Dr Clark Store Suplemento de Escaramujo, 500 mg, 100 Cápsulas de Gelatina

What is rosehip and why should you take it?

Rosehip is the fruit of the wild rose bush. It has been traditionally used as a natural source of vitamin C. This Dr Clark Store supplement provides 500 mg of rosehip in each capsule, offering a convenient way to incorporate this ingredient into your daily routine. The vitamin C naturally present in rosehip contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative damage.

Properties and benefits of rosehip

Rosehip is known for its high vitamin C content. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that performs multiple functions in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to:

• The normal functioning of the immune system.
• The protection of cells from oxidative damage.
• Normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth.
• Normal energy metabolism.
• The reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Increasing iron absorption.

Thanks to its vitamin C content, rosehip can be an ally in maintaining adequate defenses and healthy skin. In addition, it contains other bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and carotenoids that contribute to its antioxidant profile. Each of these nutrients plays a role in maintaining overall health, although the effects may vary depending on the person and their diet.

Vitamin C also intervenes in the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E, enhancing its antioxidant action. This means that regular consumption of rosehip can support the body's natural defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. However, it is important to remember that food supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions about rosehip

Is rosehip the same as dog rose?

Yes, rosehip is the fruit of the wild rose bush, also known as dog rose. Both terms refer to the same ingredient. In some contexts, "dog rose" is used to refer to both the plant and the fruit, but in phytotherapy, "rosehip" is preferred for the dried fruit.

Can I get enough vitamin C from rosehip alone?

Rosehip is a natural source of vitamin C, but daily needs vary depending on age, sex and health status. This supplement can help cover part of the requirements, but it should not replace a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables. The reference intake of vitamin C for adults in the EU is 80 mg per day, and a 500 mg rosehip capsule can provide a significant amount, though not all of it.

Is this product suitable for vegans?

The capsules are made of gelatin, so they are not suitable for vegans. If you are looking for a vegan option, check other presentations with vegetable capsules. Gelatin is obtained from animal sources, generally porcine or bovine.
