RUTIN Product No. P1807


Rutin is one of several bioflavonoids that provide colour and taste to fruits and vegetables.
Rutin, and bioflavonoids in general, help to strengthen capillaries, and it is an essential substance for the absorption and use of vitamin C, particularly in maintaining collagen, the tissue which supports the epidermis - the outer layer of cells.

Rutin is widely used in the treatment of allergies, and studies have shown that it can slow down the release of histamine, the chemical released by mast cells that trigger common allergic reactions such as a stuffy nose. It is commonly included in anti-allergy formulas designed to relieve the symptoms of hay fever and asthma, and does not tend to cause side effects such as drowsiness typical of many antihistamine products.

Because of its ability to strengthen capillaries, rutin may also be an effective treatment for bruises, varicose veins and haemorrhoids. As are other flavonoids, rutin is an anti-inflammatory agent, and has also shown antiviral, antimicrobial and anticancer activity.

  • chitosan

    Chitosan is derived from chitin, which is found in the exoskeletons of shellfish such as crabs and prawns. It is similar to plant fibre in that it cannot be digested by the human body.
    Chitosan is a fat blocker, absorbing four to six times its weight in fat as it passes through the digestive tract. It thereby flushes fat out of the body before it becomes metabolised and stored as excess body weight.
