Gregory Chandler on Endurance Benefits of Quercetin

Quercetin, a flavonoid found in onions and apples, has been shown to increase the number of mitochondria in muscle cells. Mitochondria are the power plants inside cells that convert food into energy.

In a study performed at the University of South Carolina, mice that were given quercetin were able to run significantly longer than mice given a placebo. Quercetin may be helpful in boosting endurance for sports or training.

A good dose of quercetin is 500 milligrams twice a day with meals.
