quercetin/saw palmetto/cranberry/bromelain/papain/zinc supplement

Definition

A quercetin-based herbal supplement composed of a proprietary mix of the bioflavonoid quercetin, cranberry, saw palmetto, bromelain, papain, and zinc, with potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Upon administration, the quercetin/saw palmetto/cranberry/bromelain/papain/zinc supplement may exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and may relieve prostatitis symptoms. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of quercetin may be mediated through the inhibition of the lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways, thereby preventing the production of pro-inflammatory mediators.
