Rutin
Is one of the many existing Flavonoids. Flavonoids are a class of water-soluble
plant pigments. Flavonoids support health by strengthening capillaries and
other connective tissue, and some function as anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic,
and antiviral agents. Rutin and several other flavonoids may also protect blood
vessels. Rutin was shown to stimulate wound healing in rats and augment the
tensile strength of scar tissue significantly(18).
