Harness the power of hedgerows this winter

Rosehips are a common sight in British hedgerows, adding a splash of colour to Autumnal walks. New research is showing that the humble rosehip could also have a role to play in our health however and could be an important addition to medicine cabinets this winter.

The latest in a string of studies on rosehips shows that extracts from the fruit may exhibit positive health benefits for the kidneys, and other recent studies have shown that, as well as Vitamin C, rosehips contain substances called bioflavonoids which are known to be powerful anti-oxidants, helping protect the body against oxygen free radicals.

Further studies, published in leading journals, have further shown that rosehip extracts may help modulate certain aspects of the immune system, and also suggested they could act as anti-inflammatorys and even prevent kidney stones.

The easy way to benefit from rosehips this winter

You no longer have to go out in the cold and wet to pick your own rosehips because an innovative health company have created three nutritional rosehip syrups, which have been specially formulated to help maintain women’s health.
