Rutin – Part 1 of 10

Rutin, a bioflavonoid with potent anti-inflammatory properties, is primarily found in buckwheat and is also present in varying amounts in asparagus, citrus fruit and tea.

Because it has been shown to prevent bruising and swelling and appears to strengthen blood capillaries, rutin shows promise in the prevention and treatment of venous leg disease. Rutin may also lock the production of histamine, the substance responsible for allergic reactions in the body.

The beneficial effects of rutin appear to be strengthened when it is consumed with foods that are high in vitamin C.
