Description of the Rutin Extract
Rutin, also called rutoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside and sophorin, is a citrus flavonoid glycoside
found in the flower bud of Scphora japonica L. Rutin is also present in many other plants and
sometimes referred to as Vitamin P, although not strictly a vitamin.
Rutin inhibits platelet aggregation, as well as decreasing capillary permeability, making the blood
thinner and improving circulation. Rutin has anti-inflammatory activity. Rutin inhibits aldose
reductase activity. 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, and, therefore, can reduce the symptoms of haemophilia.
