Mega AntiOxidant: Rutin
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).
Sources
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.
Health Benefits of Rutin
One of the most talked about benefits of rutin, however, has to be its help for varicosities. That means it can be helpful to maintain rigid blood vessels, and can help people who bleed or bruise easily from damage. Also, rutin helps the body utilize vitamin C and maintain collagen, two processes that definitely have a positive effect on the body. Collagen helps keep our skin healthy, elastic, and firm. Collagens breakdown has been attributed to wrinkles and lines.
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 is highly recommended for those suffering from hemorrhoids, poor blood circulation, skin bruises and varicose veins. It is best taken as a supplement only if there is a specific need for it. However, if you do not especially need this bioflavonoid for any special reason, incorporating this bioflavonoid as part of your daily multi-vitamin intake will enhance absorption of these vitamins and will definitely make you healthier.
Rutin inhibits platelet aggregation, as well as decreasing capillary permeability, making the blood thinner and improving circulation. Rutin shows anti-inflammatory activity in some animal and in vitro models. Rutin inhibits aldose reductase activity[citation needed]. Aldose reductase is an enzyme normally present in the eye and elsewhere in the body. It helps change glucose into a sugar alcohol called sorbitol. Rutin also strengthens the capillaries[citation needed], and, therefore, can reduce the symptoms of haemophilia. It also may help to prevent a common unpleasant-looking venous edema of the legs, however a double-blind clinical study on the effect of buckwheat tea containing rutin did not show a significant effect above placebo. Rutin, as ferulic acid, can reduce the cytotoxicity of oxidized LDL cholesterol and lower the risk of heart disease. Rutin is also an antioxidant, along with quercetin, acacetin, morin, hispidulin, hesperidin, and naringin; it was found to be the strongest. However, in other trials, the effects of rutin were lower or negligible compared to those of quercetin.
Rutin Dosage
Rutin Dosage
Researches have suggested the effectivity or rutin doses that range from 200 to 600 milligrams. As commercial supplements, however, rutin tablets and rutin capsules are usually sold in 500 mg doses. The amount of rutin you take depends largely on why you are taking the medication. However, a regular dose of 500 mg taken once or twice a day is seen to be safe and effective.
Side Effects of Rutin
Rutin side effects are rare, but a few people have reported having experienced dizziness, heart racing, headache, muscle stiffness, fatigue, diarrhea, and upset stomach after taking rutin. Allergic reactions may occur in a few individuals. Symptoms of allergic reactions are chest pains, skin rashes, swelling and breathing problems. Allergic reactions happen very rarely as well.
