Vitamin C with Rose Hips is helpful to maintain the health of blood vessels, bones, teeth, skin and cartilage. It also helps to protect the body's cells from damage and is known for its antioxidant properties.* Vitamin C provides antioxidant protection for many of the body's important enzyme systems. White blood cells (neutrophils) utilize vitamin C to help produce cytotoxic enzymes which they use to eliminate foreign matter. It also helps strengthen collagen, a major connective protein. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the P450 enzyme detoxification system.* Rose hips are also useful in the treatment of colds due to their high content of immunity-boosting vitamin C. Rose hips also act as a mild laxative and diuretic, and can be used to help regulate the bowels.* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
