Quercetin II

Study Confirms Quercetin Relieves PROSTATITUS
Study Offers Hope for Chronic Prostatitis Treatment
More than 80% of chronic prostatitis patients who took a proprietary formulation of quercetin, a natural dietary supplement, significantly reduced pain and improved their quality of life, according to a new study published in the December issue of Urology. This marks the first time any tested therapy for chronic prostatitis has produced such demonstrative results.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, conducted by researchers at the Institute for Male Urology in Encino, Calif, found that 82% of patients who received Prosta-Q, a specially formulated blend of the bioflavonoid quercetin, recorded at least a 25% improvement in the National Institutes of Health pain and quality of life symptom score.

"These impressive findings should offer hope to the millions of men who suffer from this poorly understood and painful condition, as it provides a new option for doctors who've been frustrated by limited treatment choices," said lead researcher Daniel A. Shoskes, MD, a renal transplant specialist and associate professor of urology at the University of California Los Angeles School of Medicine. "Importantly, all of these men had failed multiple courses of antibiotics and other therapies before participating in this study."

Nonbacterial chronic prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland that affects an estimated 30 million men in the United States. Its chief symptom is chronic urogenital pain, and it is believed to impact quality of life as dramatically as myocardial infarction and Crohn disease. Its etiology is poorly understood, and standard antibiotic treatments have offered limited success.

"Chronic prostatitis is an enormous problem in our country and around the world," Dr. Shoskes said. "It's one of the most common reasons why men visit urologists, and it's one of the most discouraging conditions doctors face, because often times there's very little we can do to alleviate the pain."

Quercetin is a natural substance, known as a bioflavonoid, that's found in red wine, onions, and green tea. It's been clinically shown to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Dr. Shoskes, who had successfully used quercetin in preclinical studies with kidney transplants, decided to test the therapy on prostatitis patients, since an inflammatory cause is strongly suspected. Results with the formulation were so convincing, the researchers concluded the study early.

Editor's Note: quercetin is often used to treat allergies such as bronchial asthma and rheumatoid arthritis,
