Rosa rugosa Shows Potential as an Anti-Aging Tea

Rosa rugosa includes high levels of vitamin C and shows potential as an anti-inflammation and anti-aging tea.

Anti-Aging Properties of Rosa rugosa

A 2019 study published in the Journal of Food Biochemistry indicates that Rosa rugosa (Rose Hips) offers significant health benefits and suggests that Rosa rugosa aqueous polyphenol (RAP) could potentially be developed as a bioactive product that demonstrates anti-aging properties.

In recent years, scientific interest in Rosa rugosa has increased due to its antioxidant properties, high levels of vitamin C, and its anti-inflammation properties. The extract made from the plant has the potential to support treatment for physical issues related to oxidative stress, including hepatotoxicity, renal disturbances, diarrhea, arthritis, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and obesity.

Rosa rugosa is the newest extract in Linden Botanicals’ line of all-natural, healthy extracts. The Rosa rugosa extract we sell is standardized to 20% vitamin C. The all-natural extract can be used to provide support as an anti-inflammation, anti-aging tea.

Vitamin C is best known for its antioxidant properties. Vitamin C is able to scavenge damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS) to protect the body’s cells and tissues from oxidative damage and dysfunction. Vitamin C also supports healthy immune function. Vitamin C levels can become depleted from the body during infection. Rosa rugosa extract benefits include high vitamin C content.

Anti-Inflammation Properties of Rosa rugosa

Along with its potential properties as an anti-aging tea, Rosa rugosa has anti-inflammation properties that are the subject of extensive study. Inflammation helps to protect the body against different harmful stimuli, such as infection, chemical exposure, tissue damage, trauma, and bacteria exposure. However, excessive inflammation may harm tissues and organisms and has been associated with the development and onset of rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, and other inflammation-related issues.

Studies demonstrate that Rosa rugosa provides anti-inflammation support. The flower extract of Rosa rugosa has antioxidant properties that may act as a beneficial anti-inflammatory agent.

Rose hips are the round portion of the rose flower just below the petals, and they are traditionally valued for their active compounds. The plant’s benefits are associated with their ascorbic acid, phenolic content, and healthy fatty acid content, including vitamin E and lycopene. Extensive research is continuing on Rosa rugosa’s bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacity and on the potential benefits of anti-aging tea made from Rosa rugosa extract.
