While the use of citrus has been the base of our knowledge on the subject of vitamin C, investigations have revealed that there are many other sources of that vitamin. It seems that one of the richest sources available today of vitamin C is Rose Hips. It has 60 times more vitamin C than citrus fruit.
Large quantities of vitamin C can be most useful for a great many of the common diseases that we have today to include the common cold, flu, pneumonia, and many other common complaints. Another good use of vitamin C can be as a cleansing agent, so as to avoid a disease problem before it happens by using a prophylactic dosage on a daily basis.
Vitamin C is related with bio-flavonoids and that it is most vital for them to be used together. Natural vitamin C and flavonoids are combined in nature. Rose Hips is rich in the bio-flavonoids and in vitamin C. The bio-flavonoids are vital to build and strengthen body tissues and are especially important in the building and maintaining of a good blood vascular system to include, preventing and healing of fragile capillaries.
Vitamin C is vitally necessary for every cell in our bodies, without which we could not maintain life for even one hour. Vitamin C is especially useful in herbal combinations designed for a variety of uses, such as general debility, exhaustion, gallbladder dysfunction, for kidney health, for tissue tone and balance, as a strengthening part of a diuretic formula and more. How wonderful that nature has provided these vital elements, vitamin C and the flavonoids, in so great an abundance in Rose Hips.
