Summary

This study tests whether taking quercetin, a natural compound found in foods like apples and onions, can slow lung scarring and improve breathing in people with pulmonary fibrosis. About 100 adults with this chronic lung disease will either receive quercetin pills plus their usual care, or just their usual care. Researchers will measure changes in lung function, inflammation, and cell aging over 32 weeks to see if quercetin offers any benefit.
