Rutin
Description
This molecule, which belongs to the huge family of flavonoids, is chemically very similar to quercetin.
Buckwheat is one of the best food sources of rutin. Rutin is also found in citrus fruits (especially in the skin), grapes, red wine, apricots, cherries, blackberries and apple peel.
In these different fruits, rutin is usually combined with other flavonoids.
Clinical studies have investigated the effect of rutin in many areas, including the treatment of venous insufficiency and the relief of osteoarthritis.
