HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rose Hips 5% Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: Rose Hips Extract, Powder. Rose hip is the fruit of the rose plant and has been studied for pain relief and joint health.
There are no inactive ingredients listed for this powder.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Rose hip is possibly effective for postoperative pain (pain after surgery). Evidence is also considered possibly effective for osteoarthritis.
However, the evidence for rose hip's effect on high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) is insufficient — we simply don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for that purpose.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Rose hip from common varieties (Rosa canina and Rosa damascena) is generally well tolerated, though supplement safety data is less studied than food safety. The most common side effects are mild: flatulence and loose stools.
Rarely, vertigo and headache have been reported. Some people report gastrointestinal effects like heartburn, nausea, or diarrhea, though in most studies these happened about as often in people taking placebo.
Because rose hip powder is a source of vitamin C, very high doses can cause osmotic diarrhea and digestive upset — but typical supplement amounts are much lower than those that cause this. Avoid concentrated supplements unless your doctor approves them.
Data on pregnancy and lactation safety is not on file.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take estrogens (birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy), blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, other anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), lithium, chemotherapy drugs, or aluminum-containing antacids or supplements. These are Moderate interactions that may affect how your medications work or your safety.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Rose hip may help with postoperative pain and osteoarthritis symptoms, but it's not your move to take it if you're on birth control, hormone therapy, blood thinners, lithium, or chemotherapy — those interactions are real and need your doctor's or pharmacist's eyes first. Even if you're on other medications, run through the interaction checker below before you start.
Talk it over with your own healthcare provider to make sure it fits your specific situation.

Rose Hips Extract, Powder monograph & interactionsRose Hips 5% Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Rose Hips 5% Extract Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection interacts with several medication types, most seriously through its vitamin C content and other plant compounds.
The most serious concern is with estrogens (birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy): vitamin C in rose hip can raise estrogen blood levels by up to 55%, which may reduce contraceptive effectiveness or cause hormone levels to climb unexpectedly.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Rose hip also has moderate interactions with blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs like warfarin and aspirin), lithium for mood disorders, chemotherapy drugs (alkylating agents and antitumor antibiotics), and aluminum-containing products. The blood thinner risk comes from a plant compound that may promote clotting; the lithium risk stems from rose hip's potential diuretic effect, which could raise lithium to unsafe levels.
Chemotherapy concerns center on vitamin C's antioxidant effects potentially interfering with how certain cancer drugs work.
Also check before combining with aspirin or warfarin specifically — their vitamin C content in rose hip is thought too low for major effects, but individual response varies. Altogether, these interactions span 213 individual medications.
If you take any prescription medication, run it through the checker below before adding this supplement.

Rose Hips Extract, Powder
Alkylating Agents
Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of alkylating agents but might also reduce the oxidative damage caused by certain alkylating agents.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. The use of antioxidants like vitamin C during chemotherapy is controversial. There is concern that antioxidants could reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as cyclophosphamide, chlorambucil, carmustine, busulfan, and thiotepa. In contrast, some researchers theorize that antioxidants might make chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. Further, some animal research suggests that the antioxidant effects of rose hip might attenuate cyclophosphamide-induced testicular toxicity. More evidence is needed to determine what effect, if any, antioxidants found in rose hip, such as vitamin C, have on the effectiveness and adverse effects of chemotherapy.
Aluminum
Theoretically, rose hip might increase the amount of aluminum absorbed from aluminum compounds.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. Theoretically, vitamin C increases the absorption of aluminum. Concomitant use might increase aluminum absorption, but the clinical significance of this is unknown. Administer rose hip two hours before or four hours after antacids.
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research suggests that a constituent of rose hip, rugosin E, can induce platelet aggregation. This has not been shown in humans. Theoretically, concomitant use of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Antitumor Antibiotics
Theoretically, the antioxidant effects of rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of antitumor antibiotics.
Rose hip contains the antioxidant vitamin C. There is concern that antioxidants might reduce the activity of chemotherapy drugs that generate free radicals, such as antitumor antibiotics. In contrast, other researchers theorize that antioxidants might make antitumor antibiotic chemotherapy more effective by reducing oxidative stress that could interfere with apoptosis (cell death) of cancer cells. More evidence is needed to determine what effects, if any, antioxidants such as vitamin C have on antitumor antibiotic chemotherapy.
Estrogens
Theoretically, rose hip might increase blood levels of estrogens.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. Increases in plasma estrogen levels of up to 55% have occured under some circumstances when vitamin C is taken concurrently with oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, including topical products. It is suggested that vitamin C prevents oxidation of estrogen in the tissues, regenerates oxidized estrogen, and reduces sulfate conjugation of estrogen in the gut wall. When tissue levels of vitamin C are high, these processes are already maximized and supplemental vitamin C does not have any effect on estrogen levels. However, increases in plasma estrogen levels may occur when women who are deficient in vitamin C take supplements.
Lithium
Theoretically, rose hip might increase blood levels of lithium.
Rose hip is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, rose hip might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
Aspirin
Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the clearance of aspirin; however, its vitamin C content is likely too low to produce clinically significant effects.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. It has been suggested that acidification of the urine by vitamin C can decrease the urinary excretion of salicylates, increasing plasma salicylate levels. However, short-term use of up to 6 grams daily of vitamin C does not seem to affect urinary pH or salicylate excretion. The vitamin C content of rose hip is typically about 500 mg per 100 grams. Thus, a clinically significant interaction between rose hip and aspirin is unlikely.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, rose hip might reduce the effectiveness of warfarin; however, its vitamin C content is likely too low to produce clinically significant effects.
Rose hip contains vitamin C. High doses of vitamin C may reduce the response to warfarin, possibly by causing diarrhea and reducing warfarin absorption. This occurred in two people who took up to 16 grams daily of vitamin C, and resulted in decreased prothrombin time. Lower doses of 5-10 grams daily of vitamin C can also reduce warfarin absorption, but this does not seem to be clinically significant. The vitamin C content of rose hip is typically about 500 mg per 100 grams. Thus, a clinically significant interaction between rose hip and warfarin is unlikely.
