3 STUDIES BEHIND Rosa Canina rosehip

Study 1.

AP-4® rosehip powder reduces inflammation and improves joint function

A controlled study from Korea investigated the effects of rosehip powder in a rat model of osteoarthritis.

Rats were divided into groups receiving either standard rosehip powder, AP-4® rosehip powder, or placebo over 21 days (learn more).

What they measured:

  • Knee joint swelling

  • Mobility (treadmill performance)

  • Inflammatory markers

What they found:

  • Reduced joint inflammation

  • Improved mobility

  • Lower levels of inflammatory markers

Conclusion:

These findings suggest that rosehip supplements may support joint function and help reduce inflammation.

Study 2.

Rosehip vs Conventional Joint Support: A Clinical Trial with 150 Patients

A randomized, comparative clinical trial investigated the effects of rosehip supplementation in patients with osteoarthritis receiving standard care.

Participants were assigned to receive either glucosamine + chondroitin, rosehip, or placebo over 12 weeks (learn more)

What they measured:

  • Pain intensity

  • Joint tenderness

  • Join swelling

What they found:

  • Greater reduction in pain intensity with rosehip compared to glucosamine + chondrolin

  • Improved joint tenderness and swelling

  • Better functional capacity and overall joint assessment

  • Both active groups outperformed placebo

Conclusion

These findings suggest that rosehip supplementation may provide greater improvement in joint-related outcomes compared to conventional glucosamine and chondroitin, while maintaining a similar safety profile.

study 3.

Rosa canina Supports Joint Function: A Placebo Controlled, 89 Patients

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial investigated the effects of standardized Rosa canina rosehip powder in patients with rheumatoid arthritis over 6 months.

Participants received daily supplementation with Rosa canina rosehip powder or placebo (learn more).

What they measured:

  • Joint pain and overall condition

  • Physical function (HAQ)

  • Quality of life

What they found:

  • Improvement in physical function (HAQ assessment)

  • Improved quality of life measures

  • Greater improvement vs placebo in physician's assessment

Conclusion:

These findings suggest that Rosa canina rosehip supplementation may support functional improvements and overall joint health in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis.
