"Quercetin, damages DNA if post dose level is maintained too long from frequent repetition"
Googling around I found: https://www.ncbi.nlm...pubmed/10082921
Mechanism of oxidative DNA damage induced by quercetin in the presence of Cu(II).
"Quercetin, one of flavonoids, has been reported to be carcinogenic" "Quercetin induced extensive DNA damage via reacting with Cu(II)"
Everything else I've seen on Quercetin (an ocean of positive data) indicates it is remarkably active against cancer. Perhaps more is not better? Is copper oxide (required for the adverse effect) present in normal cellular physiology?
From what I've gathered, quercetin might be something you wouldn't want to dose more than once per day? (frequent repetition)?
I've also seen conflicting data on the half life of quercetin. Anywhere from 3 hours, to over 24. What's the consensus on risk/reward with supplemental Q?
Anyone have more info on this?
