Rutin is a plant pigment found in some fruits and vegetables. Buckwheat, locust and eucalyptus are sources of rutin. Rutin is also found in linden flowers, elderflowers, hawthorn, rue, St. John's wort, ginkgo, apples and other fruits and vegetables. Rutin may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. It may also provide some protection against cancer and other diseases. Rutin is commonly used to treat autism, skin aging, exercise-induced airway infections, and many other uses, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
