Rutin (20% Rutin derived from Sophora japonica)
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. Bioflavonoids are said to support vitamin C's efficacy, and should be taken at the same time for supporting our healthy eyes, veins and capillaries, as well as provide support for healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels already within normal range, healthy blood circulation throughout the body and overall cardiovascular health. Rutin provides plant compounds to nourish and maintain the natural health of the body's collagen (intercellular cement) and cells. Rutin supplements are a convenient and simple way to provide this natural source of good health!

History:
Rutin is the glycoside between the flavonol Quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose and is one of many bioflavonoids that are not actual vitamins in the strictest sense, sometimes being referred to as vitamin P, and often called the companion of vitamin C. The letter "P" represents "Permeability" factor, and it was given to this group of nutrients because they support capillary and blood vessel integrity and permeability. Bioflavonoids may be found in herbal plants, fruits and fruit rinds (especially citrus fruits: orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime and contained mainly in the edible pulp of the fruits, rather than in the strained juices), vegetables and nuts, etc.; and because they cannot be manufactured by the body, they must be supplied through the diet. Bioflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that includes Rutin, Hesperidin, Quercetin, Eriodictyl and Citron, and they are essential for the absorption of vitamin C, which should be taken simultaneously, so they may act synergistically for maximum benefit. Citrus fruits are a great source of bioflavonoids, and other sources include apricots, nuts, peppers, grapes, buckwheat (which frequently supplies Rutin), blackberries, black currants, cherries, plums, prunes and rose hips. In addition, several herbs also provide bioflavonoids, including Chervil, Elderberry, Hawthorne Berry, Horsetail and Shepherd's Purse. The Rutin supplied by the "Japanese Pagoda Tree" or "Chinese Scholar Tree" (Saphora japonica) is believed to be a superior source and provide four to five times more Rutin than buckwheat. Flavonoids have been studied since the 1940s, and their antioxidant support is now considered sound.
