What is the USES & EFFECTIVENESS of #QUERCETIN?

We have the Possibly Effective for:
Prostate pain and swelling (inflammation). Taking quercetin by mouth seems to reduce pain and improve quality of life, but doesn’t seem to help urination problems in men with ongoing prostate problems that aren’t due to infection.

We have the Insufficient Evidence for:
Heart disease. Some research suggests that eating foods rich in quercetin, such as tea, onions and apples, can reduce the risk of heart disease-related death in elderly men. However, other early research suggests that taking a daily quercetin supplement does not improve heart disease risk factors.
High cholesterol. Short-term use of quercetin supplements does not seem to lower “bad cholesterol” (low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol), lower total cholesterol, or raise “good cholesterol” (high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol).
High blood pressure. Some research suggest that 365mg of quercetin aglycone twice daily produces a small (5-7 mmHg) decrease in blood pressure in people with untreated, mild high blood pressure. It’s not known yet how important this is.
Exercise-induced respiratory infections. Developing research shows that taking 500 mg of quercetin twice daily for 3 weeks before, and continuing during 3 days of extended, intense cycling reduces the number of upper respiratory infections in the 14 days following the heavy exercise.
Kidney transplantation. Some research suggests that a combination of 20 mg of quercetin and 480 mg of curcumin taken once or twice daily, starting within 24 hours of kidney transplantation and continuing for one month, in combination with anti-rejection drugs, improves early function of the transplanted kidney.
