Now that the days are shorter and colder, it is extra important to keep your resistance up so that you are less susceptible to getting sick. The higher your resistance, the better protected you are against diseases. The level of your resistance depends on your immune system, the system that constantly fights viruses and bacteria that invade your body. It starts with a healthy lifestyle, enough sleep, exercise, low stress and good nutrition. But a healthy lifestyle can also use a helping hand with a supplement. Newcomer to Physalis is Quercetin forte, a high-quality supplement containing Quercefit® and PureWay-C® (vitamin C). Quercetin forte supports the immune system and protects cells against oxidative stress. I’m actually never sick (knock on wood of course) and C has also been spared me all this time. I faithfully take my supplements daily, to which I recently added Quercetin. Increase your resistance with Physalis Quercetin.

BIOFLAVONOIDS FOR THE RESISTANCE Quercetin is one of the most important and best researched bioflavonoids and occurs naturally in foods such as onion, apple, green tea, broccoli, berries and capers. For our health, bioflavonoids such as quercetin provide numerous health benefits.

Because quercetin is not water soluble, it is not easily absorbed by the body. The amounts needed for an optimal effect are up to 10 to 60 times higher than what can be found in our daily diet. Supplementation is therefore the ideal way to get this bioflavonoid.

Physalis Quercetin forte is formulated with quercetin which comes from the Japanese honey tree (Sophora japonica). Thanks to the use of Phytosome® technology, the absorbability of the quercetin has been improved twenty times. A connection with phospholipids ensures that this form of quercetin (Quercefit®) can easily pass through the intestinal wall and then release the active ingredients into the bloodstream.

QUERCETINE has a number of important health benefits that can especially help with colds and flu.

1. Immunoregulatory and anti-allergic effect. Quercetin regulates the immune response when our body is attacked by germs. It stimulates immune cells but at the same time ensures that there is no overreaction, such as with an allergy.
2. Antioxidant effect. Quercetin is an antioxidant with a very powerful effect. Antioxidants keep our cells and tissues healthy because they protect against oxidative damage. This is the damage that can occur from aggressive oxygen species, also known as ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species). Antioxidants render these oxygen particles harmless.
3. Antiviral effect. Quercetin acts on viruses through several mechanisms. For example, it inhibits the multiplication of viruses, prevents viruses from entering cells, reduces host cell-virus interactions and blocks crucial virus enzymes. Cold and flu viruses are especially sensitive to quercetin.
4. Anti-inflammatory effect. Quercetin has an anti-inflammatory effect in the body because of its inhibiting effect on pro-inflammatory substances such as cytokines. These properties are beneficial in the treatment of COVID-19, for example.

PUREWAY-C®

PureWay-C® is an active form of vitamin C that is highly absorbable in the body. Encapsulated in citrus bioflavonoids and fatty acids, it is absorbed up to 233% better and stays in the body longer. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and an important antioxidant. In addition, vitamin C helps in the production of vitamin E (also a powerful antioxidant). Vitamin C is important for the proper functioning of our immune system. It stimulates the production and proper functioning of lymphocytes and phagocytes (white blood cells involved in our immune system). In addition, it plays an important role in our energy metabolism.
