What are Rutin (bioflavonoids)?


Rutin(bioflavonoids) are found in the rind of green citrus fruits and in rose hips and black currants.Bioflavonoids have been used in alternative medicine as an aid to enhance the action of vitamin C, to support blood circulation, as an antioxidant, and to treat allergies, viruses, or arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.

Although bioflavonoids are not true vitamins, they are sometimes referred to as vitamin P, because they possess all the healthful qualities of vitamins.  Rutin is one of a class of flavonoids that also includes Hesperidin, Quercetin, Eriodictyl and Citron and is essential for the absorption of vitamin C.

Normally found in highly nutritious foods, such as citrus, red apples, teas, broccoli and onions, etc.,you can easily take it in supplement form; and because the human body cannot produce bioflavonoids, they must be supplied through the diet - and we should supply them to maximize sound health!
