Rutin is a powerful combatant of free radicals and is best known for its role in vascular health. Rutin helps to maintain the structural integrity of blood vessels, such as veins and capillaries. Scientific studies suggest that it may help to support vascular function and promote healthy circulation.

About this product

Rutin, a bioflavonoid naturally found in citrus and other fruits, has many synergistic actions with horse chestnut. Over 40 years of clinical trials have shown rutin to help capillary permeability, bruising, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. It can improve venous tone and help veins be less flaccid. For varicose veins, rutin can lessen pain, sensations of tired legs, and night cramps. After twelve weeks on rutin, up to 90% of subjects with hemorrhoids experienced benefit. Rutin has antioxidant actions: it increases the amounts of vitamin C within cells and scavenges free radicals which may then help chronic venous insufficiency.

In addition, rutin can reduce capillary leaking and edema. It improves blood flow by strengthening the cells that line the inside of blood vessels, and by supporting collagen, the protein that helps to hold cells, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and all connective tissue together. Because rutin can strengthen blood vessels, it has been taken to prevent hemorrhagic strokes due to broken veins or arteries. Rutin is anti-inflammatory, and helpful for venous edema and possibly even hypertension and surface vein thrombosis.
