Isoquercetin: A Novel and Bioavailable Flavonoid Supplement(3)

Flavonols occur naturally in many plant foods and are common components of our daily diet, with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The most common flavonol in the diet is quercetin, which is especially abundant in onions, apples and kale. Like other flavonols, quercetin occurs in foods not as an aglycone, but as glycosides with sugars bound at different positions on the molecule. Isoquercetin is a naturally-occurring, bioavailable form of quercetin that is safe and many times more bioavailable than quercetin aglycone. This presentation will review the differences between the forms, and the advantages and indications for this novel, natural bioflavonoid. Jeremy Appleton, ND is a licensed naturopathic physician and nutraceutical industry professional. He is the author of several books and has published hundreds of articles. He has been the nutrition department chair at the National College of Natural Medicine and is a founding contributor of Healthnotes Newswire. Dr. Appleton is presently the Director of Scientific Affairs at LEF Clinical Research.

Managing Cortisol Levels for Overall Health

Chronically elevated cortisol levels have been implicated in a multitude of conditions, including coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, insulin resistance, diabetes, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, and overweight/obesity. Acting as both a mediator and an inhibitor in the body's stress response, cortisol can cause significant damage to major systems of the body when stress is left unchecked. Managing cortisol levels requires a comprehensive understanding its effects, its fluctuations, and the targeted nutritional strategies that can restore optimal adrenal gland function and directly lower cortisol.
