Rutoside, also known as rutin, is a naturally occurring flavonoid glycoside commonly found in a variety of plants including buckwheat, citrus fruits, and berries. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been used as a vasoprotective agent in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids, and capillary fragility. While rutoside is available as a dietary supplement and in some over-the-counter formulations, it is not approved by major regulatory bodies like FDA or EMA for specific pharmaceutical indications.
