Concerned. Formula tastes different. I rely on this to control my symptoms.
"Worried about a change in inactive ingredients, or source or faulty storage??? First, I have been using quercetin and specifically this brand, for 5 years now to control my Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and allergy symptoms. Historically, Jarrow's Quercetin 500mg works great and quickly, with relief within minutes. I use it when I feel symptoms come on. I have recommended quercetin and this brand for years.
My extended family all uses quercetin now.
Why do I know there has been a change?? Sometimes I take the capsule whole. But for more immediate relief, I usually open the capsule and dump it into my mouth and then drink a glass of water, as water also dilutes histamine and decreases my reactions. The taste is not unpleasant and like a chalk texture. But today, April 20, 2022, I opened a new bottle, dumped a capsule into my mouth and it tastes like sand. Same color, but now a bland taste with a sandy texture. I was not having an allergic reaction, so I can not say if this quercetin is working differently. But I am concerned why this has changed taste and texture. My whole family also takes quercetin. They agree it also has a new taste and texture. If you have Mast Cell, you understand why I am very concerned. Quercetin has been a life changer. I rely on quercetin at least weekly. Furthermore, inactive ingredients can cause reactions. They redesigned the label with a note stating "2021 Jarrow Formulas" and my last bottle "2019 Jarrow Formula" but otherwise not much is changed on the label besides font. I'll write an update if I notice a change in relief."
This has really helped my auto-immunity!
"Once I discovered how important Quercetin is for the immune system I began using it daily. I share it with others when they get sick and it really helps them bounce back quicker. I am a user for life. Great product! I won't veer off to another manufacturer because this works!"
