Quercetin and energy

[LAC]

I have been seeing alot of articles about Quercetin as an energy booster.
Any ideas about this?
if it is true, what about dosage?

I have not read about any energy benefits but that does not mean there are none. We use it in Stoked and PCS because it helps with the bioavailibilty of trans-res.

well for example the product FRS endorsed by Lance armstrong. The ad is here on the forum above.
They have studies showing energy benefits, but I prefer to hear from our forum members if these claims are valid.

Oh I understand....

Its promoting mood and dopamine/norepinephrine.

It inactivates liver enzymes that would otherwise destroy blood-bourne PEA or resveratrol in the case of Stoked.

It could have problems with lowering mood - but I dunno quite how and will probably be a minority side-effect.

You have to be careful if you are doing this sort of thing because it could cause contra-indications with certain foods if taken in large amounts.
