Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect body cells from free radicals damage, thus protecting us from premature aging and degenerative diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and etc. It also posses anti-inflammatory property which help to alleviate inflammation, thus may be helpful in maintaining heart health and managing joint pain associated with arthritis.

Being a powerful antioxidant, quercetin might have anti-cancer properties that help to suppress tumour growth and prevent the spread of cancer cells.
