Nature's Sunshine Rose Hips are from the dried fruit of roses, most of which are derived from the Dog Rose (Rosa canina). During World War II, Rose Hips were discovered to be a rich source for vitamin C, containing anywhere from 10 -100 times more than any other food. Rose Hips also contain vitamins A, B1, B2, D, E, K, P, pantothenic acid, flavonoids, carotenoids; and the minerals calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc.

Rose Hips contains the dried fruit of Rosa canina. Rose hips are naturally rich in vitamin C and also supply carotenoids and flavonoids, which is why they are often used for immune support and antioxidant support. They are a good fit if you want a whole-food style source rather than straight ascorbic acid alone.
Rose hips are also sometimes used in joint products because of their antioxidant content. In a simple standalone product like this, though, the main appeal is broad nutritional support from the fruit itself. Rose Hips may suit you if you want a traditional vitamin C-rich herb with a food-like feel.
