This dietary adjustment is important
A new study shows the benefits of flavonols
Kool Beens,
A study has shown an association of flavonols with reduced rate of cognitive decline over the years. I have presented the list in the video. Following is the image of the items in the list. Please add kaempferol and/or quercetin containing items in your daily food intake as well.
I added kale, tea, and olive oil. These three cover all the four constituents. You can add from this list or look up kaempferol or quercetin containing foods and add them to your daily intake.
Watch complete video below.

TO INCREASE ABSORPTION of hard to absorb "herbs"
(the following email was sent to Claudia a time ago)
"From some reading I am thinking that the basic process of coating with a sugar and then a fat would substantially increase absorption of many harder to absorb herbs and the like". This from Elizabeth "In Ayurvedic medicine you take remedies together with ghee and honey - fat and sugar."
"While searching to find how to increase absorption of quercetin I came across your video where you were "compounding pharmacist Claudia" making lysosomal vitamin C. As you use quercetin and seem to be an experimenter I thought to pass some info I found in two patents. The first is an Indena SpA patent who make Quercefit. In their earlier application documents ( only the final 2020 patent seems easily available now) they made an interesting revelation that a simple mechanical mixture of quercetin and maltodextrin or fructose (or other sugar) and lecithin (they use sunflower) in the range of 1-1-1 or equal parts (or a number of ratios) increased absorption by 10 times while their lysosomal/phytosome product where they dissolve all in 190 proof ethanol which, at that time, they said increased absorption by 20 times. Now in the final document they claim that that their full process increases absorption by 50 times and they make no mention of the efficacy of the simple mechanical mixture but they do put a graph at the very beginning of the document which shows the low absorption of quercetin, the higher absorption of the :"physical mixture" (mechanical mixture) and the highest absorption of their "solid dispersion" which is their alcohol dissolved and dried "phytosome product Quercefit. That graph is best seen in the pdf US20200.... They say the use of the sugar is important.
I use the back of a tablespoon against a plate to first grind together the quercetin and the maltodextrin (sugar) then the lecithin. I figure it has to be good for a 5+ times increase in absorption depending on how well the "mechanical mixture" works, but I don't know. You might be sensitive enough to tell if a smaller amount of the mixture works as well as a regular dose. From some reading I am thinking that the basic process of coating with a sugar and then a fat would substantially increase absorption of many harder to absorb herbs and the like."
I have since dissolved the "sugar" (nutricost organic maltodextrin "TapiOK" brand) in water then mixed in the harder to absorb "herb" then mixed in the fat (Now brand sunflower lecithin). My experience says this is a more effective way to "attach" the "sugar", and lecithin does attach to both water and fat and may, then, present to a fat receptive absorption site in the body as does the maltodextrin absorb easily into the body as per its use by elite long distance runners (some like straight maltodextrin and some like 3 parts maltodextrin and 1 part fructose in water +++ for fuel and hydration during the run)
the other patent US8440... helps inform the usefulness of taking quercetin with B3 and C. I do not think you have to be concerned with the C." (with all the lysosomal C you use)Â
from the other patent "Additional and related Surprising observations include that a combination of quercetin, vitamin B3. and vitamin C maintains quercetin levels in plasma up to five times those of quercetin alone or a combination of quercetin..."
Thank You for all you share. James

This explains why my grandmother died in a car accident at 98 (she was driving but it was late afternoon with sun in her eyes and an illegal alien unlicensed other driver). The woman drank a minimum of two cups of tea a day her whole adult life. This happened in 2016. I think she’d still be with us, albeit living with my mother if that hadn’t happened.
