Oh yes, it is still doing its job.
I have run into an unexpected problem, however, that should not exist for most. You have heard Laura and I discussing our own weird problems? That involve a shifting of potassium from the blood into the cells and is triggered by insulin, which is normally what happens with the glucose from our food. Well, it seems that quercetin wants to help there as well, so it sparks up the endo system. Unfortunately, this means that my insulin is more efficient and, bottom line, gets in the way of the quercetin each morning. Actually, it is more complicated than that and if I'm not very careful to exercise at just the right time, I end up paralyzed for two hours.
But that arises from the overnight fast (called the "dawn phenomenon") and by noon things have flipped around and things work better than they have n a long time. I estimate that I have doubled the length of my "on" time and halved the daily dose over the last month. Dk almost gone too. Biggest problem is the insulin-potassium thing and I am sneaking up on it.
Took one cap yesterday w/400 mg qu and 100 mg brom. (I think the latter helps with absorption.)
