Rutin Gains Prominence in Dietary Supplements
The natural flavonoid rutin, also known as "vitamin P," is becoming more common in dietary supplements and the food industry due to its antioxidant properties.
Shaanxi Ruiwo Phytochem Co., Ltd. reports growing interest in rutin, a natural flavonoid increasingly featured in dietary supplements and food products.
Rutin, also known as rutoside or "vitamin P," is appearing more frequently on dietary supplement labels and in botanical extract specifications. The company supplies rutin as a raw material for dietary supplements, food applications, and pharmaceuticals, noting its antioxidant properties and potential benefits for vascular health.
The compound's increased visibility is linked to growing consumer interest in natural health ingredients. Shaanxi Ruiwo Phytochem highlights that rutin is widely distributed in plants such as buckwheat, citrus fruits, apples, and green tea.
The company explains that rutin is a glycoside of quercetin, which can be metabolized in the body to quercetin and other compounds. Shaanxi Ruiwo Phytochem also distinguishes rutin from the related but chemically different compound, troxerutin.
