ORGANIC Rose Hip Powder

Bright red vitamins: Organic rosehips on the bush

Organic Rose Hip Powder is also known as Rose Hip Seed Powder. Hand-picked, ripe rosehips from certified organic farms in Argentina are processed with their skins to make Ölmühle Sollings organic rosehip powder. The organic fruits are dried at temperatures below 40 degrees Celsius and then gently ground. Mechanical grinding without the addition of heat preserves the valuable rosehip ingredients in their best possible form and allows them to develop their full potency. You can order top quality organic rosehip seed powder directly from us.

Natural product with no additives

Rosehip Powder is an all-natural, 100% vegan and lactose-free product that is guaranteed to be produced without the addition of preservatives, colourings or additives. For this reason, our rosehip powder may vary slightly in appearance and taste from batch to batch, as rosehip powder is a natural product. The rosehips from which our powder is made are naturally gluten free. However, we cannot technically guarantee that it is 100% gluten free (<0.5mg). Rosehip powder may contain traces of cereals that contain gluten.

Rosehip (Rosa Canina/Rosa Rubiginosa) is a type of wild rose with a high vitamin C content. The shrubby rose hip grows to a height of two to three metres.

Compared to powders made from de-oiled seeds, powder made from the whole seed with pulp and rosehip skin has a particularly high vitamin content of 400 mg per 100 g.

Variations in colour, odour or taste are normal in organic products, including our rosehip powder, and are due to the origin/country of cultivation of the raw material. Climatic conditions (amount of rain, hours of sunshine, etc.) can also alter the taste and appearance of an organic natural product. These differences in colour and taste do not affect the quality of our rosehip powder - on the contrary, natural differences in colour and taste show that we do not use any colouring or flavouring, but offer you a 100% pure product.

How Rosehip Powder Works

Rosehip powder contains high levels of vitamin C. Vitamin C is stable up to a temperature of around 190 degrees Celsius without losing its valuable properties and characteristics. The effects tested and scientifically proven by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) are called health claims.

• Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system during and after intense physical activity.
• It also contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal functioning of blood vessels (bones, cartilage function, gums, skin, teeth).
• Vitamin C contributes to normal mental function and *contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• It also helps to protect cells from oxidative stress and to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron and contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E.

Each health claim refers to a minimum amount of vitamin C. A minimum of 12 milligrams is required for the listed effects of vitamin C. In the EU, the recommended daily intake of vitamin C has been set at 80 milligrams. The average person should consume this amount daily to meet their vitamin C needs. The minimum daily intake of 12 milligrams should not be missed.
