Several groups should approach the product with more care:
- People with gallstone disease. The organic acids in rosehip can increase bile secretion, which is undesirable when stones are present unless agreed with a doctor.
- Those who monitor their sugar intake. Syrup is a sweet form of the product, and its carbohydrate load differs from that of a decoction or capsules. People with diabetes or insulin resistance should take this into account when planning their diet.
- People with allergies or increased sensitivity. Rosehip contains flavonoids and organic acids that can cause a reaction in some people. If you are prone to allergies, start with the smallest amount.
- Those who take medication on a regular basis. High doses of vitamin C can affect the absorption of iron preparations, the activity of antibiotics and the action of anticoagulants. If you take such medicines, check compatibility with a specialist before you start using the syrup regularly.
This syrup is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women — this is stated in the contraindications on the label.
