Narirutin

Narirutin is a flavanone glycoside found in various plants, notably in the rind of citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, and in the herb rosemary. Its chemical structure consists of the flavanone naringenin linked to a rutinoside sugar moiety. Narirutin is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which are attributed to its ability to scavenge free radicals and modulate inflammatory pathways.

Research has explored narirutin's potential health benefits. Studies suggest it may play a role in cardiovascular health by helping to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. It has also been investigated for its potential antidiabetic effects, with some research indicating it may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Furthermore, narirutin has shown promise in neuroprotection, potentially safeguarding brain cells from damage.

While narirutin is present in many common foods, its bioavailability and absorption in the human body can vary. Further research is ongoing to fully understand its therapeutic potential and optimal dosage for various health conditions. It is naturally occurring and does not typically present as a synthetic compound.
