Dietary intervention could benefit heart health in those with muscular dystrophy. That's according to new research published in Experimental Physiology. If these findings are confirmed in humans, it could mean that off the shelf supplements could improve health and life expectancy.
Scientists from Iowa State University, Auburn University and the University of Montana in the United States found that supplementing the mice's food with quercetin (a flavonol found in many fruits, vegetables, leaves, and grains) improved biomedical outcomes, providing an inflammatory and antioxidant effect. To the groups' surprise, they also found that the quercetin-fed mice were more active than the control group
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a severe type of muscular dystrophy that causes a decline in cardiac health resulting in premature death, at an average age of 26 years. Duchenne's predominantly affects males.
The researchers used several mouse models for muscular dystrophy, carrying out experiments in parallel. By doing this they were able to replicate muscular dystrophy in humans as closely as possible.
Dr John C. Quindry, the corresponding author, said: "A currently available dietary intervention could benefit those with muscular dystrophy. We gave the mice a quercetin dose that was proportional to those that could be given to humans. This allows scientists to make the best possible connections between animal and human research findings."

“My wife and I have been taking Quercetin and zinc every day since March to avoid contracting China virus.”
Ok, but it doesn’t prevent you from being infected. It interferes with the virus multiplying/replicating.
What is NAC ?
bump for reference.
Thank you. Good stuff
Are you employed by supplement manufacturers? You seem to be focused on them.
That about sums it up.
LOL is right. Years ago when I was being stalked, the cops said, “We can’t do anything until he actually hurts you.”
How many milligrams are your Quercitin capsules?
I am merely posting studies from journals. I have never worked for any supplement manufacturer seller.
You are free to ignore threads posting health news.
400 mg quercetin, but also 90 mg bromelain to help with absorption. In fact, I might be absorbing more quercetin than others with a higher nominal dosage but without bromelain.
Thanks. If I try it, I’ll be on the lookout for side effects. Better look for tablets that can be split, not capsules.
