Rutin is a bioflavonoid, or plant pigment, that is found in certain vegetables and fruits. Apples are full of rutin. Buckwheat, most citrus, figs, and both black and green tea also contain rutin.

Rutin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic, cytoprotective and vasoprotective actions.

It also helps your body produce collagen and use vitamin C.
