Rosehip Extract
Capsules

How are we different?

For our natural rosehip extract, we use the whole, ripe fruit of the rosehip (Rosa canina L.). The ripe, red fruits are harvested between August and September. The natural plant substances vary in different parts of the rosehip so in order to preserve the natural ratio of valuable plant substances, the whole fruit with skin, pulp and seeds is processed to make this extract.

Embedded in a matrix of important rosehip polyphenols, a natural, vitamin C-rich extract, is obtained from the whole fruit via a nutrient-preserving water extraction. No solvents are used in this process, so the extract does not contain any residues. The natural vitamin C content of the rosehips is concentrated in a ratio of 10-12:1, which means that our extract has a particularly high vitamin C content of at least 20%. It is not uncommon for synthetically produced ascorbic acid to be added to rosehip extracts. Our product, however, is 100% natural, with no additives or residue, as confirmed by the University of Cologne (Center for Accelerator Mass Spectroscopy) in a laboratory analysis.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.
