Rose hips are the fruit-like seed pods that remain after a flowering rose has withered and died. These pods are a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants that support the immune system and contribute to the healthy formation of skin, bones and connective tissue.* Rose hips are a rich source of natural vitamin C; in fact they contain more vitamin C per weight than citrus fruits. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects against cellular damage caused by free radicals. Vitamin C also plays an active role in the structural formation of bones, muscles, and connective tissues.* Vitamin A can also be found in abundance in rose hips. Vitamin A is an active participant in maintaining and rejuvenating the skin—making new skin cells, maintaining elasticity, preventing and minimizing wrinkles.*
