How Vanguard tests Quercetin

Identity, purity and quantity are measured by reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection against a reference standard, $250 per sample with results in 3 to 5 business days. Finished products use the same approach, with sample preparation matched to the product.

A USP monograph exists for Quercetin; testing to the USP Quercetin monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

  • Purity, as percent of total peak area
  • Quantity, in mg per serving or % w/w against the label
  • Identity, reported as match or no match against the reference standard
  • With monograph testing (quoted): the monograph’s tests against its limits

Tests and prices

$250

Chromatographic purity and mg per unit by the method matched to the compound, identity against a reference standard. 1 unit.

  • One page covers Quercetin and its salts and forms.

Questions about Quercetin testing

Quercetin or quercetin dihydrate: does it change the result?

Yes. Quercetin is about 89% of the dihydrate's weight, so tell us which form the label states.

Can you test it in a finished product?

Yes. Capsules, powders, gummies and liquids are measured with sample preparation matched to the product, and reported in mg per serving or % w/w against the label.
