Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Alpha-Glycosyl Isoquercetin (AGIQ) is a highly bioavailable form of isoquercetin, a flavonoid derived from quercetin. There is emerging, but still limited, scientific evidence to support its use in managing aspects of metabolic syndrome. Preclinical animal studies indicate that isoquercetin and its derivatives may improve insulin sensitivity, reduce blood glucose levels, and exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, all of which are relevant to metabolic syndrome. For example, animal research has shown that isoquercetin supplementation can attenuate weight gain, improve lipid profiles, and lower markers of oxidative stress in models of diet-induced metabolic syndrome. Human data, however, are sparse. Some small clinical trials of quercetin (not specifically AGIQ) have demonstrated modest improvements in blood pressure, lipid profiles, and markers of inflammation in individuals with metabolic syndrome or related conditions, but results are inconsistent and often underpowered. There are currently no large, high-quality randomized controlled trials directly assessing AGIQ for metabolic syndrome in humans. Therefore, while mechanistic and early-stage data suggest potential benefits, the overall evidence remains preliminary and insufficient for strong clinical recommendations. Further research, especially well-designed human studies, is needed to substantiate its efficacy for metabolic syndrome.
