1) What brand of quercetin do you take? Its a practitioner brand in australia called orthoplex.
2) Do you think that a quercetin supplement with isoquercitin (quercetin-3-0-glucoside) would be any more potent than one without isoquercitin? Yes, maybe. I think from memory this is the compound that is formed in first pass metabolism of quercetin, and is easier to absorb. I can't get any here though so can't tell you from experience.
3) Which symptoms of your illness have you found quercetin to be the most effective at relieving? Do you find quercetin to be energizing, anxiety-reducing, or both? Find it calming mostly. It seems to be a good mood stabiliser for me, and also stops my body from aching, and my tooth from swelling. In terms of mood though see my new thread about anandamide - this is better so far.
4. 4) Finally, what have you found to be the best sources of EPA and GLA? Nordic naturals makes a pharmaceutical grade high EPA fish oil with borage oil in also. Very nice. Sometimes I use cold pressed EPO which is quite cheap.
Quercetin has a 24 hr half life and a great deal of it is absorbed in the end of the small intestine so it acts for a fair amount of time.
