Impending winter months place added pressure on your dog's immune system, meaning a boost to their natural defences is needed now more than ever.
Vitamin C has long been considered one of nature’s most potent allies in combating immune-mediated conditions, thanks to its powerful antihistamine benefits. But did you know that many vitamin C products on the market are either highly refined or synthetic, meaning that the body eliminates them before any benefits can be effectively absorbed?
Vitamin C is water-soluble and must be regularly replenished to provide effective immune support. For this reason, naturally-occurring vitamin C - like that found in Rose-Hip Vital Canine - is best because the body recognises it as fuel, efficiently and effectively retaining the maximum benefits.
Many people know that you can inflate your vitamin C intake by consuming certain fruits and vegetables, like oranges and carrots - but it can be difficult to adopt the same approach with our pets!
A less-common but powerhouse producer of vitamin C is the Rosa Canina berry, the superfood source of Rose-Hip Vital Canine. Rosa Canina belongs to the Rosehip family of berries, certain types of which contain more than sixty times the vitamin C found in an orange!
While rosehips grow naturally in South Africa and South America, Rose-Hip Vital source our berries from Denmark, where the harvest is allowed to deeply root and mature for up to four years without any artificial interference. A patented extraction and drying method isolates 23 naturally-occurring minerals and 8 vitamins, including vitamin C, from every yield. This process is not only exclusive to Rose-Hip Vital, but scientific research has found it to amplify the potency of the vitamins and minerals it extracts.
You can read all about our canine dosage here, but generally we recommend 2 scoops (5gs) daily for dogs between 15-30kgs. This will fuel your best mate with over 46mg of naturally-occurring vitamin C.
With no wheat, dairy, gluten or sugar, and free from any additives, fillers or preservatives, Rose-Hip Vital Canine is an all-natural super-booster for your dog's immune system. Backed by over 30 clinical trials, you can safely incorporate our rosehip powders into an existing routine knowing there are no known side-effects or contraindications.
Tackle this year’s winter season with the strength of nature’s very own infection-fighting superfood!
