Quercetin
Quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid abundant in onions, apples, capers, and dark berries. It has gained significant research attention for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and more recently for its potential role as a senolytic compound that helps clear damaged, non-dividing cells from the body.

Brad Stanfield previously took quercetin but stopped, stating current research shows no benefit beyond placebo.
