What does RUTIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistrymedical
A yellow plant compound, a flavonoid glycoside, found in foods such as buckwheat, citrus fruit and certain teas, once called vitamin P and studied for its effect on blood vessel strength.
Chemists first isolated rutin from rue and later found it in many other plants, especially buckwheat, where it occurs in large amounts. It belongs to the same family of plant pigments as quercetin, and researchers have studied it for its antioxidant properties and its traditional use in supplements meant to support blood vessel health. Although older texts sometimes called it vitamin P, rutin is not classed as a true vitamin by modern nutritional science.
