Strengthen Blood Vessels at the Core, Supporting Long-Term Circulatory Health
The circulatory system is one of the body's vital lifelines, responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues throughout the body while removing metabolic waste. To ensure this complex system functions efficiently, blood vessels must remain strong, flexible, and resilient to the constant mechanical stress of blood flow as well as oxidative damage.
Formulations combining vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that helps protect vascular cells from oxidative stress with Rutin, a naturally occurring flavonoid extracted from Japanese pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum, formerly Sophora japonica), offer comprehensive support for vascular health. Rutin helps strengthen capillary walls and support capillary integrity, thereby helping reduce the risk of minor capillary fragility and small subcutaneous bleeding, an effective nutritional approach to maintaining healthy blood vessels.
A Formulation with Complementary Active Ingredients
- Vitamin C
Vitamin C has long been recognized as a potent antioxidant that helps neutralize harmful free radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage. Some studies have also suggested that vitamin C may support the body's natural production of interferons, helping maintain normal immune function, support the body's natural defenses, and contribute to healthy aging.
Beyond its antioxidant properties, Vitamin C plays an essential role in collagen synthesis. It is required for the production of collagen, a key structural protein found in the skin, bones, tendons, and, importantly, the walls of blood vessels. By supporting normal collagen formation, vitamin C helps maintain the strength, integrity, and elasticity of blood vessels, contributing to overall vascular health.
- Rutin (Styphnolobium japonicum Extract)
Rutin, sometimes referred to as vitamin P, is a naturally occurring flavonoid found in the Japanese pagoda tree. It is widely recognized for its ability to help strengthen blood vessel walls, support capillary integrity, and maintain normal vascular elasticity. Rutin also helps reduce capillary permeability, thereby supporting healthy microcirculation and helping protect blood vessels from everyday wear and tear.
Similar to vitamin C, Rutin also exhibits potent antioxidant activity, helping protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals.
Additionally, some studies suggest that Rutin may help support healthy blood flow by inhibiting platelet aggregation and fibrin formation during abnormal formation of blood clot (thrombosis) which is a contributing factor to vascular occlusion and serious cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and stroke.
The Benefits of Naturally Derived Extracts
When sourced from the flower buds of the Japanese pagoda tree (Styphnolobium japonicum), Rutin offers several notable advantages over other botanical sources:
- One of the richest natural sources of Rutin: Among the many plant species known to contain Rutin, the flower buds of the Japanese pagoda tree are recognized as one of the richest natural sources, with Rutin concentrations reported to be up to four to five times higher than those of many other plants
- Greater biological activity than extracts from some other botanical sources
- Good bioavailability: Studies suggest that Rutin derived from Japanese pagoda tree flower buds is relatively well absorbed by the body and can contribute to its biological activity
- Well-established safety profile: Japanese pagoda tree has been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries. When consumed at the recommended dosage, Rutin extracted from this botanical source is generally considered safe and well tolerated.
“The Golden Synergy” of Vitamin C and Rutin
Rutin-C STELLA is formulated to support individuals with fragile blood vessels, those who are prone to nosebleeds or unexplained bruising, older adults, and anyone seeking to maintain healthy vascular function. Combining two well-established ingredients with clearly defined origins and documented scientific evidence, Rutin-C STELLA offers a safe and effective nutritional solution to help support blood vessel integrity and maintain healthy circulation.
The unique combination of Vitamin C and Rutin provides several complementary benefits:
- Powerful antioxidant support: Both Vitamin C and Rutin are potent antioxidants. Together, they help protect cells and blood vessels from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, supporting overall vascular health
- Supports blood vessel strength: Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis, while Rutin helps strengthen blood vessel walls and maintain normal capillary permeability. Working together, they help support vascular integrity and reduce capillary fragility
- Helps maintain healthy vascular function: Through their complementary antioxidant and vascular-supporting properties, Vitamin C and Rutin help protect blood vessels from oxidative damage while supporting normal circulatory function.
