Quercetin & Fisetin

Polyphenols that act as "scaffolds" for senolytic activity, targeting specific survival pathways in old cells.

Quercetin and Fisetin are flavonoid polyphenols found in foods (onions, apples, strawberries) and supplements. They have shown senolytic activity in preclinical research — inducing apoptosis in senescent cells while sparing healthy cells, potentially by targeting Bcl-2 family pathways.

Key Points

  • High-dose protocols — senolytic effects may require doses above typical dietary intake
  • Cycling — often used in "hit and run" protocols: high dose for 2–3 days, then 30 days off
  • Combination — sometimes combined with other senolytics (e.g., dasatinib) in research
