Two natural ingredients: organic Rosa canina AP-4® rosehip powder, which is naturally rich in vitamin C, and acerola, which adds even more natural vitamin C. There’s no added sugar, no preservatives and nothing artificial.
What are rosehips?
Rosehips are the fruit of the wild rose. They’re a natural source of antioxidants and vitamin C, and people have used them for centuries to ease joint pain and arthritis.
What is SUKOFLEX® Canine?
SUKOFLEX® Canine is a natural hip and joint supplement for dogs. It’s made from 100% organic AP-4® rosehip powder and gives your dog daily support to help them keep moving comfortably, for longer. It was developed by SUKO Nordic in Denmark and is manufactured in Australia.
What makes SUKOFLEX® different from other rosehip powders?
SUKOFLEX® is a Listed Medicine, manufactured from the AP-4® Rosehip variety. AP-4® originates from a research selected mother plant, under controlled greenhouse conditions before being cultivated on organic plantations in Chile. SUKOFLEX® is highly standardised based on: a single, genetically defined rosehip variety (AP-4®); certified organic plantation; a stable southern Chilean micro-climate; optimal ripening and harvesting time. This ensures consistent quality and bioactive content from batch to batch.
Is SUKOFLEX® suitable for daily long-term use?
Yes. SUKOFLEX is a natural, food-based rosehip supplement designed to be taken every day as part of an active lifestyle. It's certified organic, fully traceable and free from unnecessary additives. As always, read the label and follow the directions for use, and consult your healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
How does rosehip powder help with arthritis?
Rosa canina rosehips contain a distinctive combination of naturally occurring bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamin C and essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6. Together, these compounds are thought to help moderate the inflammatory and oxidative processes associated with joint discomfort. Clinical research into standardised rosehip powder suggests that it may help relieve mild joint pain and stiffness while supporting comfort and mobility.
What are the active compounds in SUKOFLEX® rosehip powder?
Rosehip is naturally rich in a wide range of bioactive compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which have been associated with beneficial effects in mild arthritis. These include polyphenols (such as flavonols and proanthocyanidins), beta-carotenes, vitamins and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. The health effects are the results of this unique natural combination, not a single isolated compound. The levels of these compounds depends on the genetic variety, climate, growing conditions and harvesting time.
How long until I notice results?
SUKOFLEX® works gradually as it builds up in your system. Most people take SUKOFLEX daily and begin to feel a difference in joint comfort and mobility within 3 to 6 weeks of consistent use. For best results, make it part of your daily ritual and give it time.
What’s inside SUKOFLEX® Canine?
Just one ingredient: organic Rosa canina AP-4® rosehip powder. There’s no added sugar, no preservatives and nothing artificial. It’s 100% natural.
How is SUKOFLEX® standardised?
SUKOFLEX® is standardised by the following to obtain a premium and trustful product: selection of the AP-4® genetic mother plant; certified organic plantation; optimal growing conditions in the southern Chilean climate; harvest at a defined stage of ripeness. SUKOFLEX® is a 100% natural and organic product. Because its effects arise from the combination of many naturally occurring compounds, standardisation is based on plant origin, cultivation and harvest, not on isolating individual compounds.
Can children or pregnant women use these products?
Yes. SUKOFLEX® is a natural food supplement that can also be taken by children. Pregnant and breastfeeding women may use the product as well, but we recommend consulting a healthcare professional for individual guidance.
What's the difference between the powder and capsules?
Both contain the same premium AP-4® rosehip. The 180g powder gives a 5g daily serve that mixes easily into smoothies, yogurt or water — ideal at home. The capsules deliver the same active ingredients in a convenient on-the-go format, perfect for travel or busy days. Choose whichever fits your routine best.
Where does SUKOFLEX® rosehip come from?
SUKOFLEX® is made from the unique genetic variety Rosa canina AP-4®, cultivated on organic plantations in the south of Chile. Every step from the selected mother plant to the finished SUKOFLEX® product on the shelf is 100% traceable.
What makes AP-4® rosehip special?
AP-4® is a unique variety of rosehip, developed by PhD molecular plant scientists. It’s grown organically in the microclimate of Southern Chile from cuttings of the original AP-4® mother plant. The plants grow for four years before the first harvest. The rosehips are then picked at peak ripeness and gently dried to protect their heat-sensitive active compounds. Every batch can be traced all the way from the plantation to the finished product.
Can SUKOFLEX® Canine help my dog’s joints?
Absolutely. SUKOFLEX® Canine supports healthy joints and mobility. As dogs age, or simply live an active life, their joints take strain. Stiffness, slow starts after a nap and hesitating on the stairs can creep in quietly. SUKOFLEX® Canine gives daily, natural support to help keep your dog moving. If your dog is limping or seems to be in pain, see your vet.
How do I give it to my dog?
Simply mix the powder into your dog’s regular food. It works with both wet and dry food. For dry kibble, a small splash of water helps the powder stick.
Is SUKOFLEX® Canine only for older dogs?
No. Senior dogs are an obvious fit, but SUKOFLEX® Canine suits adult dogs of any age that need everyday joint support.
Is it suitable for active and working dogs?
Yes. Sporting, working and very active dogs put a lot of strain on their joints. Daily SUKOFLEX® Canine helps support them so they can keep doing what they love.
Can puppies have SUKOFLEX® Canine?
SUKOFLEX® Canine is designed for adult dogs. If you’re thinking of giving it to a puppy, talk to your vet first.
How much should I give my dog?

- Up to 15 kg: 1 scoop (5 g) daily for the first 3 weeks, then ½ scoop (2.5 g) daily

How soon will my dog notice a difference?
Most owners notice results within 3 weeks. That’s why we start with a higher loading dose for the first 3 weeks, then switch to the lower maintenance dose. Give SUKOFLEX® Canine every day for the best results.
Does SUKOFLEX® Canine help my dog’s coat?
Yes. SUKOFLEX® Canine supports a healthy, glossy coat.
Does SUKOFLEX® Canine have other benefits?
Besides joint support, SUKOFLEX® Canine supports normal immune function and healthy digestion. It’s also a natural source of antioxidants and vitamin C.
Can it help with itching or allergies?
SUKOFLEX® Canine isn’t a treatment for allergies or skin conditions. If your dog itches a lot or has ongoing skin problems, see your vet to find the cause.
How long does a 180 g tub last?
It depends on your dog’s size and whether they’re on the loading or maintenance dose.
- Up to 15 kg: 36 days on the loading dose, 72 days (approx. 10 weeks) on the maintenance dose
- 15-30 kg: 18 days on the loading dose, 36 days (approx. 5 weeks) on the maintenance dose
- Over 30 kg: 12 days on the loading dose, 24 days (approx. 3.5 weeks) on the maintenance dose
During the 3-week loading period, dogs over 15 kg will need more than one tub.
My dog is a fussy eater. What can I do?
