HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rutin 500 mg by Solgar

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: rutin, a plant compound found naturally in foods like buckwheat and apples. The tablet also includes several inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, silica, vegetable magnesium stearate, and vegetable glycerin—which serve as binders and fillers to hold the tablet together.

Does it work?

Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: antioxidant bioflavonoid support.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that rutin is effective for the conditions listed on the label—aging skin, autism spectrum disorder, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, exercise-induced respiratory infections, and hemorrhoids. For each of these, the data rates rutin as having insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies so far haven't been solid enough to say either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rutin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Rutin is generally well tolerated in food and in short-term supplement use, but long-term safety data at higher doses are limited. The most common side effects reported are headache, flushing, and rashes—and these occur in only some people.

For pregnancy, the safety data rate rutin as likely safe. For breastfeeding, however, there isn't enough safety data, so avoid supplement doses unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Rutin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 86 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take antidiabetes drugs—such as insulin, metformin, or sulfonylureas—check your specific medications before starting this product. Rutin may increase your risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and you may need dose monitoring or adjustment from your doctor or pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Rutin might appeal to you if you're interested in a plant-derived supplement, but the evidence for its intended uses isn't solid yet. If you take antidiabetes medication, definitely check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—the risk of low blood sugar is the key thing to watch.

For anyone else, talk it over with your own healthcare provider to see if it makes sense for you.
