Rosehip Powder

Versatile and nutrient-rich rosehip for horses and dogs

Rosehip is an excellent, versatile natural nutritional supplement for horses and dogs. Research shows it supports joint and stomach well-being and function! Contains abundant vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant and supports the body's own immune resistance.

Ground rosehip (Rosa Canina)

• Rosehip contains abundant natural vitamin compounds, vitamins B, C and P, as well as oils containing important fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Vitamins A and E protect cells from oxidative stress and support overall well-being. Vitamin A is important for skin, vision and reproductive health.
  
• Rosehip is an excellent natural and highly absorbable multivitamin supplement for horses and dogs. Rosehip is particularly rich in vitamin C, which has been shown in studies to support the natural well-being of joints and acts as an antioxidant against free radicals. Vitamin C maintains the body's own collagen production, which is important for the well-being of joints, tendons and ligaments.
  
• The seeds are rich in sulphur in its natural form. Sulphur occurs naturally in the body in small amounts and supports many of the body's structures and functions, such as connective tissues, the vascular system, the body's energy production, and the function of articular cartilage. Studies have shown that rosehip powder helps maintain joint well-being. In addition to vitamins C and E and sulphur, the active compound galactolipid helps maintain joint mobility and normal function.
• Rosehip contains abundant amino acids, and the magnesium it contains supports muscle function.
• Rosehip also contains fibre, minerals, trace elements and beta-carotene, which help maintain overall well-being.

• Rosehip contains pectin*, which is a soluble fibre and adds a soft fibre structure to the diet. Pectin belongs to the group of fibres used in feeding as part of a balanced gut environment. The natural sorbitol in rosehip is part of its own natural composition and is relevant to the overall diet, particularly in fibre-based feed combinations.

Works well to support normal joint function when used together with nettle and MSM.

Especially for horses and dogs under heavy strain or ageing, as well as animals whose joints need support and rehabilitation, rosehip is an effective natural complementary feed.

Further information and studies on rosehip:

A study conducted on horses and dogs found that rosehip has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. In addition, the group that received rosehip showed better recovery after exertion, improved coat quality and enhanced performance compared to the control group. Furthermore, studies* have found that rosehip reduces the risk and incidence of gastric ulcers.
