Product Description:

Quercetin dihydrate is a flavonoid aglycone, specifically the dihydrate form of quercetin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone). It is a yellow crystalline powder that is practically insoluble in water but soluble in alkaline solutions and certain organic solvents. It is a widely studied natural product found in many fruits, vegetables, and medicinal plants. Its primary applications are in the fields of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and life science research. It is extensively investigated for its broad spectrum of biological activities, including potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticancer properties. It is a common active ingredient in dietary supplements and is studied as a potential therapeutic agent or lead compound for various diseases, such as cardiovascular disorders, metabolic syndrome, and certain cancers. Its mechanism of action is complex and involves modulation of multiple signaling pathways and enzymes. Due to its strong chelating and redox properties, it also finds use as a research tool in biochemical assays and as a standard for analytical purposes. Safety data indicates it is generally well-tolerated at dietary levels, but high pharmacological doses may have side effects and require careful evaluation.
