ROSEHIP TEA
Although rosehip tea lacks the vitamin C punch of its fresh counterpart, it still offers several health benefits. The phenolic content of rosehip tea is high, meaning there are plenty of antioxidants in the drink. These phenolic compounds have been shown to have significant therapeutic potential.
Anti-Inflammatory Effects
Rosehip products have been shown to have strong anti-inflammatory effects. This is linked to a group of compounds found in the fruit called galactolipids. These compounds don't carry the same ulcerative side effects of other common anti-inflammatory drugs.
Lower Blood Sugar
Rosehip has been shown to lower glucose blood levels in a similar way to inhibitors currently used to treat type 2 diabetes. While these results are promising, more research is needed to better understand the potential antidiabetic effects of rosehip.
An animal study with mice evaluated rosehip as a potential treatment for atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis causes plaques to develop in the arteries, which then increase the risk of stroke and heart attack. Results of the study indicated that rosehip may be effective at preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
