Fruits vegetables with quercetin 300x205 Quercetin Study Update Smart Energy Drink IngredientQuercetin update

Here’s an update on a previous study of Quercetin regarding the effects on men with chronic prostatis. Ouch! Usually not many things you can do to get rid of it. This was a followup study. A previous study was an open label study that showed that bioflavonoids (Quercetin is a bioflavonoid) improved the condition.

So, to follow it up the Institute for Male Urology, Encino, California conducted double blind studies to see if Quercetin still could improve the symptoms of these disorders in a significant proportion of men when they had no idea what they were taking. A large percentage of the men taking Quercetin had an improvement of at least 25% in their conditions and quality of life. This corresponded with the previous open label study.

Their conclusion was that therapy with the bioflavonoid quercetin is well tolerated and provides significant symptomatic improvement in most men with chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Doesn’t have much to do with energy drinks (except that you would be really slowed down if you had chronic prostatis) but it is one more positive study of Quercetin. Which seems to be showing a lot of promise in the wellness field. Besides being and ingredient in healthy smart energy drinks Quercetin is found naturally in some fruits and veggies.

Quercetin vs chronic prostatitis

BTW, if you’re not aware of Chronic bacterial prostatitis, it is the swelling and irritation r a long period of time. It is a chronic infection of the prostate gland. I wonder how other antioxidant foods, such as cacao would do with that sort of inflammation. Would it work like quercetin?
