-===Metabolism and Bioavailability===
+===Quercetin Phytosome===
-Once absorbed, quercetin undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver and intestines, where it is converted into various metabolites through glucuronidation, sulfation, and methylation. The extensive metabolism significantly reduces the concentrations of free quercetin in the plasma, limiting its bioavailability. The metabolites, however, may retain some biological activity and contribute to the overall effects of quercetin in the body.
+Quercetin Phytosome is a formulation where quercetin is bound to phospholipids, typically derived from sunflower or soy lecithin, to enhance its bioavailability and absorption.
