New uses find new benefits in the rosehip
Long time ago, cosmetics industry managed to capitalize on the properties of rosehip for the skin. Since some years is possible to find oils, creams, soaps and all kinds of products based on this miraculous plant. This plant that heals, rejuvenates, softens spots and is a powerful cell regenerator. However, in recent years, it has been discovered that the intake of rosehip as a food has even more health benefits than simply using it externally on the skin.
Natural source of nutrients and vitamins, rosehip is positioned as a power superfood
The rosehip contains a wide range of natural nutrients in large proportion. When consumed in powder format fundamentally provides vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, fatty acids such as Omega 3 and Omega 6, galactolipids, carotenoids and retinol. Two benefits stand out when consuming rosehip as food:
1 ) Fortification of the immune system: due to the high proportion of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), an essential nutrient for the proper functioning of the body. Vitamin C stimulates the immune system, contributes to the formation of collagen and the absorption of iron, has a great antioxidant power and – because the human body does not manufacture it – the only way to obtain it is through the intake of certain foods. To have a specific reference, the r/hip & co Vitamin powder is made from pure organic rosehip husks, and contains about 320 mg of vitamin C per 100 grams of product, that is, between 5 and 10 times the proportion provided by citrus fruits (between 30 and 60 milligrams per 100 grams).
2) Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects: due to the presence of galactolipids, carotenoids and retinol, which act in the body as a palliative for osteoarticular pain, improving mobility and elasticity, and contributing to the formation of collagen. The r/hip & co Fortify powder is made from pure organic rosehip seed, which concentrates all these properties in great proportion.

Today, various laboratory studies continue to be carried out to find new benefits of this plant. Rosehip is already presented as a natural source of energy within those considered “superfoods” without adverse effects. Adverse or contraindications, which helps to have a healthy body and prevent diseases.
