| Standard Quercetin || 1 (baseline) || Very Low || Yellow crystalline powder || Naturally occurring in various plants; serves as the baseline form of quercetin with poor solubility and bioavailability.
| Standard Quercetin || 1 (baseline) || Very Low || Naturally occurring in various plants; serves as the baseline form of quercetin with poor solubility and bioavailability.
|-
|-
| Quercetin Phytosomes || Up to 20 times || Low || Yellow to brownish powder || Significantly increases oral bioavailability compared to standard quercetin.
| Quercetin Dihydrate || || Moderate || Synthetic form with two water molecules associated; usually preferred for dietary supplements due to improved solubility.
|-
|-
| Nanoparticle Formulations || Several-fold increase || Variable, generally improved || Nano-sized particles; appearance may vary || Includes liposomal encapsulations; increased solubility and cellular uptake.
| Quercetin Phytosomes || Up to 20 times || Low || Significantly increases oral bioavailability compared to standard quercetin.
|-
|-
| Complexation with Cyclodextrins || Up to 10 times || Enhanced || White to off-white powder || Improves water solubility significantly, enhancing therapeutic effects.
| Nanoparticle Formulations || Several-fold increase || Variable, generally improved || Includes liposomal encapsulations; increased solubility and cellular uptake.
