Did you know? In 1842 the Nuremberg pharmacist Weiss isolated the flavonoid rutin for the first time from the rue Ruta graveolens. The importance of these often yellow (Latin: flavus) plant pig-ments first came to light in the 1930s: thanks to Nobel laureate A. Szent-Györgyi, who was the first to isolate vitamin C. It was also he who gave the “vascular wall sealants” fla-vonoids the misleading name vitamin P. A little later, scientists found out that vitamin C alone cannot cure scurvy; it needs the natural substance rutin to help. This is where the outdated flavonoid name, vitamin C2, comes from.

Rutin, rutoside or chemically correct quercetin-3-O-rutinosid, is a glycosidated quercetin with the two-fold sugar rutinose. The substance is widespread in the plant kingdom and is particularly concentrated in parts of plants that are exposed to strong solar UV radiation. This protects plant cells from oxidative UV damage, because rutin is a highly effective rad-ical scavenger.

The largest known rutin producers are the wild pansy Viola tricolor, the Japanese pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum, also Sophora japonica) and the real buckwheat Fagopy-rum esculentum. Traditional Chinese medicine has used the rutin in tea leaves, citrus peels and many other plants since ancient times.

Rutin's health-promoting effects are valued and have since been extensively confirmed in studies - across many body functions. The basic properties are cell-protective throughout
