Quercetin in Mila
Posted by Aggie on September 19, 2009
Quercetin, one of Mila’s powerful antioxidants, has been at the top of recent health news lately. Early this year, a study by researchers at the University of South Carolina’s Arnold School of Public Health shows that quercetin significantly boosted energy, endurance and fitness in healthy men and women who were not involved in some type of daily physical training. This means that this antioxidant’s fatigue-fighting properties could help not only athletes and soldiers whose energy and performance are tested to the extreme, but also average adults who battle fatigue and stress daily.
Another study on quercetin found it increased the supply of new energy to brain and muscle cells and that these changes were associated with an increase in both maximal endurance capacity and voluntary wheel-running activity in mice.
Quercetin, kaempferol, and myricetin are antioxidants that could protect against a host of chronic diseases like ischemic heart disease, cerbrovascular disease, lung cancer, prostate cancer, asthma, and type 2 diabetes.
