Quercetin Endurance Meta-AnalysisBackground Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) commonly follows strenuous exercise and is marked by delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), reduced muscle strength, and increased creatine kinase (CK) and C-reactive protein (CRP), which may impair recovery and subsequent training.1Xu KX (2026)Comparative effects of plant-derived anthocyanin- and flavanol-rich supplements on recovery outcomes after exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Quercetin Endurance Meta-AnalysisIn the primary analysis, only pomegranate and tart cherry significantly reduced 48 h DOMS vs.1Xu KX (2026)Comparative effects of plant-derived anthocyanin- and flavanol-rich supplements on recovery outcomes after exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Quercetin Endurance Meta-AnalysisFor secondary outcomes, tart cherry was the only supplement associated with significant DOMS reduction at both 24 h and 72 h.1Xu KX (2026)Comparative effects of plant-derived anthocyanin- and flavanol-rich supplements on recovery outcomes after exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Quercetin Endurance Meta-AnalysisPlant-derived polyphenols such as anthocyanins or flavanols are widely used to support recovery, but their comparative effects remain uncertain.1Xu KX (2026)Comparative effects of plant-derived anthocyanin- and flavanol-rich supplements on recovery outcomes after exercise-induced muscle damage: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
