Unit: Bag 350 g

Ingredients: 100% ground rosehip fruit

Uses: used to make tea, as an additive to baked goods, sour and fruit juices, smoothies, shakes, and more.

Effects and health benefits:

Immune system: rosehips have been shown to have the highest vitamin C content of all fruits and vegetables. This vitamin plays a very important role in immunity by stimulating the production of white blood cells, lymphocytes, the first defence against infection. In addition, they also contain high levels of polyphenols and vitamins A and E, which help further protect the immune system. 

Antioxidant action: in a study of the antioxidant content of six fruit extracts, rosehips were found to have the highest antioxidant capacity - high levels of polyphenols, carotenoids and vitamins C and E, all of which have powerful antioxidant properties. They protect cells from damage, protect against chronic diseases. 

Heart: studies have shown that eating rose hips can improve heart health by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. This is due to the vitamin C they contain, as well as the high concentration of antioxidants and flavonoids, which reduce the risk of heart disease and improve blood flow to the heart.

Chronic diseases: rosehip seeds are a great source of phytonutrients. Consuming foods that contain them is recommended to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. 

Osteoarthritis: the polyphenols and anthocyanin in rosehips are anti-inflammatory and are a great option for people who cannot take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or other pain medications. 

General health: the oleic acid in rosehip seeds stimulates cell receptors to reduce levels of bad cholesterol. Linoleic acid supports healthy cell growth in the lungs, stomach, skin, chest, and colon.

Skin: rosehip seeds are high in polyunsaturated fats and lycopene, which maintain a healthy skin membrane that acts as a barrier, protecting against inflammation and ultraviolet (UV) rays. They help preserve moisture and elasticity, which respectively reduce the amount and intensity of wrinkles. In addition, the antioxidants and vitamin C in rosehip increase collagen synthesis and cell turnover, and the ability to renew. This action has been proven in several scientific studies, but it should be taken into account that this effect is strongest when the fruit is consumed (see also: organic rosehip seed oil).

Weight loss: rosehip contains tiliroside, a powerful antioxidant that increases fat metabolism in the body. Studies confirm this effect. It should be taken into account that this effect is strongest when consuming the fruit (see also: organic rosehip seed oil).

Blood sugar: in controlled studies, rosehip has shown promising results in reducing blood sugar, insulin, and fat cell levels in the liver - three risk factors for type 2 diabetes.

Storage: store in a dry and ventilated place away from sunlight at room temperature (20-22 C).
