About the
Formula
Your post-workout BFF
Rose hips are humble but mighty — a medicinal fruit with so much more to offer than just Vitamin C. I first learned about using rose hips to support post-workout muscle soreness and recovery from my dad, thanks to his experience caring for horses. In veterinary herbalism, Rose hips are a kidney-loving herb that helps to support normal excretion of lactic acid build up. He would use rose hips as a supplement for his horses when they would start “tying up” after intense exercise to overexertion.
When I started experimenting with Rose hips as a recovery aid myself, I combined the strongest extract possible with another herbal exercise ally, Hawthorn, to further support my cardiovascular system and stamina. As someone who was always sore for consecutive days after a gym session, I knew I was onto something special; I hadn’t found anything this powerful before to truly improve my comfort and mobility after an intensive workout.
Utilize this formula directly after workouts, and again in the evening if desired, in order to support healthy circulation and ease temporary muscle soreness due to exercise or overexertion. Simply add 1/2 tsp of this potent extract to hot water, and it instantly dissolves to make a delicious post-workout tea that gets to work right away to help you feel more comfortable while you meet your fitness goals.
A metabolic + cardiovascular power couple
Two (herbs) are better than one, and this couldn’t be more true when it comes to Rose hips and Hawthorn berries: a dynamic duo. When developing this formula, I combined these two antioxidant-packed powerhouses for a synergistic approach. Whether you’re embarking on a new exercise regimen or looking for metabolic support as you age this delicious extract will strengthen your natural ability to recover better than ever. While Rose hips provide nourishment for muscle and joint health on their own, the potent and medicinal fruit of the Hawthorn plant nourishes and protects the heart and vascular system to optimize metabolic health. Not only do hawthorn berries support healthy circulation, aiding nutritional supply to the heart, they also promote healthy veins, arteries, and blood vessels.
Most importantly, both medicinal fruits are chock full of antioxidants that have been shown in countless studies to support a healthy inflammatory response systemically. These actions have been attributed to galactolipids and phenolics, as well as carotenoids such as lycopene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants tend to have a particular affinity for the cardiovascular system and blood vessels, maintaining and supporting heart and metabolic health, stamina, and blood circulation.

Supports happy hips, knees and joints
Perhaps the most important clinical benefit of the unsuspecting rose hip, is this fruit’s ability to promote a healthy inflammatory response. While most occasional stiffness and soreness comes about after exercise, there are often nagging areas of the body (like the hips, knees, or joints) that need some extra love due to an old injury or the aging process.
Interestingly enough, Rose hip’s ability to support a healthy inflammatory response within these areas exists independently from its rich Vitamin C or nutrient content. Instead, we look to the antioxidant activity of Rose hips; particularly, their polyphenolic compounds such as proanthocyanidins and flavonoids like quercetin and catechin. Aside from polyphenols, there’s another compound of interest in the clinical world: galactolipids, a class of compounds recently shown to possess powerful benefits both in vitro and in vivo.
The story
behind the formula
I’ve learned a lot about life from my father, but I never thought he’d be giving me tips on medicinal herbs — until I started to ask him about his experience with veterinary herbal therapy during his many years of caring for horses. One day, he shared with me that whenever his horses were “tying up” (aka experiencing severe muscle cramping and stiffness) after intense exercise, he would give them a blend of kidney herbs, including rose hips, to help their bodies effectively get rid of the lactic acid contributing to their soreness and discomfort.
As soon as he shared this with me, I began experimenting with Rose hips in my own post-workout routine. I've always dealt with soreness for extended periods of time after resistance training, and not only did this potent herbal extract help with the severity of my muscle soreness, it helped with the duration as well! Instead of 3-4 days of stiffness I was down to 1-2. I immediately shared with the OO community through Instagram, and knew this was something I had to add to my apothecary in the most potent form I could find.
