In reply to why is there 'rosa canina' in my fish oil capsules, posted by Francesco on December 2, 2003, at 3:49:57
215. ROSA CANINA.—Hips. DOG ROSE. The fruit of Ro'sa cani'na Linné, common in Europe. Ovoid, or pitcher-shaped, about 18 mm. (3/4 in.) long, with a smooth, shining, red surface. It consists of the ripened fleshy calyx, surmounted by the five calyx teeth; its cavity is hairy inside, and contains numerous hard, hairy akenes, but these akenes and hairs are removed before the hips are used. Taste acidulous, slightly astringent, due to the malic and citric acids and slight quantity of tannin contained; odorless. Refrigerant, mild astringent, and diuretic. Confection of hips is a familiar preparation abroad.
Heaps more on it if you put "rosa canina" into a Google search.I dont know much about your symptoms/ailments, but its said some people react poorly to omega oils....apparently these people require a specific type of omega 6 oil. I'm sure its been mentioned on here inthe past month or so.
