Quercetin Paper: Quercetin is a flavonoid (intermediate or end product of metabolism) that is found in abundance in fruits and vegetables and has been shown to be antiviral. Quercetin prevents heart disease and is used in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Quercetin confers protection against many diseases including cancer, diabetes, and arthritis.

Quercetin has demonstrated a high degree of antiviral and anti-inflammatory activity through an action that inhibits an enzyme needed by the virus to replicate. Flavonoids in general have anti-inflammatory effects, and quercetin in particular performs this action by neutralizing potentially damaging free radicals.
