Scientific evidence that GOPO works
The evidence for effectiveness
The latest trial published in the Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology (3) showed that 82% of patients reported a reduction in pain after 3 weeks of active treatment. Pain was alleviated to such an extent that 40% reduced their consumption of paracetamol (3).
Further evidence of the effectiveness of rosehip on chronic joint conditions has been reported in the Phytomedicine Journal (2); 66% of patients taking Rose hip reported a reduction in joint pain. Interestingly, patients also reported an improvement in general wellbeing, including mood, sleep quality and energy.
