The overall consumption of quercetin-rich foods led to an estimated average intake of 5.9 mg/person/day, with the 90<sup>th</sup> percentile at 14.7 mg/person/day. The highest reported individual intake was 258.2 mg/day, observed in the adult male group. It's worth noting that these estimates might be on the conservative side, as quercetin content data is available only for select foods. | ||
