GOPO Joint Health Plus Ginger

GOPO Joint Health Plus Ginger is a unique patented food supplement made from specially cultivated rose-hip, enhanced with ginger root extract.

The product will contain the same level of GOPO per capsule, to which the equivalent of 1g ginger root is added.

Long-standing Scandinavian research projects, together with published scientific studies have established that rose-hip (Rosa canina) with a high level of GOPO may play a valuable role in the care of joints and joint tissues. Ginger may help maintain supple joints and morning flexibility.

GOPO Joint Health is also rich in Vitamin C which is essential for normal collagen formation, needed by the body for healthy bones and cartilage.

About Rose-hip

Rose-hips are best known as one of the richest plant sources of Vitamin C. During world war ll when there was a shortage of citrus fruits in the UK the British government organised the harvesting of as many rose-hips as possible as a substitute source of Vitamin C. This led to a generation of children growing up with a daily spoonful of rose-hip syrup.

Apart from Vitamin C, rose-hips also contain other vitamins, pectin, tannins, flavonoids, carotenoids, and galactolipids. Galactolipids are found in cell membranes and have formed the basis of a number of different studies.

One particular galactolipid "GOPO" is of particular interest and has been subject of considerable research.
