Immortalized in literature as the 'queen of the flowers' in 600BC, the rose has historically been known for its romantic attributes. Its fruit (the rose hip or rose haw) has also been prized by herbalists for centuries. Our understanding of the properties of rosehips is now underpinned by scientific evidence. Rose hips are a rich source of fatty and volatile oils, tannins and antioxidant compounds (polyphenols and flavonoids). In addition, rose hips are an abundant source of Vitamin C. Each Healthspan tablet contains 250mg standardised extract, equivalent to 5,000mg of whole rosehip.
