Detailed Analysis
Taking Quercetin and Dehydroascorbic Acid together may impact the amount of ascorbic acid in your cells. Quercetin can inhibit the uptake of dehydroascorbic acid, which is an oxidized form of vitamin C. This could affect the overall levels of vitamin C in your body. Quercetin competitively inhibits dehydroascorbic acid uptake in erythrocytes and other cells by blocking sodium-independent glucose transporters (GLUT 1 and GLUT 3). This reduces the amount of dehydroascorbic acid that can enter cells and be converted to ascorbic acid. As a result, the intracellular accumulation of ascorbic acid is decreased.
