What happens to the daily dose?
G'day G'day Folks,
While I was looking up the net for
info on quercetin I came across this rather interesting fact.
Quercetin has a half life of 25 hours in the body. Well what's an
hour between friends. Let's simplify matters by speeding things up 4%
and making that 24 hours.
If I take a 400 mg tablet each day how
much will float around in my body after a week?
Day one 400 mg dropping to 200
mg
Day two 600 mg dropping to 300
mg
Day three 700 mg dropping to 350
mg
Day four 750 mg dropping to 375
mg
Day five 775 mg dropping to 388
mg
Day six 788 mg dropping to 394
mg
Day seven 794 mg dropping to 397
mg
Well that is day seven depending on
when you take your readings. As you can see it doesn't much matter
which day you call day seven.
What fascinated me was how taking the
supplement for life would only increase the amount in one's body to
DOUBLE the daily dose.
Hey, I thought it was fun.
