HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rosehip Extract Powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Rosehip Fruit Extract, 500 mg per serving. Rosehip is the fruit of the Rosa canina and Rosa damascena plants, traditionally used in herbal medicine.

The only other ingredient is dextrin, an inactive filler used to give the powder its bulk and consistency.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Rose Hip's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Rose Hip for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Osteoarthritis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Postoperative pain — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Rosehip extract is possibly effective for postoperative pain (pain after surgery) and possibly effective for osteoarthritis. The evidence for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia) is insufficient — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether it works for that.

If you're considering this for pain or joint issues, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence fits your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rose Hip

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Rosehip from Rosa canina and Rosa damascena species is generally well tolerated when taken orally. The most common side effects are flatulence and loose stools.

Vertigo and headache have been reported rarely. Gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, heartburn, and stomach cramps can occur, but in most studies these happened at about the same rate in people taking placebo, so they may not be from the rosehip itself.

That said, supplement safety at concentrated doses is less well studied than food amounts — the safety notes advise caution with concentrated supplements unless your doctor has approved them.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rose Hip

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Rose Hip.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; cancer treatments; lithium.
  • For scale: 213 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin), estrogen-based medications (oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy), or lithium. Moderate interactions exist for all of these.

If you're undergoing chemotherapy with alkylating agents or antitumor antibiotics, talk to your oncology team first — rosehip's antioxidant effects might theoretically affect how these drugs work.

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.

Rosehip extract is a single-ingredient supplement possibly effective for postoperative pain and osteoarthritis. It's generally well tolerated, though digestive upset (loose stools, flatulence) is the most common side effect.

If you take blood thinners, estrogen-based medications, lithium, or chemotherapy drugs, check with your pharmacist before starting this — the interactions are moderate concerns. Otherwise, a good choice to discuss with your doctor for pain or joint support.

Rosehip Fruit Extract8 drug types · 213 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
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.

Rosehip Extract Powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com: Common Questions

Does Rosehip Extract Powder 500 mg by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Rosehip Extract Powder 500 mg has a known interaction with 213 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Rosehip Extract Powder 500 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What's the most common side effect I should expect?
Flatulence and loose stools are the most commonly reported side effects. Nausea, diarrhea, and heartburn can occur, but in most studies they happened just as often in people taking placebo, so they may not be from the rosehip itself.
Does rosehip actually help with arthritis pain?
It's rated possibly effective for osteoarthritis. The evidence is there, but it's not definitive. Talk with your doctor about whether it's a fit for your situation and whether to combine it with other treatments.
Is this safe to take long-term?
Rosehip from Rosa canina and Rosa damascena is well tolerated when eaten as food. At supplement doses, though, the long-term safety data isn't as solid. Use caution, and if you're taking this regularly, check in with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for you.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The facts we have don't include pregnancy or breastfeeding safety information for rosehip. Because of the interactions with estrogen and the lack of studied safety data at supplement doses, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this while pregnant or nursing — they can give you personalized advice.
What is rosehip, exactly?
It's the fruit of the Rosa canina and Rosa damascena plants. It's been used in traditional herbal medicine for a long time and contains vitamin C and other compounds. This product is a concentrated extract in powder form — stronger than eating rosehip in food.
