Quercefit® 20x Quercetin Phytosome
the world’s most powerful immune-modulating bioflavonoid
Quercefit® Quercetin Phytosome uses a unique patent-pending process to enhance the bioavailability of Quercetin by 2,000%. You would need to take at least 20 capsules of another brand’s Quercetin to get the equivalent of just one serving of CHOQ Armor.
The subject of 6 studies, Quercefit® supports:
- Immune defense & respiratory function
- A healthy inflammation response
- Healthy histamine levels (via mast cell stabilization)
- Modulation of Th1 and Th2 cytokine production
- Healthy collagen formation
- Free radical scavenging
