Ancient Romans propagated the use of rose hips to help with various issues from toothaches to kidney support to digestive health.

How It Works
Traditional use of rose hips includes supporting the immune, digestive and nervous systems.
Rose hips have also been used to support kidney health and help prevent kidney stone formation.
More recent research suggests that rose hips provide benefits for joint health, due to their high content of active compounds that promote a healthy inflammatory response.
Rose hips may also help support blood glucose regulation by inhibiting the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars like glucose.
Rose hips are an exceptionally rich source of vitamin C, containing anywhere from 10-100 times more than many other foods.
The high vitamin C content of rose hips supports collagen production. Without vitamin C, the body cannot make collagen, the substance that holds the body’s cells together. Collagen is needed to maintain skin health and skin elasticity, which in turn helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Rose hips also contain vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, K, P, pantothenic acid, bioflavonoids, carotenoids, healthy essential fatty acids, and the minerals calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc.
And, rose hips are a great source of natural antioxidants that neutralize harmful free radicals and combat oxidative stress linked to chronic diseases and aging.
Antioxidants in rose hips also provide cardiovascular benefits such as supporting healthy blood vessel function and normal-range blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
There's even fiber in rose hips, which can help you feel full and may support weight-loss efforts.
Plus, rose hips contain astringent tannins and related phenolic substances, making rose hips beneficial as a respiratory tonic and support for mucosal fluid and for irritated mucous membranes.
