Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a powerful antioxidant which helps to boost the immune system, strengthen blood vessels and body muscles. Since the human body doesn’t generate this vitamin, it must be received through food and supplements. Its benefits include also the prevention of scurvy, and treatment of the common cold.

Rose hips are the fruit derived from roses. They are the part of the rose just below its petals, including the seeds of the plants. They are abundant in vitamin C, containing 50% more vitamin C than oranges do. They also contain vitamin A, calcium, iron, different vitamin B, manganese, selenium, and vitamin E. Rose hips are about the size of cherries but with more tender flesh. The dried rose hips and seeds may be used to make medicine.
