QUERCETIN-BROMELAIN COMPLEX

Quercetin-Bromelain Complex is a unique formulation of quercetin, buffered vitamin C, and bromelain. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid that has antioxidant activity to support vascular and immune cell function. Magnesium ascorbate is a buffered form of vitamin C, a key antioxidant, which synergistically supports the quercetin activity. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme purified from pineapple. Quercetin increases mucus secretion from gastric cells. The mucus polysaccharide provides a protective buffer for the gastric cells from the low pH of the stomach contents. The reduced contact provides gastric support. Lastly, quercetin also supports the normal immune response to antigens. Quercetin inhibits the IgE-mediated release from mast cells as well as IgG-mediated histamine release. Bromelain is a supportive enzyme in the gastrointestinal tract. Bromelain assists in the breakdown of large macromolecular protein complexes. This reduces the chance that these complexes will leave the stomach untou
