Quercitin-β-glucoside is more easily absorbed than the aglycone quercitin. Isorhamnetin-β-glucoside, which is chemically similar to quercitin, differing only by a single methoxyl group, is more readily absorbed.
Here again the consumption of a bioflavonoid (quercitin) was related to the incidence of CAD mortality. It was found that men who consumed (from the diet) less than 10 mg per day of quercitin had a 200% increase in the CAD death rate, compared to those who consumed more than 30 mg.
In the case of the flavanol quercitin, the absorption spectrum of quercitin itself was red-shifted and its fluorescence intensity increased, while the fluorescence intensity of albumin was quenched.
Use quercitin when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
