Did you know...? If you are an amateur or professional athlete, apples and onions may help protect you against flu

Added 20.09.2011


An antioxidant substance found in apples and onions called quercetin may protect you against flu through its immune boosting and antiviral effects. Because strenuous exercise increases the risk of upper respiratory tract infections and flu, athletes could benefit from daily consumption of quercetin.

Not a fan of apples or onions? Don't worry because Doctor's Natural Phyto-Synergy contains a daily dose of 400 mg of quercetin.
