Information about Rutin

Rutin, a bioflavonoid, is a water-soluble antioxidant that is widely distributed in the plant kingdom. It is often found together with vitamin C in fruits and potentates vitamin C activity within the body. Rutin is particularly concentrated in buckwheat. In 1942, researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture postulated the important physiological effect of rutin on capillary blood vessels. The USDA also discovered that buckwheat was an economical source for isolating rutin and developed manufacturing procedures.

Bioflavonoids, in general, are essential for the processing of vitamin C within the body, the maintenance of capillary walls and the fortification of collagen, the intercellular "cement" of the body. A deficiency of rutin in the diet has been linked with abnormal capillary leakiness as well as pain in the extremities causing aches, weakness and night leg cramps. Supplemental rutin has been shown to reduce edema or excess swelling in the legs due to fluid retention. Like other bioflavonoids, rutin works best when given with vitamin C and other bioflavonoids. Rutin and other flavonoids are widely used for the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). In clinical trials, rutin has demonstrated its activity by improving venous tone and vein elasticity. Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies have shown an improvement in signs and symptoms related to chronic venous insufficiency including heavy legs, edema, paresthesia and cramps.

Additionally, a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study has shown that treatment with rutin for 2 weeks improved body temperature and was effective in controlling chronic venous hypertension, without side effect, and with good tolerability. Clinical research also shows that rutin can prevent the progression of micro-angiopathy to clinical stages and can prevent neuropathy. This is of particular importance for diabetic patients. Studies show that rutin is also effective treating hemorrhoids and reducing plasma free radicals both locally and systemically.

Suggested Dosage:

The recommended daily dose of rutin ranges from between 500mg to over 3000mg daily, depending upon the severity of the condition being treated. Significant healing of blood vessels with rutin can occur within only two weeks, although it is best to use flavonoids in therapeutic dosages for several months and then continue with maintenance dosages thereafter to produce and maintain the best results.

Interactions:

Rutin and other bioflavonoids tend to reduce blood platelet stickiness in a beneficial way and therefore may reduce the dosage required for blood thinners.
 

Contraindications:

Bioflavonoids, including rutin, tend to reduce blood platelet stickiness and therefore individuals taking blood thinners should consult with their physician prior to commencing supplementation.
 

Side Effects:

No signs of toxicity have been observed with the normal intake of rutin or other flavonoids.
