Athletic Performance Not Found To Be Enhanced By Popular Supplement Quercetin

Just like almost all the rest - with an important message at the end.
"The antioxidant quercetin is increasingly being marketed as a supplement that boosts athletic performance, but a new University of Georgia study finds that it is no better than a placebo...

Cureton notes that had there been a performance-enhancing effect of quercetin, a sample size of 30 would have been sufficient to detect it. Plant-based compounds related to quercetin, such as resveratrol, have been similarly touted for their health benefits based primarily on animal studies, but Cureton said his findings should serve as a reminder that the gold-standard of science is randomized, double-blinded studies in humans."
Note "animal studies."

The message:
"'The take home message here is that promising results in mice don't necessarily translate to humans,' Cureton said."
