Troxerutin is a flavonoid compound derived from rutin, commonly used in European and Asian countries for its vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. In relation to the nervous system, there is a growing body of preclinical scientific evidence indicating that troxerutin has neuroprotective properties. Animal studies have shown that troxerutin can reduce oxidative stress, inhibit neuroinflammation, and protect against neuronal damage in models of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. For example, troxerutin has been shown to attenuate cognitive deficits and decrease beta-amyloid deposition in Alzheimer’s disease models, as well as reduce dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinsonian models. The mechanisms proposed include antioxidant activity, suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and inhibition of apoptosis in neural cells.

However, most of the evidence so far is derived from animal studies and in vitro experiments; there is a lack of robust clinical trials in humans that confirm these neuroprotective effects. While the preclinical results are promising, more research is needed to establish effective dosages, safety, and clinical efficacy in humans. In summary, the use of troxerutin to support the nervous system is primarily justified by scientific (preclinical) evidence rather than traditional use, with a moderate level of evidence (rated 3/5) based on current available studies.
