There’s a good reason you should eat a lot of plants, they have many marvelous health benefits, and generally taste good too!
Eating your nutrients is nearly always the best way to get them – even better if you have spray free or organic produce (bonus points for local or home-grown food). We’ve all heard the old saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Interestingly rutin is found primarily in tea leaves and apples. Grandma was on to something.
So why might you want to supplement with bioflavonoids, and in particular out of all the thousands of flavonoid compounds available, and all of the wonderful health supporting properties, why should you be interested in rutin?
