for Varicose Veins
Rutin (rutoside) is a naturally occurring flavonoid that reduces capillary fragility, oedema, and vascular permeability in chronic venous insufficiency.
How it works
Rutin inhibits platelet aggregation, reduces capillary permeability through antioxidant action, and decreases inflammatory cytokine activity in the venous wall.
What to watch for
More evidence for oedema and heaviness than for visible varicosity reduction. Dietary sources (buckwheat, apples) provide small amounts — supplement form is used in trials.
