Quercetin, a dietary flavonol known to be one of the most potent plant-derived antioxidants, has multiple biological actions, with preclinical studies showing anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, and vasodilatory benefits. The limiting factor in the clinical effectiveness of quercetin appears to be its low bioavailability. Enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) is a mixture of quercetin monoglucoside and its alpha-oligoglucosides that has been shown to have significantly higher bioavailability than other available forms. In animals, EMIQ has been shown to produce a 40-fold increase in Cmax (peak plasma concentration) and an 18-fold increase in area under the curve compared to quercetin. In humans, EMIQ supplementation increased plasma concentrations to a significantly greater degree. than other forms, including aglycone and isoquercitrin (Q3G). Randomized placebo-controlled trials have shown that EMIQ has clinical benefits not seen with less absorbable forms. In a recent crossover trial in volunteers at risk for cardiovascular disease (i.e., high blood pressure, lipids, glucose, or waist circumference), EMIQ improved endothelial function ( as measured by flow-mediated vasodilation), a key risk factor for hypertension, atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. American football players taking whey protein supplements experienced greater increases in lower extremity muscle mass and antioxidant protection when consuming 42 mg of EMIQ per day compared to whey alone. Two trials found that EMIQ reduced medication use and ocular symptoms. hay fever due to Japanese cedar pollinosis.
