Rutin is a type of vitamin P and a glycoside of dehydroflavonoids. It is a hydrogen carrier and may participate in the action of oxidoreductase in the body, which can affect the activity of the thyroid gland and prevent adrenaline from oxidation. It can enhance the effect of vitamin C and promote its accumulation in the body. It can maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, reduce their permeability and reduce their fragility.
