For those who can't tolerate Rose Hips or Ascorbic Acid based Vitamin C, Rutin is the perfect vitamin c supplement alternative dervied from natural sources. Rutin is a powerful antioxident, along with quercetin, acacetin, morin, hispidulin, hesperidin, and naringin, it was found to be the strongest. Rutin, also called rutoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside and sophorin, is a citrus flavonoid glycoside found in buckwheat, the leaves and petioles of Rheum species, and asparagus. Rutin is also found in the fruit of the Fava D'Anta tree (from Brazil), fruits and fruit rinds (especially citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime)) and berries such as mulberry and cranberries. Its name comes from the name of Ruta graveolens, a plant that also contains rutin. It is sometimes referred to as Vitamin P although not strictly a vitamin. Rutin is the glycoside between the flavonol quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose. Rutin can be created by bonding a disaccharide onto the hydroxyl group of Quercetin. Solgar offers two different rutin supplement products: 50mg available in 50 or 100 tablets jars.
