Wild fruit that grows abundantly in Vietnam and is ignored by everyone is an expensive elixir in the world.

Rosehip, a small fruit but rich in nutrients, has long been used in traditional medicine to treat many diseases. With its characteristic sweet and sour taste, rosehip is not only a delicious dish but also a powerful "weapon" to protect health.

Protect heart health

Rose hips are a "shield" that protects cardiovascular health thanks to the perfect combination of antioxidants and potassium. Antioxidants such as flavonoids and anthocyanins help neutralize free radicals, prevent LDL oxidation and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. Meanwhile, potassium helps regulate blood pressure, reducing the burden on the heart and blood vessels. This combination creates a strong "shield" that protects the cardiovascular system from damage caused by risk factors.

Support diabetes treatment

The biological compounds in rose hips help increase insulin production in the pancreas, an important hormone that helps transport glucose from the blood into cells to provide energy. At the same time, rose hips also improve the sensitivity of cells to insulin, making it easier for glucose to enter cells. As a result, blood sugar levels are stabilized, minimizing the dangerous complications of diabetes.

Improve eyesight

Getting enough nutrients is essential for healthy eyes. Rose hips, which are high in vitamin A and antioxidants, are a great choice. Vitamin A helps maintain the health of the cornea and retina, while antioxidants protect the eyes from the harmful effects of blue light and other environmental factors. As a result, rose hips help reduce the risk of common eye diseases in older people such as macular degeneration and cataracts, and help maintain clear vision for a long time.

Anti-inflammatory, pain reliever

Rose hips contain many natural anti-inflammatory compounds that help reduce inflammatory reactions in the body. These compounds work by inhibiting inflammatory enzymes, reducing the production of inflammatory mediators, and stabilizing cell membranes. As a result, rose hips help reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation and support the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, pharyngitis, and urinary tract infections. In addition, the anti-inflammatory compounds in rose hips can also reduce the symptoms of allergies and asthma.

Beautify skin, prevent aging

Vitamin C and antioxidants found in rose hips play an important role in maintaining youthful, smooth skin. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes harmful free radicals and protects collagen – a structural protein of the skin – from being destroyed.

At the same time, vitamin C also stimulates the production of new collagen, helping to increase skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles and prevent the formation of new wrinkles. Other antioxidants such as flavonoids and anthocyanins also help protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays, prevent dark spots and freckles, and bring bright, healthy skin.

Support digestion, prevent cancer

The fiber in rose hips helps stimulate intestinal motility, prevent constipation, improve the digestive system, and help the body absorb nutrients better. The powerful antioxidants in rose hips help neutralize free radicals, prevent cell damage, and reduce the risk of cancer, especially stomach cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer.
