Product Description
Rosehips have a long history of usage in Europe from early Christians who crafted the first rosary beads from rosehips to Viking invaders who used rosehips as a source of vitamin C to keep them healthy on their epic voyages. During the Second World War British school children were given the job of collecting rosehips from hedgerows to make into rosehip syrup as a source of vitamin C that was difficult to obtain from food normally imported due to the German U boat blockade. Even today rosehips are still an important part of the traditional Scandinavian food such as rosehip soup with cream and rosehip marmalade.

Rheumatoid Arthritis - a far more serious disease than the osteo form but has shown improvements in patients’ sore joints when rosehips have been taken continuously for six months.
Cardiovascular Support - rosehips have been linked with keeping the heart and circulation healthy with research indicating that rosehip extract can reduce the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol as well as exerting their anti-inflammatory effects on the blood vessels.
Urinary Tract Infections - rosehips have been used to help prevent urinary tract infections.
