GOPO® – A Vital Difference

Patented extraction and drying processes used to manufacture Rose-Hip Vital® isolate and activate a fatty acid/galactolipid (glycoside of mono and diglycerol), called GOPO®.

Some white blood cells in the body contain granulocytes which enable them to ‘clean’ an inflamed joint by destroying the bacteria in it. Too many of these white blood cells wear down tissue cartilage. In large numbers they can also produce chemical enzymes and toxic free-radicals which cause even more tissue damage. Accumulation of white blood cells combined with the release of chemical substances causes joint pain and inflammation. The more inflamed a joint becomes, the more the white blood cells are attracted to it – a painful cycle.

The active compound GOPO® discourages large numbers of white blood cells from accumulating in the joint, thereby breaking the cycle of joint inflammation and alleviating pain.

Treating Joint Pain Naturally

Rose-Hip Vital® with GOPO® is changing the lives of thousands of Australians, allowing them to keep doing the things they love.

A published review on the research supporting Rose-Hip Vital® with GOPO® by one of Australia’s foremost experts in complementary medicines says the studies found Rose-Hip Vital® with GOPO® to be safe and can be used alongside conventional treatments as well as potentially replacing or reducing the reliance on anti-inflammatory and other pain medication. “Research shows Rosehip doesn’t have the potential side effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin, and is suitable for people at increased risk from the gastrointestinal or cardiovascular side effects of NSAID.”

Following a review on the research supporting Rose-Hip Vital® with GOPO®, Rosehip is listed on the Arthritis Australia Complementary Therapies information sheet.

Evaluating the science

Rosehips have been used for centuries as an ingredient in skincare, as a feed supplement and more recently as a natural anti-inflammatory. So how do you know if a supplement can deliver on its promise? Science is the key. When evaluating science supporting a product, it’s important to ascertain the level of testing, with the most detailed level being double-blind placebo controlled clinical trials. These trials are published in independent peer-reviewed medical, pharmacology and health journals.

Rose-Hip Vital® with GOPO® is supported by over 30 scientific papers, including 9 double-blind placebo controlled clinical trials. Manufactured in Denmark by Hyben Vital, it is acknowledged as the leader in the field of Rosehip manufactured as a natural anti-inflammatory. The respected international researcher, Robin Christensen, author of Rosehip powder Meta-analysis – emphasises that it is only the Rosehip preparation manufactured by Hyben Vital, Denmark that has been the subject of testing in clinical trials.

Therapeutic claims for complementary therapies need to be supported by scientific evidence found in clinical trials. In order to make a claim, these trials must relate specifically to the product. Other rosehip products referring to Rose-Hip Vital® with GOPO® scientific data are not able to make the same claims as they do not use the same patented manufacturing processes.
