Quercetin is a versatile flavonoid and phytonutrient. Thorne’s Quercenase also contains bromelain. Bromelain is a protein digesting enzyme which is extracted from pineapple sap and stem.
Additional Warnings: Because bromelain has fibrinolytic effects that may potentially inhibit blood clotting, Quercenase should be used with caution or avoided in individuals on anticoagulant therapy or prior to surgery. It is not recommended to remove the Quercenase powder from the capsule to take orally, as it can be irritating to the oral mucosa.
