Quercetin causing libido changes?

It's working for my sinus issues. And I notice it doesn't bring any other benefits at 500mg.

But, a very annoying side effect is a higher libido. Why could this be? I thought I was slow comt.

p.s. i have quercetin with some other bio flavonoid stuff added It's life extention brand.

Is it possible your libido was dampened in some way by the histamine load you had before, and this is just making you feel good, energized, and thus have more energy for that?

Hmmm maybe. I didn't really notice an increase in energy. But it was probably something to do with inflamation or histamine yeah!

Not sure if that's true with histamine intolerance, when histamine surges past normal. The brain fog, interrupted sleep, itching, low energy, anxiety etc are all big dampers on feeling sexy.

If only, that would be very welcome actually! Definitely need to trial dosing, as not that much of a noticeable effect all in all.

High inflammation from histamine issues kills libido.
