The Effects of Quercidin on the Brain

Quercidin can get broken down by your microbiome into DOPAC and dihydroxyphenolacetic acid which are basically like dopamine kind of feedback mechanism metabolites. So they actually trigger your dopamine system to make more dopamine because their metabolites said hey you lost a whole bunch of dopamine, make more. And so this is where a quercidin could have an effect on your brain, you know, improving dopamine, but you would need the right microbiota.
