Introduction:

Rutin, its name comes from the name of Ruta graveolens, a plant that also contains rutin. In its pure form, its color can vary from yellow to yellow-green. Rutin is a plant pigment (flavonoid) that is found in fruits and vegetables. The major sources of rutin for medical use include buckwheat, Japanese pagoda tree, and Eucalyptus macrorhyncha. Also available in supplement form, rutin contains quercetin (an antioxidant shown to reduce inflammation and offer a range of health benefits). Proponents claim that rutin supplements can help treat certain health conditions by strengthening the blood vessels.

Rutin was first identified in 1842. At this time it was thought its main function was to reduce excessive bleeding. It wasn't until about 100 years later that its other health effects began to be uncovered.

For humans and animals, it sometimes is used for anti-inflammatory treatments and to repair weakened blood vessels.

the strongest.
