In the clinical study, a ~20-fold increase in bioavailability was measured compared to standard quercetin with equal doses. Given that Quercetin Phytosome contains ~40% and has a ~20 fold relative bioavailability, one can assume that the total bioavailability of standard quercetin is less than 2%. | In the clinical study, a ~20-fold increase in bioavailability was measured compared to standard quercetin with equal doses.
