You've probably seen this often on containers of vitamin C, from rose hips or with rose hips. Then, upon looking more closely, you'll likely see vitamin C from ascorbic acid 500 mg or even 1000 mg and rose hips 60 mg (more or less).
So, marketing makes it seem as though you're getting vitamin C from rose hips, but it's mostly ascorbic acid with a dash of rose hips. You may understandably wonder: what are rose hips anyway?
Rose hips are the fruits of rose plants; they are small, red and round.
