Rosehip Powder

About

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.

Do not give Rosehip Powder to children without doctor’s advice. Drive only if you are alert after taking Rosehip Powder.
