Natural Source of Vitamin C

Rosehips are naturally known for their Vitamin C content and also provide a variety of naturally occurring plant compounds and antioxidants.

Vitamin C contributes to normal physiological functions and acts as an antioxidant, helping protect cells from oxidative stress.

Rather than describing Rosehips Cut as an “immune booster”, it is more accurate to say that its nutritional profile supports normal immune function and general wellbeing.

Antioxidant & Nutritional Support

Rosehips contain a variety of naturally occurring antioxidant plant compounds.

This makes them a useful nutritional addition during periods where animals may benefit from additional dietary support, including:

• Seasonal changes.
• Changes in workload.
• Increased nutritional demands.
• Returning to normal activity.
• Coat changes.
• General condition maintenance.

Skin & Coat Support

The combination of Vitamin C, antioxidants and naturally occurring plant nutrients makes Rosehips Cut a popular supplement for supporting healthy skin and coat condition.

It may be particularly useful during seasonal coat changes, when nutritional requirements associated with maintaining a healthy new coat can increase.

Hoof Nutritional Support

Rosehips can form part of a balanced nutritional programme designed to support normal hoof growth and condition.

Strong, healthy hooves depend on the horse's complete nutritional intake, including adequate protein, amino acids, minerals and vitamins, so Rosehips Cut should not be positioned as a stand-alone hoof treatment.

Support During Recovery

Rosehips Cut can provide useful nutritional and antioxidant support for animals returning to their normal feeding and activity routine following periods of increased demand.

I would avoid the stronger original claims that Rosehips Cut directly repairs or regenerates tissue or accelerates recovery from illness. Animals recovering from significant illness or injury should be managed according to veterinary advice.

Digestive Considerations

Rosehips have traditionally been used in herbal feeding programmes for digestive support.

However, I would not market Rosehips Cut as a treatment for scouring or diarrhoea. Persistent diarrhoea can have many causes and may require veterinary investigation.

Importantly, the manufacturer's supplied precautions state that excessive intake of Rosehips Cut may itself cause digestive upset or diarrhoea.

Suitable For

• Horses.
• Ponies.
• Dogs.
• Cats.
• Pigeons.
• Poultry.
• Animals requiring additional antioxidant nutritional support.
• Horses during seasonal coat changes.
• Animals where skin and coat condition are priorities.
• Horses where normal hoof condition is a nutritional priority.
• Animals requiring general nutritional and vitality support.

Feeding Guidelines

Mix Rosehips Cut into the animal's normal daily food.

A 5ml scoop is equivalent to approximately 5–6g.

For pigeons and poultry, mix thoroughly into the grain with a small quantity of vegetable oil according to the supplied directions.

Warnings & Precautions

• Follow the recommended feeding quantities.
• High intake of Vitamin C/ascorbic acid may contribute to digestive upset or diarrhoea.
• Reduce the daily quantity if digestive upset occurs.
• Persistent diarrhoea or other signs of illness should be assessed by a veterinarian.
• Introduce new supplements gradually.
• If your animal has an existing medical condition or receives medication, seek veterinary advice where appropriate.
