[Description: Rutin is a bioflavonoid. Pure rutin is yellow or yellow-green colored needle-shaped crystal. Rutin is a flavonol glycoside comprised of the quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose (rhamnose and glucose).

Distribution: Rutin is found in many plants, fruits and vegetables. The richest source is buckwheat. Rutin is also found in citrus fruits, noni, black tea, apple peel. During digestion much of the rutin is metabolized to its aglycone, quercetin.

Action of Rutin: Rutin has strong antioxidant properties. Rutin has also the property to chelate metal ions, such as iron, thereby reducing the Fenton reaction (production damaging oxygen radicals). Rutin also seems to stabilize vitamin C. If rutin is taken together with vitamin C, the activity of ascorbic will be intensified.
Rutin is important because it strengthens capillaries and can help people who bruise or bleed easily. Studies have demonstrated that rutin can help to stop venous edema, that is an early sign of chronic venous disease of the leg.
Rutin has anti-inflammatory effects. Animal studies have shown that rutin has preventive and healing effects.
There are indications that rutin can inhibit some cancerous and pre-cancerous conditions.
Rutin may help to prevent atherogenesis and reduce the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL-cholesterol.]

[Rutin

The flavonoid rutin is a flavonol glycoside comprised of the flavonol quercetin (see Quercetin) and the disaccharide rutinose. Rutin is found in many plants, especially buckwheat. Other rich dietary sources of rutin include black tea and apple peels.

Rutin is considered to be an important nutritional supplement because of its ability to strengthen capillaries, whereby helping people suffering from arteriosclerosis (the hardening of the arteries), high blood pressure or venous insufficiency. Rutin belongs to a group of plant compounds called bioflavonoids that also include the important catechins of green tea and the polyphenols of red wine. Recent studies have shown that the bioflavonoids are powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals. Free radicals are said to be responsible for as much as 90 percent of all the human diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, strokes, senility due to aging, etc.

Typical doses used are 500 mg once or twice daily. Those with venous insufficiency/varicose veins often use 500 mg taken twice daily.

My Goodness Jo,

We are so blessed to have you here. You are so sharp with research.:) Sharp as a tack.

This sounds like this could be up's Willy N. (Vicc's) alley, I wonder if he knows anything about it?

I have only been taking the tablets for about 5 days. But at least I didn't see side effects with the med.

Thanks so much, you are such a joy. Love, Roz xxx

I love the fact that the "richest source [of Rutin] is buckwheat." How cool is that?

Mike

I didn't think to compare the dosage amount with something like grape seed ext. But maybe they felt the rutan covers something the GSE may not??
