The quercetin and cancer’s relationshhip

What is quercetin used for?

Quercetin is a beneficial compound widely found in the human diet, such as apples, tea, various vegetables and fruits contain this nutrient. Quercetin has good expectorant and antitussive effects, and has a certain anti-asthmatic effect. It is used to treat chronic bronchitis. In addition, it has the effects of lowering blood pressure, enhancing capillary resistance, reducing capillary fragility, lowering blood lipids, dilating coronary arteries, increasing coronary blood flow, etc. It has an adjuvant treatment effect for patients with coronary heart disease and hypertension.

Studies have found that quercetin is associated with cancer. This compound can prevent the growth of cancer cells, so it may be used in cancer treatment in the future.

Can quercetin prevent cancer?

The specific mechanism by which quercetin prevents cancer is still unclear, but most researchers believe that the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of this compound are the key. Although quercetin has been linked to cancer in the experimental environment, it is still uncertain about its use in the treatment of human cancer.

From the perspective of human nutrition, compounds called polyphenols constitute a common antioxidant against free radicals. A large number of studies have confirmed the link between free radicals and cancer, so many researchers believe that antioxidants are important to prevent this deadly disease. The most common polyphenol in the diet is quercetin, which can be found in tea, apples, and various fruits and vegetables. Many nutrition and health experts have found a link between quercetin and cancer prevention through animal and cell isolation studies.

In the process of animal experiments and control cell isolation research, it was found that quercetin compounds can help resist cancer cells and promote their death. This is commonly referred to as apoptosis, and generally refers to cells killing themselves to prevent further genetic mutations from contributing to cancer or other diseases. Studies have found that as a powerful antioxidant, polyphenols can affect these cancer cells and prevent their growth. Although there may be other factors in antioxidants that promote cell apoptosis, more research is needed to confirm this theory.

Some scientists believe that the role of quercetin in preventing cancer is not only due to antioxidants, but also related to its anti-inflammatory effects. Since many studies have found a link between cancer and inflammation, researchers believe that the anti-inflammatory compounds in quercetin are the key to preventing cancer.

It is still unclear about the effects of quercetin treatment in humans by injection or oral administration. However, most doctors and nutritionists advocate eating more foods rich in quercetin, such as apples and tea, because no safer health products or drugs have been developed.
