GOPO® — A Vital Difference
Thanks to patented extraction and drying processes, Rose-Hip Vital® Canine contains the active compound GOPO® (glycoside of mono and diglycerol).
The production process of Rose-Hip Vital® involves harvesting the rosehip fruits when they are fully ripe and selecting optimal fruits using a laser technique. These fruits are then dried using a patented extraction process which preserves the nutrient content, as well as isolating and activating a fatty acid/galactolipid (glycoside of mono and diglycerol) called GOPO® which has powerful clinically-proven anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties.
The same patented process concentrate and preserve the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals which work in synergy to boost immunity, repair damaged cells and deliver maximum health benefits.
GOPO® is exclusive to Rose-Hip Vital® Canine
The active compound was discovered in Denmark and is exclusive to the Rose-Hip Vital® branded powder. Rosehip products without GOPO® have not been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It is also the same registered active compound found in the capsules of Rose-Hip Vital® for humans.
How does GOPO® work?
Some white blood cells 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.
GOPO® discourages large numbers of white blood cells from accumulating in the joint, thereby breaking the cycle of joint inflammation and alleviating pain. This also helps to:
- Reduce joint damage.
- Reduce joint pain and stiffness.
- Reduce the consumption of traditional pain killers.
- Improve general joint health and wellbeing.
