Ascorutin: A Vascular-Strengthening Supplement

Overview

Ascorutin is a combination supplement containing rutoside and ascorbic acid. Rutoside is a flavonoid that supports vascular health, while ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an essential nutrient involved in collagen synthesis, immune function, and antioxidant protection.

Each tablet of Ascorutin typically contains 25 mg of rutoside and 100 mg of ascorbic acid.

Benefits

Ascorutin is commonly used to address conditions related to vascular health, including:

• Increased capillary fragility and permeability: Ascorutin can strengthen capillaries, reducing their susceptibility to damage and leakage.
• Vitamin C deficiency: Ascorbic acid replenishes vitamin C levels, which is essential for collagen synthesis and immune function.
• Varicose veins: Ascorutin may help reduce symptoms associated with varicose veins, such as pain, swelling, and heaviness.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Ascorutin varies depending on the condition being treated. It is generally recommended to take 1-2 tablets per day.

Ascorutin should be taken with meals to minimize the potential for gastrointestinal side effects.

Precautions and Contraindications

Ascorutin is generally considered safe for most individuals. However, certain precautions and contraindications should be noted:

• Iron absorption: Ascorbic acid can enhance the absorption of iron, which may be beneficial for individuals with iron deficiency but may be detrimental for those with hemochromatosis (excessive iron levels).
• Kidney stones: High doses of ascorbic acid may increase the risk of kidney stone formation in susceptible individuals.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety of Ascorutin during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established. Consult a healthcare professional before using.
