Rosehips Granules (Rosa canina)

Description

Rosehips (Rosa canina)

Rosehips are the nutrient-rich fruit of the dog rose, widely known for their high vitamin C content and immune-boosting properties. They offer natural support for recovery, hoof health and allergy management in horses. This herbal supplement is ideal for daily feeding or for animals recovering from illness or injury.

Why include Rosehips in your horse’s diet?

Rosehips provide a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, including C, A, B1, B2, B3, K, calcium, magnesium, silica, phosphorous and copper. They also contain bioflavonoids like rutin, which improve vitamin C absorption and help strengthen blood vessels.

Health benefits of Rosehips for horses

• Supports immune function and tissue repair
• Promotes healthy hoof growth and blood vessel strength
• Acts as a natural antihistamine to assist allergy-prone horses
• Helps relieve gastric inflammation and diarrhoea
• Gentle astringent and mild laxative (aperient) action

How to use Rosehips

The general dose is 1–2 tablespoons per day, depending on the horse’s size and workload. Larger horses, or those under stress or recovering, may require higher doses. Consult an equine herbalist if unsure.
