Quercetin Explained: The Flavonoid Found in Onions, Apples and Capers

Quercetin is a flavonoid, one of the coloured compounds plants make. It gives many fruits and vegetables part of their yellow tone, and it is one of the most common flavonoids in everyday food.

Where is quercetin found in food?

Red onions, capers, apples (especially the skin), berries, kale, green and black tea and buckwheat all contain quercetin. The amount varies with variety, growing conditions and cooking.

Forms you will see on labels

Supplements commonly use quercetin dihydrate, a stable crystalline form. Some formulas pair quercetin with bromelain, an enzyme from pineapple stems, so check whether you are looking at quercetin alone or a combination.

What to check before you buy

  • The amount of each ingredient per serving, not just per capsule
  • How many capsules make one serving and how many servings are in the pack
  • Whether any ingredient sits inside an undisclosed "proprietary blend"
  • The veg/non-veg mark and the manufacturer details on the pack

Label facts: Zespo Quercetin 880 mg, 90 capsules

  • Quercetin dihydrate (98%), source Sophora japonica: 880 mg per serving
  • Serving size: 2 capsules; 90 capsules per pack = 45 servings
  • Other ingredients: hypromellose (capsule shell), magnesium stearate
  • Made in India in a GMP-certified facility

How to read this label

The 880 mg is the amount in one serving of two capsules, so each capsule holds about 440 mg. 90 capsules divided by 2 per serving gives 45 servings.
