Quercetin is a type of plant-based chemical (phytochemical) known as a flavonoid or more commonly antioxidant. Good sources of natural quercetin include apples, onions, teas and red wines. Various forms of quercetin have been isolated and are now being sold as dietary supplements.

Quercetin is also a flavonoid and, to be more specific, a flavonol.1

It is the aglycone form of a number of other flavonoid glycosides, such as rutin and quercitrin, found in citrus fruit & onions. Quercetin forms the glycosides quercitrin and rutin together with rhamnose and rutinose, respectively.1
