Quercetin-Bromelain Complex is a tablet formulation from Douglas Laboratories combining quercetin, buffered vitamin C, and bromelain. It is designed for individuals who wish to increase their intake of this bioflavonoid, key antioxidant vitamin C, and the proteolytic enzyme bromelain.
Quercetin is provided as quercetin dihydrate, a naturally occurring bioflavonoid with antioxidant activity. The formula also includes vitamin C delivered as a magnesium ascorbate/ascorbic acid complex — a buffered, non-acidic form — which is described as synergistic with quercetin. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme obtained from pineapple stem (Ananas comosus, stem) that is active and stable at the acidic levels found in the stomach.
The product is formulated to support the gastrointestinal tract and immune system. Quercetin supports normal cellular antioxidant activity, including the preservation of glutathione — a co-substrate for antioxidant enzymes — in the cells of the intestinal tract, and supports the normal immune response to antigens. Bromelain assists in the breakdown of large protein complexes in the gastrointestinal tract, and vitamin C has been added for its protective role in immune cells against free radical damage, especially during acute immune reactions and stress.
The product is formulated using non-GMO ingredients, free from unnecessary additives and many common allergens, and contains 100 tablets per container.
