Myricetin is a member of the flavonoid class of polyphenolic compounds, with antioxidant properties.[1] Common dietary sources[2] include vegetables (including tomatoes), fruits (including oranges), nuts, berries, tea,[3] and red wine.[4]

Myricetin is structurally similar to fisetin, luteolin, and quercetin and is reported to have many of the same functions as these other members of the flavonol class of flavonoids.[3] Reported average intake of myricetin per day varies depending on diet, but has been shown in the Netherlands to average 23 mg/day.[5]

Myricetin is produced from the parent compound taxifolin through the (+)-dihydromyricetin intermediate and can be further processed to form laricitrin and then syringetin, both members of the flavonol class of flavonoids.[6] Dihydromyricetin is frequently sold as a supplement and has controversial function as a partial GABAA receptor potentiator and treatment in Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Myricetin can alternatively be produced directly from kaempferol, which is another flavonol.[6]
