Rutin powder is a concentrated form of the flavonoid rutin, naturally present in buckwheat, citrus fruits, and other plants. It helps keep capillaries strong and promotes healthy circulation.
People often take it as a supplement to support cardiovascular wellness. Mix it into water, juice, or smoothies, or take it in capsules.
Cautions: Rutin can interact with blood-thinning medications such as warfarin and aspirin because of its antiplatelet effects. Talk to a healthcare professional before using if you have a bleeding disorder, are scheduled for surgery, or are pregnant or nursing.
