Rose Hips are the vibrant red, nutrient-dense accessory fruits of the wild rose plant, exceptionally rich in vitamin C, carotenoids, and a unique anti-inflammatory galactolipid (GOPO). GOPO is clinically proven to inhibit white blood cell accumulation at inflamed joints, thereby preventing the destruction of joint cartilage and significantly reducing osteoarthritis pain. Its high vitamin C content strengthens capillaries and boosts collagen synthesis.

Generally exceptionally safe. Do not heat or boil standardized GOPO powder, as high temperatures degrade the active galactolipid. High doses may cause mild gastric reflux or loose stools due to rich vitamin C.
