Rutoside, also known as rutin, is a medicine that has been used in medicine since the XNUMXth century. It has a decisive effect on the body, but it is possible to overdose it. How does rutoside work? In what situations is it worth using it? We check what properties rutoside has and when it will be most effective. We are also looking for products that will have the most routine in the composition.
What is rutoside?
Rutoside, which is more often called rutin, is an organic compound that belongs to the group of flavonoids. It is mainly obtained from the flowers of the Japanese pearl or buckwheat herb. Other plants thanks to which you can get a valuable routine are: elderberry, St. John’s wort, black chokeberry, tricolor violet, rue, peppermint and barberry. The most rutoside is found in vegetables and fruits such as onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, grapes, oranges, limes, blueberries and lemons.
Rutoside – what are its properties?
Rutoside most often occurs in connection with vitamin C. Preparations containing both substances are usually used in the fall-winter season, when it is easiest to catch the flu or a cold. Rutoside seals blood vessels, reducing runny nose, and positively influencing the body’s immunity. This is possible due to the content of hyaluronidase. Apart from that rutin as an antioxidant prolongs the action of ascorbic acid. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, including blocking some allergic reactions.

In addition, rutoside is used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis and diabetic retinopathy. Interestingly, routine is often a component of multivitamin supplements. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as the main component of face creams, tonics and body lotions.
Rutoside – how should it be dosed?
Rutoside most often comes in the form of tablets that can be taken 1-2 times a day. Taking into account the patient’s health condition, the doctor may increase or decrease the dosage of supplements containing routine. It is not sold separately. The price of rutoside (most often combined with vitamin C) usually depends on the number of tablets contained in the package and the concentration of individual ingredients. Rutoside can be purchased over the counter.
Rutoside – side effects of excessive use
The use of preparations with rutoside may reduce the effectiveness of antidepressants and increase the effect of the anticoagulants used.
