I have FRS on my FRS!

[Neziah]

I fully expected to see a FR-S crashed into another FR-S. Glad I was wrong LOL

Why am I having flashbacks to the Smurfs? "So I was drinking my FRS in my FRS, when my FRS totally FRS'd me! I was like Fffff....RS!!!"

A study reviewing the biological properties of Quercetin found that, although it has beneficial properties, the amount biologically available may not be of sufficient concentration to have much effect on your body. Kind of a big oversight. It turns out that flavinoids are poorly absorbed from the gut and are broken down by intestinal micro-organisms (bugs in your gut that help break down the food you eat) (1).



Although many people haven’t heard of Quercetin before, most of them have ingested it at some point in the form of fruits and leafy vegetables including apples, cranberries, blueberries, and onions (remember when mom said to eat your fruits and vegetables?) (2). Quercetin is marketed as a dietary supplement with recommended daily doses of 200-1200 mg. High purity, food-grade Quercetin such as the one FRS uses, QU995, is generally recognized as safe for use in a variety of foods.


How much Quercetin is too much? Since scientists could find enough humans to experiment with, they had to settle for animal studies. In a study where rabbits were injected with doses of 100-150mg/kg of Quercetin (that’s over 10,000 mg in a 150-lb person!), no symptoms of toxicity were reported (1). In another study involving Swiss mice, no variation in body weight, food and water consumption, clinical chemistry, and organ weight were noticed when given doses of 30, 300, or 3000 mg/kg of Quercetin for 28 days straight (1). Keep in mind, however, that this safety data comes from studies with small animals…not humans. In fact, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) (a subdivision of the National Institutes of Health) is recruiting subjects for a double blind, placebo-controlled trial investigating the potential effects of 1 or 2 grams of supplemental Quercetin on glucose absorption (1). We will most likely see more studies on the safe and effective use of Quercetin in humans in the near future

Yeah, I remember seeing a bottle of that somewhere and taking a double look. I was like, "Does that really say FRS or am I just so obsessed with this car that I'm seeing things?"

That was an interesting read, thank you!

"No crash or jitters"

Should've had some of that stuff before I attempted to drift that corner.
