Enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ) is a mixture of quercetin monoglucoside and its alpha-oligoglucosides that has been shown to have significantly greater bioavailability than other available forms. In animals, EMIQ was shown to produce a 40 fold increase in Cmax (peak plasma concentration) and an 18-fold increase in the area under the curve compared to quercetin.\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e In humans, EMIQ supplementation increased plasma concentrations to a significantly greater degree than other forms,\u003csup\u003e3\u003c\/sup\u003e including aglycone and isoquercitrin, with randomized placebo-controlled trials documenting improvement in allergic symptoms.\u003csup\u003e4,5\u003c\/sup\u003e EMIQ has also shown significantly enhanced biological activity especially in animal models of allergy and neoplasia.\u003csup\u003e6\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEMIQ has shown significant effects in improving ocular symptoms of hay fever in doubleblind clinical studies.
