Rose Hip Joint Health Vitamin C

GOPO Joint Health is made from 100% specially cultivated natural rose-hip and is the only product of its kind to contain a high level of GOPO - a key component of the rose-hip which may play a valuable role in the care of joints and joint tissues. GOPO was discovered over 20 years ago in Denmark and significant levels can only be obtained if the rose-hips are dried using a special patented process.

GOPO Joint Health is also rich in Vitamin C which is essential for normal collagen formation, needed by the body for healthy bones and cartilage.

There are many things you can do to keep your joints healthy and supple.

Exercise

Controlled movement exercises can help you to maintain suppleness in joints, while strengthening exercises can help your muscles take the pressure off your joints. For example, swimming is a great aerobic exercise to help improve overall fitness and control weight. You should talk to your doctor before exercising, as he or she may be able to give advice on the best exercises for you.

Diet

Any excess weight you can shed will help to relieve strain on delicate joints. And of course, losing weight may encourage you to be more active too. A healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and veg is to be recommended. More specifically, oily fish like sardines, kippers, mackerel and fresh tuna contain omega-3 essential fatty acids, which have been shown to help maintain joint mobility and suppleness.
