Fisetin: half-life, strengths and approval status

Amounts studied · Approval status · Half-life ~1.1 hours

What is fisetin?

Fisetin is a flavonol, a plant pigment found in small amounts in fruits such as strawberries. It is sold as a dietary supplement.

Amounts studied

Fisetin has no intake value or upper limit. The only human pharmacokinetic study we found used a single 1,000 mg dose of plain fisetin and of an encapsulated formulation (Krishnakumar 2022). That is a study protocol, not a recommendation.

Approval status and how it is used

It is sold in the US as a dietary supplement. Under the 1994 dietary supplement law (DSHEA), FDA does not approve dietary supplements before they are marketed, and the maker, not FDA, is responsible for safety and labeling. There is no FDA-approved fisetin drug.

The authors of the one human pharmacokinetic study (Krishnakumar 2022, 15 healthy adults, funded by a supplement maker) describe it as the first of its kind. Plain fisetin reached low blood levels and was not detectable after 2 hours; no adverse events were reported. Evidence in people beyond that is limited.

Fisetin half-life and time to peak

  • Half-lifeabout 1.1 hours
  • Time to peak (Tmax)about 1 hour
  • Route in Dose TrackBy mouth (oral)

In the only human pharmacokinetic study we found (Krishnakumar 2022), plain fisetin (1,000 mg) peaked about 0.9 hours after a dose with a half-life of about 1.1 hours; an encapsulated form peaked at about 1.2 hours with a half-life of about 1.5 hours. Dose Track uses the plain-fisetin figures: a 1.1-hour half-life and a 1-hour peak.

Numbers shown are the values Dose Track uses, listed only where they agree with the source above. Half-life varies from person to person and with injection site.

How to track fisetin in Dose Track

  1. Add fisetin from the built-in list. It sits next to everything else you take, so a GLP-1, TRT and a few peptides all live in one log.
  2. Log each dose when you take it so your history shows exactly what you took and when.
  3. Set reminders on your own schedule, whether that is daily, weekly or every few days.
  4. Your log stays on your phone.

Frequently asked questions

What is the half-life of fisetin?+
Dose Track uses a half-life of about 1.1 hours for fisetin. In the only human pharmacokinetic study we found (Krishnakumar 2022), plain fisetin (1,000 mg) peaked about 0.9 hours after a dose with a half-life of about 1.1 hours; an encapsulated form peaked at about 1.2 hours with a half-life of about 1.5 hours. Dose Track uses the plain-fisetin figures: a 1.1-hour half-life and a 1-hour peak.
Can I track fisetin in Dose Track?+
Yes. Fisetin is built into Dose Track. You can log each dose next to your other compounds, set reminders on your own schedule, and see your history next to your lab results. Your log stays on your phone.
