Quercetin, a polyphenolic compound, has garnered significant attention in recent times due to its presence in various everyday foods and medicinal plants. This minireview presents a comprehensive examination of the chemistry, pharmacokinetics, and antioxidant properties of quercetin. In this analysis, we will examine the pharmacokinetics of quercetin within the human body, focusing on its processes of intake, distribution, metabolism, and elimination. The study of bioavailability is conducted in a comprehensive manner, with specific emphasis on the examination of delivery systems and dietary co-factors that exert an influence on it. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the antioxidant capabilities of quercetin, focusing on its major topic. This text emphasises the capacity of quercetin to effectively eliminate free radicals and its significant role in mitigating oxidative stress. The elucidation of its connections to key cellular processes and enzymes is being progressively undertaken, particularly in relation to antioxidant defence mechanisms. The objective of this concise review is to present a comprehensive overview of the chemistry, pharmacokinetics, and antioxidant properties of quercetin. The intention is to elucidate the potential therapeutic advantages of quercetin in preventing illnesses associated with oxidative stress. The expanding literature on quercetin highlights its importance as a natural antioxidant and its potential to improve human health and well-being.
