What is Rutin?
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.
How Rutin Works?
Rutin (quercetin rutinoside), like quercitrin, is a glycoside of the flavonoid quercetin. As such, the chemical structures of both are very similar, with the difference existing in the hydroxyl functional group. Both quercetin and rutin are used in many countries as medications for blood vessel protection, and are ingredients of numerous multivitamin preparations and herbal remedies.
What are the Benefits of taking Rutin?
We consider rutin an important nutritional supplement because of its vast repairing properties, like strengthening capillaries, preventing high blood pressure and, as recent studies have found, it contains high amounts of antioxidants that fight free radicals.
According to the Linus Pauling Institute, flavonoids are a large family of compounds produced by plants, and rutin is a flavonoid found in foods such as buckwheat, berries, citrus fruits and green tea. Rutin might be therapeutic for varicose veins, rheumatoid arthritis, and other conditions associated with inflammation, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune diseases.
To date, research on the health effects of rutin supplements is very limited and often dated. However, some studies suggest that rutin may offer certain health benefits. Here's a look at some key study findings:
1 Rutin for Inflammation
According to the Linus Pauling Institute, flavonoids such as rutin might help decrease inflammation in the body through a number of cell signaling pathways. Chronic inflammation is associated with a number of health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Rutin decreases inflammation by modulating the immune system, which might make it valuable for a number of health conditions, but further research is needed to verify its potential.
Preliminary research indicates that rutin may help treat inflammatory bowel disease (such as colitis). In a study published in Life Sciences, tests on rats revealed that rutoside may help reduce colonic tissue damage caused by colitis.
2 Rutin for Blood vessels
According to the Mayo Clinic, varicose veins are enlarged veins near the surface of the skin. Legs and feet are most commonly affected. Multiple studies have shown that rutin might improve venous circulation by decreasing capillary permeability and strengthening vein walls.
Also according to a small study published in the journal Minerva Cardioangiologica in 2001. Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins do not efficiently return blood from the legs to the heart, and is linked to health problems like varicose veins, ankle swelling, and nighttime leg cramping. For the study, 30 patients with chronic venous insufficiency were assigned to either a control group or treatment with a combination of rutin, alpha-tocopherol (a form of vitamin E), sweet clover, and gotu kola. After 30 days, members of the treatment group showed significant improvement in symptoms (such as swelling and cramps). However, it's unknown whether rutin might be beneficial in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency when consumed on its own.
Rutin even may help treat varicose veins in pregnant women, according to a 2007 report published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. In their analysis of three previously published clinical trials (including a total of 159 women), scientists determined that rutoside appears to help relieve the symptoms of varicose veins in late pregnancy. However, the review's authors note that there is not enough data to assess the safety of using rutoside during pregnancy.
3 Rutin for Arthritis
According to the Mayo Clinic, rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition of the joints that causes pain, swelling and joint deformity. An anti-inflammatory diet and inflammation-reducing foods might be helpful for rheumatoid arthritis. More specifically, according to a study from the journal "Arthritis Research and Therapy," rutin was able to decrease levels of inflammatory markers and symptoms of arthritis in mice.
Also it suggests a 2008 study from Arthritis Research & Therapy. In tests on rats, researchers found that rutin helped fight inflammation and, in turn, reduce clinical signs of arthritis.
4 Rutin for Antioxidant
Rutin also is an antioxidant, as are other flavonoids. Research indicates that antioxidants play roles in slowing the aging process and in cancer prevention. It should be noted that the Linus Pauling Institute says that while flavonoids have antioxidant value in the test tube, their activity is likely much lower in the body than other antioxidants, such as vitamin C.
In short, rutin is a powerful ally for those wishing to strengthen immunity or boost the healing process after an accident or a surgery. It helps to ward off a whole range of illnesses, and that is why we include it in our Repair Natural Enzyme Supplement.
Dosages of Rutin
It is should be considered whether the supplement you choose is high enough in rutin to have a therapeutic effect. At least 400mg a day and up to 3000mg can be the level required to achieve benefits for specific conditions. This dose should be spread throughout the day. Remember to always talk to your nutritionist or naturopath about the right amount for you.
For example:
The following doses have been studied in scientific research
BY MOUTH:
For osteoarthritis: 2 tablets of a combination product (Phlogenzym), which contains 100 mg of rutin, 48 mg of trypsin, and 90 mg of bromelain, 3 times daily.
Side effects of taking Rutin
Rutin is safe used appropriately for a short amount of time when consumed in the amounts found naturally in foods like citrus, onions, and apples. And little is known about the safety of long-term use of rutin supplements. However, rutin supplements may cause certain side effects, including headache, rashes, and upset stomach.
If you're considering the use of rutin in treatment of a chronic condition, make sure to consult your physician. It's important to note that self-treating a chronic condition with rutin and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences.
Warning: Do not take rutin if:You are pregnant or breast-feeding.
