About ROSEHIP POWDER

ROSEHIP POWDER belongs to a class of medications called nutritional supplements used to reduce pain, stiffness and swelling in joints caused by osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. 

ROSEHIP POWDER contains Rosehip powder that works by reducing the production of specific enzymes that break down cartilage. Thus, it improves joint flexibility, comfort and movement and reduces pain and swelling in the joints. 

Take ROSEHIP POWDER as advised by the doctor. In some cases, you may experience constipation, diarrhoea or heartburn. Most of these side effects of ROSEHIP POWDER do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. 

If you are allergic to rosehip or any other ingredients in ROSEHIP POWDER, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking ROSEHIP POWDER. Do not give ROSEHIP POWDER to children without doctor’s advice. Drive only if you are alert after taking ROSEHIP POWDER. If you are undergoing dialysis, inform your doctor before taking ROSEHIP POWDER.

The main reason for osteoarthritis is age, the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages.
