HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rutin 500 mg by Thompson

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 concentrate at 500 mg per tablet. Rutin is a bioflavonoid — a plant compound found naturally in foods.

The tablet also contains inactive ingredients (cellulose, stearic acid, and silica) that help hold it together and aid absorption.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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

This is a single-ingredient Rutin product and its label doesn't state a use — see Rutin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

We don't have solid evidence that rutin works for the conditions listed on this product — aging skin, autism spectrum disorder, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, exercise-induced respiratory infections, or hemorrhoids. The data we hold rates all of them as having insufficient reliable evidence to rate.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies aren't there yet to prove it does.

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 short-term supplement use, but we don't have high-quality long-term safety data at supplement doses. The safety data advises against taking this supplement unless your doctor specifically advises otherwise.

A small number of people taking rutin orally report headache, flushing, or rashes. For pregnancy, the safety data rates rutin as likely safe.

For breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before taking it while breastfeeding.

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 (such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin), check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting rutin — the combination could increase the risk of low blood sugar.

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.

If you take antidiabetes medication, this product calls for a careful check with your doctor or pharmacist first, since rutin may lower blood sugar. The long-term safety profile at supplement doses isn't well established, and we don't have evidence it works for the conditions typically marketed for it.

That said, if your doctor gives the green light and your blood sugar monitoring is set up, it's an option to discuss.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Rutin 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while I'm pregnant?
The safety data rates rutin as likely safe in pregnancy. That's the information we hold — but if you're pregnant, run it past your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for your situation.
What side effects does rutin cause?
A small number of people report headache, flushing, or rashes when taking rutin orally. Most tolerate it well, especially at short-term doses, but we don't have solid long-term safety data at supplement levels.
Does rutin actually work for diabetes?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether rutin works for diabetes. What we do know is that animal research suggests it may lower blood sugar, which is why combining it with diabetes drugs needs caution.
What is rutin, and why is it in this supplement?
Rutin is a bioflavonoid — a plant compound naturally found in foods like buckwheat and citrus. It's marketed for several conditions including aging skin, IBD, hemorrhoids, and diabetes, though we don't have strong evidence it works for any of them yet.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Short-term use is generally well tolerated, but we don't have high-quality long-term safety data for supplement doses of rutin. If you're thinking long-term, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.
