Looking to start feeling your best? Wanting to get back into your prime? Do you want to reduce inflammation, boost your immune system, and protect yourself from harmful oxidative damage? If so, you came to the right blog.

Enter: Quercetin and Bromelain. These two natural compounds are a powerful force for good in the body. They are both antioxidants, which means they help protect you from damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules that harm cells and contribute to the development of chronic diseases).[1,2,3]

Keep reading to take a closer look at quercetin and bromelain, and how they can help you feel your best.

Quercetin: The Powerhouse Flavonoid

Quercetin is a flavonoid, which is a type of plant pigment that has antioxidant properties. It is found in many fruits and vegetables, including apples, onions, grapes, and berries. And remember how we mentioned the free-radical-fighting power of antioxidants? Quercetin is packed full of them, making it one of nature’s best defenders of your heart, mind, and overall wellness.[4]

Quercetin has been shown to have many health benefits, including:[13]

Bromelain: The Mighty Enzyme

Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes that are found in the pineapple plant. It is most concentrated in the stem and juice of the pineapple. Bromelain has been used for centuries by traditional healers in Central and South America. It was first isolated from pineapples in the late 1800s.[5]

Like Quercetin, it has several health benefits, including:[14,15]

Together, They're A Force to Be Reckoned With

Quercetin and Bromelain are like two superheroes who work together to fight off the bad guys. When taken together, they can work in powerful synergy to provide a more comprehensive range of health benefits than they would on their own.

Wondering what that means for you? Let’s take a look: 

- They're the “Dynamic Duo” of antioxidants: Quercetin and Bromelain are a powerful team that can help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. Quercetin, as a flavonoid, and Bromelain, as a potent enzyme, are great at boosting the body’s production of its antioxidants. That means that for you they can help to improve overall health and well-being, and also potentially reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases over time.[6,7]

- They're the perfect partners in crime fighting: Quercetin and Bromelain can help fight off inflammation and improve digestion. For you, this means helping to improve symptoms of conditions such as arthritis, asthma, and allergies. It can also help to keep the gut healthy, which is important for not just your GI tract, but your brain, immune system, and so much more.[8,9]

- They're the superheroes of your immune system: Quercetin can help to activate immune cells, helping them to fight off infection. Bromelain can help to destroy bacteria and viruses, preventing them from causing infection. Together, quercetin and bromelain can help to keep the immune system strong and healthy. [10,11]

- They're the cancer-fighting dream team: Quercetin and Bromelain may help prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells. Studies have shown that both have the potential to not only prevent these harmful cells from growing but may also be able to kill cancer cells as well. This means natural protection and defense for the long haul![12,7]
