Benefits of Rosehip Tablets for Joint Pain

Rosehip is an herbal treatment that has been effective in treating joint pain in those who suffer with arthritis.  It is a natural treatment which is preferred by many who do not want to take chemically produced substances to achieve relief.

The benefit of rosehip to treat arthritis pain has been studied in comparison to the effects of glucosamine and it has been found to give results in as little as 3 weeks when compared to the usual 12 weeks with glucosamine treatment.

Benefits of G.O.P.O. found in Rosehip Tablets for Joint Pain

One of the key ingredients found in rosehip tablets are the Glycocides of Mono and Dyglycerol (commonly known as G.O.P.O.).  This ingredient works to decrease the number of white cells that result in inflammation of the joint.  White blood cells accumulate in the inflamed joint and as the inflammation increases so do the number of white blood cells.  When the amounts of white blood cells increase in combination with toxic free radicals the result is further joint damage, increased inflammation and increased pain.  G.O.P.O. works to reduce the amount of white cells in the joint and helps to slow down the production of toxic free radicals.
