Rose hip extract, www.althealth.co.uk?

[oetzi]

Always searching for stuff to rediuce the effects of rheunatoid arthritis, I am currently on the look-out for a source to buy rose hip extract.
Here in germany, the prices for supplements are enormous. A reason why I buy my Glucosaminsulphate in the Uk since many many years.
But www.naturesbest.co.uk, excellent as they are, doesnt stock hip rose extract, so I came upon this company:
http://www.althealth.co.uk/product/...eq-to-2000mg-tabs-offer-buy-2-get-3-/30-tabs/

Now, does anyone know about this particular company or can give me another reliable source, please?

The reason for asking is, this very morning I had a look at my latest account statement from the credit card company.
I am the victim of a credit card rip-off. My data has somehow made it in illegal hands and my account is completely empty up to and over its credit-limits.
Within the last three weeks an estimated € 2500,- has been deducted in small sums.
So I am a bit paranoid at the moment.
Any recommendation will be graetly apreciated.

I can wholeheartedly recommend these folks. I've been ordering from them with no problems for over ten years.

Their rosehip extract tablets actually give 5,000mg equivalent of dried herb, double the link you posted.

Would you try something and see how you feel pleae ?
No gluten and no dairy foods for three weeks.

In three *days* my rheumatoid arthritis aches stopped dead
The diet's a bit of a bugger, but the no pain is worth it

The theory goes that long term use of anti inflammatories leads to a leaky gut. Gluten irritates that gut and dairy then gets through. This makes the body produce *more* of the antibodies that then flood in and attack the joints. So we take more anti inflammatories......

Best of luck with it

cheers,
Mary

Toddy, your meadowsweet seems to give me some relief in my thumb joint. I forgot to tell you. Thanks for sending it to me.

Have you tried making rose hip syrup yourself? I don't know of any recipes nor do I know when they are in season but I seem to remember reading somewhere it was an important source of vitamin C during the last war.
Happy trails...torc.

Just found this....http://www.irishsecrets.ie/recipe-secrets/rosehip-syrup.php

I seem to remember reading somewhere it was an important source of vitamin C during the last war.

When I was at school in the 50's we used to go out on organised trips picking.

I wonder where it went for processing, not done on site as far as I can remember?
