What rutin and quercetin do
Support capillary strength
Rutin has been studied for supporting the integrity of small blood vessels.
Antioxidant protection
Both flavonoids help neutralize free radicals.
Healthy inflammatory response
Quercetin has been widely researched for this role.
Why circulation matters for the inner ear
The inner ear is supplied by a tiny artery and its fine branches. Healthy small-vessel circulation helps deliver the oxygen and nutrients the balance organs need. That is why VertiFree combines Sophora japonica with vitamins D and K, ligustrum and 15 herbs.
Food sources of rutin and quercetin
- Buckwheat
