“…Our previous work showed that although we administrated this dose, rutin's concentration in the rats’ lung was only about 1.86 μg mL −1 (3 μmol L −1 ), 26 which may be because most of the rutin is excreted from the body as the original drug due to rutin's low solubility and bioavailability. 33,34 The animal dose of rutin is approximately 31.75 mg kg −1 d −1 for a human by converting it with A = k ( W 2/3 )/10 000 ( A , body surface area; k , a constant that varies with species; W , body weight). According to most of the rutin supplements on the market in the Dietary Supplement Label Database (), the recommended dietary dose ranges from 500 mg to 4 g per day, and it is feasible to reach this intake, but this dose only predicts the initial dose, and further study would optimize its therapeutic concentration in humans.…”
