Overview

The product provides a dose of rose hips extract that aligns with doses shown to be beneficial for certain conditions, particularly osteoarthritis. However, the '5% Extract' standardization is not entirely clear from the provided data, and while clinical trials often use 5g/day of powdered rose hip, this product recommends 1g three times daily. This total daily dose of 3g is within the studied range for some benefits, though slightly below the typically studied 5g for osteoarthritis.

The Good

Evidence-backed ingredient for osteoarthritis pain relief, with effects comparable to some pain medications.

Supports cardiometabolic health by potentially reducing blood glucose, HbA1c, and lowering blood pressure.

Provides significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

The Bad

The '5% Extract' standardization lacks specific detail (e.g., 5% Vitamin C, 5% galactolipids), which can make it difficult to compare potency with other products or research.

Optimal dose for osteoarthritis relief is often cited at 5g/day, which is higher than the product's recommended 3g daily dose, suggesting it may be slightly underdosed for maximum joint benefits.

Long-term safety data beyond 3 months is limited.
