Questions people ask
Does antioxidant activity always mean protection?
No. Laboratory conditions matter: myricetin has shown both antioxidant and pro-oxidant effects in vitro. 1
Did the alcohol study test myricetin alone?
No. It tested a three-ingredient product, so the contribution of myricetin remains unknown. 3
Is a better-absorbed formula proven to work better?
Not from absorption data alone. Clinical benefit still needs to be demonstrated in people using that formulation. 2
