonoid that has been extensively studied for its anti-inflammatory properties. However, its low bioavailability is a constraint for its medical use. Isoquercetin and dihydroquercetin are two derivatives of quercetin that have been proposed as potential alternatives due to their improved bioavailability and clinical effectiveness.
Isoquercetin is a glycoside of quercetin and is better absorbed in the gut, which means that more of it reaches the bloodstream and can be utilized by the body. Dihydroquercetin is a hydrogenated form of quercetin, which has been suggested to be more clinically effective than quercetin. It is worth noting that while these derivatives may have improved bioavailability, there is limited clinical data available on their safety and efficacy. Therefore, more research is needed to fully understand the benefits and risks of these molecules.
