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.
