Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What's the difference between Quercetin Dihydrate and Anhydrous?
Quercetin Dihydrate contains ~9-12% water (two water molecules per quercetin). Anhydrous Quercetin contains no water (~3-4% higher Quercetin content per gram). Both are pharmacopoeia-accepted.
Q2: What is Quercetin?
Quercetin is a flavonoid found in many fruits, vegetables, and grains. It is considered one of the most abundant dietary antioxidants and is associated with anti-inflammatory and immune support positioning.
Q3: Can Quercetin be combined with other ingredients?
Quercetin is commonly combined with Vitamin C (for enhanced absorption), Bromelain, and Zinc in immune support formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.
Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?
Quercetin is permitted as a food supplement ingredient in the EU under Novel Food Regulation 2015/2283 (per EC 2017/2470). Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.
Q5: How is Quercetin content measured?
Quercetin content is quantified via HPLC with UV detection at 370 nm per USP / Ph. Eur. methods.
Q6: What's the typical MOQ?
Standard MOQ is 25 kg. Smaller quantities (5-10 kg) are available for evaluation.
Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?
Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific Quercetin content, hydrate form, particle size) can be discussed with our coordination team.
Q8: What documentation is available?
Standard documentation includes COA, MSDS, allergen statement, Non-GMO statement. Additional documentation available upon request from production partners.
