Relieve those aches and pains during the colder months with a Rosehip extract

A natural herbal supplement of Rosehip has recently been found to significantly alleviate aches and pains, whether they are seasonal or a result of a strain, minor injury or even arthritis.

Aches and pains are a common ailment and often the reduction in mobility associated with such joint stiffness is topically treated with conventional pain killers.  However, whilst over-the-counter pain relievers provide short-term relief, they do not contain any properties which may help to reduce and prevent pain through the repair and maintenance of tendons, muscles and cartilage which are often the root of the problem.

Glucosamine is one of the most widely used natural supplements due to its impressively positive results in preventing and treating joint pain, swelling and immobility.  As well as repairing worn cartilage, Glucosamine is renowned for its producing capabilities and for this reason provides outstanding support in rebuilding worn muscles, tendons and cartilage whilst promoting healthy joint function.

Nonetheless, whilst Rosehip has been traditionally known for its high content of Vitamin C and therefore its effectiveness in preventing and treating colds and asthma, recent research has revealed positive results for the anti-inflammatory properties within Rosehip extracts.

The Danish study has suggested that a natural rosehip supplement can noticeably alleviate the joint pains that are typical of Arthritis.  The anti-inflammatory properties of rosehip found male and female arthritic hip, knee and hand patients experiencing an 82% reduction in pain after just 3 weeks of taking a rosehip supplement.   The study also concluded that individuals who suffer from arthritis need less than half as many traditional painkillers, such as ibuprofen, when taking a natural rosehip supplement.

The results of this new study emphasise the effectiveness of natural dietary supplements and the key role that they can potentially play in the prevention and treatment of aches and pains, which are all too often exacerbated by the colder weather that we experience during the winter months.
