What are Rosehip Capsules?
Rosehip capsules are food supplement capsules that contain rosehip extract. Each Metabolics Rosehip capsule contains the equivalent of 2.8g rosehip.
Rosehips are part of the fruit that grows on the blossom of a wild rose called Rosa canina, which is what Metabolics uses in Metabolics Rosehip Capsules. This type of rose grows naturally in Europe, parts of Africa and parts of Asia.
There are several different species of rosehip, these include R. pouzinii, R. corymbifera, R. glauca and R. Canina. These different species each come with differing levels of phenols, polyphenols and ascorbic acid, with Rosa Canina thought to have the highest concentration of these elements.
What are Rosehip Capsules good for?
Rosehips are naturally high in vitamin C and have a long history of being used in Europe. British children during World War II were often given the task of collecting rosehips in order to make rosehip syrup for its vitamin C content, which was difficult to secure through food at the time during to the German U boat blockade.
Rosehip, particularly from Rosa canina, is predominantly used for joint health as it:
- Helps maintain healthy and flexible joints
- Helps maintain joint mobility
- Contributes to enduring strength of joints
Other benefits of Rosehip and Rosehip Capsules include its aid in the maintenance of healthy digestive, respiratory and immune systems.
Who are Rosehip Capsules for?
As we get older, our joints can become stiffer as a result of the amount of lubricating fluid inside the joint lessens and the cartilage becomes thinner, meaning the joint can become less flexible. This is a natural part of aging but it can be supported through diet and exercise.
Rosehips are predominantly used to support joint health and can help maintain joint strength and flexibility.
The vitamin C content in rosehip extract can also support the immune system, so can be a good solution for those looking to increase their supplementary vitamin C.
