==Health uses== Quercetin supplements are often promoted for * prevention and treatment of certain types of cancer<ref name="safety">https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Karen-Hirsch-Ernst/publication/321014123_Safety_Aspects_of_the_Use_of_Quercetin_as_a_Dietary_Supplement/links/5c03d507a6fdcc1b8d502a93/Safety-Aspects-of-the-Use-of-Quercetin-as-a-Dietary-Supplement.pdf</ref> * atherosclerosis * high cholesterol * heart disease and [[:Category:Cardiac signs and symptoms|circulatory problems]] * [[diabetes]] * [[hay fever]] * cataracts * peptic ulcer * [[depression]] * schizophrenia * inflammatory conditions (asthma, gout) * [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] * chronic prostate<ref name="safety" /><ref name="webmd" /> However, many of these uses have weak evidence supporting them, and for some uses there is evidence that quercetin supplementation do not improve symptoms.<ref name="webmd" /> Quercetin is also taken by athletes to increase endurance and improve performance.<ref name="webmd">{{Cite web|url=http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-294-quercetin.aspx?activeingredientid=294&| title = Quercetin: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Dosage, and Warning|website=webmd.com|language=en|access-date=2020-05-05}}</ref> Quercetin is a potent antioxidant.<ref name="Balavoine1999" /> Most of the information on [[flavonoid]]s concerns quercetin because with only sight changes to the backbone of flavones and subtle cell behavior mechanisms and responsiveness, flavoinoids can be modulating, biphasic and exert regulatory action on immunity and inflammation. Only a few flavones and flavonols have been assayed mainly due to chemical similarity to quercetin.<ref name="Chirumbolo2010" />
