Myricetin is a phytochemical. These are the chemicals that plants use to defend themselves against disease. Research has shown that these same chemicals can prove equally beneficial to the human body.

From in vitro (test tube) and animal studies myricetin has been shown to be cell protector, an antioxidant and an anti-carcinogen.

Myricetin may be effective against leukemia1.

Myricetin may inhibit the development of prostate cancer2.

Myricetin may offer protection against diabetes3.

How much should I have?

In the absence of an RDA (recommended daily amount) we have created a CYF starting guideline based on a portion of a high ingredient for myricetin, as the general advice is that diets high in flavonoids like myricetin has many health benefits. Members can set their own target amounts.
