wendy-

Sounds like you are doing well. The contents of the caps that I am using are pretty mild tasting and would mix with a lot of concealing vehicles, so you might be able to dispense with them altogether.

As to how long it lasts, all I know is that the evening stretch when I take it with Sinemet CR is five hours (from 6 until 11 PM). That could be limited by the Qu or sinemet either one, however. One thing about the botanicals is that missing an occasional day may be to your advantage. It lets the systems "reset" in some way.

Keep us posted - Rick

I wonder what the "half-life" of quercetin is, does it build up in your system after awhile or do you need to keep taking it at a certain interval for it to have its best effect? With my limited experience, I would say it's lasting for maybe eight hours - really just a guess.
