General Health Benefits of Rose Hips

Rose hips are one of nature's major sources of vitamin C, a vitamin that possesses powerful antioxidant properties and also supports the immune system in its elimination of foreign pathogens. It is also highly anti-inflammatory, and patients suffering osteoarthritis have reported a significant reduction in pain after taking rose hip extract. This is not only through the vitamin C content, but also due to the high phenolic content of the fruit in the form of proanthocyanidins and flavonoids.

Other health benefits associated with taking a rose hip supplement include its use in treating constipation, where pectin and acidity contained in the seeds offer laxative properties. Conversely, rose hip can also be used to treat diarrhea, and also helps to restore a healthy population of beneficial bacteria in the digestive system after antibiotic treatment. Rose hip also contains iron, and is often used by women after heavy menstruation to prevent anemia after blood loss.

A rose hip supplement or extract is a useful tonic to help you maintain good health during the winter months, when symptoms of colds and flu tend to make you feel run down and tired, and its general anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help to maintain good health throughout the year

Rose Hips and Arthritis

Because rose hips contain large quantities of vitamin C, it would be expected to offer some degree of benefit to those suffering rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. That is because vitamin C is not just antioxidant in nature, but tests have demonstrated that a powder made from rose hip reduced pain and stiffness in cases of osteoarthritis. It has also been used as a food supplement to treat the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis of the hips and knees.

Although the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of vitamin C have a significant influence on joint pain, the presence of the phenolic anti-inflammatory flavonoids and proanthocyanadins in rose hips is also highly significant. There is so much evidence available now that there appear to be few doubts as the effectiveness of rose hips in reducing arthritis pain levels, and it is a relatively safe form of pain relief to take.

Add to that the fact that rose hips protect you from a wide range of common minor illnesses and infections, and it is certainly worth taking, particularly if you suffer any form of arthritis. However, seek your doctor's advice if you are taking estrogen supplements, warfarin or lithium, since large amounts of vitamin C can interact with these.
