Rutin is used to treat conditions related to blood vessel health, including chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and capillary fragility. It may also be used to reduce edema and support overall microcirculation.
As a bioflavonoid, rutin strengthens capillary walls, reduces their permeability, and provides antioxidant protection against free radical damage. It may also help reduce inflammation in blood vessel tissues and support collagen integrity.
Rutin is generally well-tolerated when used at recommended doses. It may interact with blood-thinning medications. Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications. Often available as an over-the-counter dietary supplement.
