Quercenase combines bromelain, a compound of protein-digesting enzymes, with a highly absorbable form of quercetin.* Quercetin appears to have many beneficial effects on human health, including support of the gastrointestinal tract and the cardiovascular system, where it scavenges free radicals.* Thorne's Quercenase combines quercetin phytosome (quercetin bound to sunflower-sourced phospholipids, which increases the body's ability to absorb the quercetin) and bromelain, a compound of protein-digesting enzymes derived from the pineapple plant.* Bromelain also has immune-supporting properties because it contains constituents that help maintain a healthy cytokine balance.*

ALLERGY WARNING This product is contraindicated in an individual with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. PREGNANCY If pregnant, consult your health professional before using this product. INTERACTIONS Because bromelain has fibrinolytic effects that may potentially inhibit blood clotting, Quercenase should be used with caution or avoided in individuals on anticoagulant therapy. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS It is not recommended to remove the Quercenase powder from the capsule to take orally, as it can be irritating to the oral mucosa.
