HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rose Hips Solid Extract by Wise Woman Herbals
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
Low disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: rose hip, a solid extract in liquid form. Rose hip is the fruit of the rose plant and has been used traditionally for its vitamin C content and other compounds.
The product also contains glycerine as an inactive ingredient.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Rose hip extract is possibly effective for postoperative pain (pain after surgery) based on the evidence we hold. For osteoarthritis, the data also shows possibly effective.
For high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), there isn't enough reliable evidence to know whether it works.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Rose hip from the common rosa canina and rosa damascena species is generally well tolerated as a food, though supplement safety is less studied than food use. The most common side effects are flatgence and loose stools.
Rarely, vertigo and headache have been reported. Gastrointestinal upset — including stomach cramps, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and heartburn — has been reported in some cases, though in most studies these happened just as often in people taking placebo.
Because there isn't enough reliable safety data on supplement-strength doses, use caution and avoid concentrated supplements unless your doctor approves.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you use estrogens (birth control or hormone therapy), as rose hip may increase your hormone levels. Also double-check if you take blood thinners like warfarin or other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, lithium, or any chemotherapy medications.
If you take aluminum supplements or antacids, space them at least two hours apart from this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Rose hip extract may be worth considering if you're interested in managing postoperative pain or osteoarthritis symptoms, though the evidence is modest. If you take birth control, hormone therapy, blood thinners, lithium, or chemotherapy, this product needs to be cleared with your doctor or pharmacist first — the interactions are real enough to matter.
Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before starting.

Rose Hips Solid Extract by Wise Woman Herbals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Rose Hips Solid Extract by Wise Woman Herbals, through its rose hip content, has documented interactions with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with estrogens (birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy), where rose hip's vitamin C may increase blood estrogen levels by up to 55% in some cases — a Moderate-severity effect that could reduce contraceptive reliability or shift hormone therapy balance.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Rose hip may also affect blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) like warfarin by theoretically reducing their effectiveness, though its vitamin C content is likely too low for major clinical impact. It can theoretically increase lithium blood levels through diuretic effects, potentially requiring a dose adjustment.
There's also theoretical concern about its antioxidant effects interfering with certain chemotherapy drugs — both alkylating agents and antitumor antibiotics — though the practical significance remains unclear.
Additionally, rose hip may increase aluminum absorption if you take aluminum-containing compounds, and it could slightly reduce aspirin clearance (though again, the vitamin C amount is probably too low to matter much in practice). Altogether, these interactions span 213 individual medications.

Rose Hip
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.
