🔥 psa for anyone taking quercetin on a regular basis 🔥

this may be common knowledge and just previously unknown to me, but i've just today discovered that quercetin chelates iron/blocks iron absorption and can lead to anaemia and/or low ferritin levels. so if you're taking it regularly, please have things checked!

(and if ferritin is low enough, just stopping quercetin won't be enough to bring it up and possibly neither will otc iron supplements, so please do get some numbers / help if necessary)

i've just been in tears from finding this out as quercetin is one of the few things that helps me at all, and given i have no medical care, one of the few things i can access. i've been taking a decent dose daily for the past ... 13 years? but my ferritin was on the floor at my last blood test a year ago (ofc i couldn't find anyone to do anything about that). and i can't even take oral iron, not that it would help if i could, given my levels, but. yes. yay  

take care people and good luck

Today is #MEAwarenessDay!

The Swedish study finding 1 in 5 people with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome #hEDS or hypermobility spectrum disorder #HSD (which the EDS Society found are the same) have myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome #MECFS #pwME: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7485557/

The study found 20% #pwME studied had #hEDS and 50% had #HSD

This study was prior to the 2026 reclassification merging HSD and hEDS

Given 2026 changes, 44 hEDS + 115 HSD = 159 hEDS of 229 is 69.43%
