Rosehips

from $4.00

100% ORGANIC

Rosehips are the fruit of the rose plant and are primarily used for their high vitamin C content to support the immune system, and for their anti-inflammatory properties to help with joint pain and osteoarthritis. They can be consumed in various forms, such as teas, jams, and syrups, or used in skincare products like oils for their antioxidant and skin-regenerating benefits. It's important to consult a healthcare provider before use, as some claims are not scientifically proven, and they can interact with medications.  

Culinary and beverage uses

  • Teas: Brewed into a tea for a high-dose of vitamin C and to aid with colds and flu, digestive issues, and to boost immunity. 

  • Jams, jellies, and syrups: Can be made into spreads or syrups. 

  • Sauces: Can be used as a substitute for tomatoes in some sauces. 

  • Functional foods: Incorporated into snacks or other food products to enhance nutritional value. 

Health and medicinal uses

  • Immune support: A rich source of vitamin C, which supports the immune system. 

  • Joint pain and osteoarthritis: The anti-inflammatory properties, particularly from compounds like GOPO, may help relieve pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis. 

  • Antioxidant benefits: Contain high levels of antioxidants like polyphenols and flavonoids that fight cell damage. 

  • Digestive health: May help soothe stomach muscles and alleviate issues like cramps and bloating. 

  • Heart health: Some research suggests it may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. 

  • Skin care: Rosehip oil is used in skincare for its potential to reduce wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scars, and to treat acne and eczema due to its vitamin A content and fatty acids. 

Important considerations

  • Consult a healthcare provider: It is important to speak with a doctor before using rosehips, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding. 

  • Medication interactions: Rosehips may interact with certain medications. 

  • Supplement quality: When buying supplements, purchase from a reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination. 

  • Side effects: Potential side effects can include digestive upset, headache, and fatigue. 

  • Kidney stones: Rosehip supplements may increase the risk of certain types of kidney stones.
