“…Even its extremely high-dietary intake can result in only nanomolar concentrations of total quercetin (the parent compound and its metabolites) in the circulation (Kelly, 2011); however, administration of dietary supplements with high-quercetin content (e.g., 500-1,000-mg aglycone in a single tablet/capsule) leads to micromolar plasma concentrations of total quercetin (Conquer, Maiani, Azzini, Raguzzini, & Holub, 1998;Heinz et al, 2010). In addition to its potential pharmacodynamic effects, quercetin can interact with serum albumin (causing displacement of drugs from albumin; Poór et al, 2013), cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes (Kimura, Ito, Ohnishi, & Hatano, 2010), and transport proteins (Wang et al, 2013). These effects may be responsible for pharmacokinetic interaction between quercetin and medications (Poór et al, 2017;Srinivas, 2015).…”
