Can You Take Rosehip Extract and Vitamin C Together?

Use extra care with this pair

The short answer

Rosehip Extract naturally contains high levels of Vitamin C (up to 1,700 mg per 100g). Supplementing additional Vitamin C alongside Rosehip may lead to excessive Vitamin C intake, increasing risk of gastrointestinal distress and kidney stones.

How to arrange timing

Account for Rosehip's natural Vitamin C content when determining total Vitamin C supplementation. Reduce separate Vitamin C dose accordingly.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
