HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rutin 500 mg by The Vitamin Shoppe

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 500 mg per tablet. Rutin is a type of flavonoid, a plant compound found naturally in foods like buckwheat, citrus peel, and tea.

The tablet also includes several inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, stearic acid, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, croscarmellose sodium, and an aqueous film coating — which serve as binders, fillers, and to form the tablet itself.

Does it work?

Not established
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 established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Rutin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: circulatory support and vascular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Hemorrhoids, Varicose veins, Postoperative swelling, chronic venous insufficiency, easy bruising, capillary fragility.
  • The closest evidence on file: Rutin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Hemorrhoids (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rutin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Varicose veins, Postoperative swelling.

The evidence for rutin isn't established in our data for the conditions listed on this product's label — aging skin, autism spectrum disorder, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, exercise-related respiratory infections, and hemorrhoids all show insufficient reliable evidence to rate. That doesn't mean rutin doesn't work; it means the research we hold doesn't support a clear conclusion yet.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether rutin makes sense for what you're hoping to address.

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 when you take it short-term, but high-quality long-term safety data are limited. In some people, it may cause headache, flushing, or rashes.

The safety data for supplement doses during breastfeeding is unknown, so you should avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise. During pregnancy, rutin is rated as likely safe, but there isn't enough data to know what happens with supplement doses specifically — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or planning to be.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rutin

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 — including insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others — check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding rutin. Rutin may lower your blood sugar and could increase the risk of hypoglycemia when combined with these medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Rutin 500 mg is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but it's most important to check with your own doctor or pharmacist before taking it — especially if you take diabetes medications, since rutin might lower your blood sugar. The evidence for its effectiveness on the labeled conditions isn't clear yet in our data.

If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss this supplement with your healthcare provider before starting.
