Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Nutrition Tip: Quercetin for Inflammatory, Metabolic and Autoimmune Issues
Quercetin. How many Q-starting vitamins or minerals can you think of? Well, quercetin is a good one! A yellow pigment in plants used as a food supplement to decrease allergic reactions or boost immunity, quercetin is showing itself to do more than just that! Its anti-inflammatory, immune-system supporting, and gut microbiota-regulating elements to name a few are attracting the attention of Amelia Chiropractic Clinic. We know our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients will appreciate this vitamin flavonoid even more!
INFLAMMATION
Quercetin as a flavonoid found in herbs, fruits (apples, berries), onions, seeds, nuts, and green tea is explained as offering positive effects on human health by controlling antioxidant activities, immune-modulatory impacts, and regulating metabolic pathways. By what means? By altering gene expression, signaling pathways and controlling proteins and cytokines. Quercetin is thought to most likely impact the P12K/AKT pathway and help neurodegenerative disorders, liver diseases, and diabetes. (1) Quercetin has been shown to alleviate the neuralgia and the inflammatory response of the sciatic nerve and spinal dorsal horn in rats with chronic constriction injury. (2) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is all for anti-inflammatory responses when it comes to containing pain!
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
Quercetin’s reputation is growing stronger a lot! Its utilization in treating and possibly preventing autoimmune diseases which appear resulting from a breakdown and dysregulation of the immune system is being examined. Dietary supplementation is being implemented increasingly due to beneficial effects, relative safety, and minimal cost. Quercetin shows promise in this realm because of its anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, and neuroprotective benefits. Studies of late described positive effects of quercetin on rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and lupus.

METABOLIC DISEASE
Quercetin is also standing out in treatment of metabolic diseases like diabetes, hyperlipedemia, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients have these types of issues, too. Animal experiments reported that quercetin helped insulin secretion, enhanced insulin resistance, reduced blood lipid levels, restrained inflammation and oxidative stress, eased hepatic lipid accumulation, and synchronized gut microbiota. Future human studies are dreamt of to discover a way to increase the bioavailability of quercetin as well as document its efficacy. (4) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic incorporates nutritional supports like quercetin with its chiropractic spinal manipulation via Cox® Technic to assist our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients get pain relief as well as enjoy better health.
