I recently found out that the tea I’ve been drinking has a fair dose of quercetin in it, and that even though my endo didn’t flag the tea drinking when I mentioned it, the information I can find about quercetin indicates that with chronic exposure it can effect your various adrenal levels. Like make your cortisol show a false normal, and progesterone show up lower. I’m having trouble figuring out what it would have done to my aldosterone and some of the other levels. I guess a strong cup of two a day counts as chronic. And even the NIH wasn’t able to make any sense out of my ACTH tests.

Would there be any way for my test results to be re-intepeted in light of the quercetin, or are they just a lost cause? I no longer have any way to afford a repeat test :(
