May aid weight loss

According to research, rosehip tea may help with weight loss. Rosehips from the Rosa canina plant have been shown in studies to be high in an antioxidant called tiliroside, which may have fat-burning abilities. In an 8-week trial of obese mice, those fed a high-fat diet with 1% rosehip extract acquired considerably less body weight and stomach fat than those who did not get the supplement.

Human studies provide comparable findings. In a 12-week trial of 32 overweight people, ingesting 100 mg of rosehip extract daily reduced body weight and stomach fat much more than the placebo group. However, a recent study focuses on the effects of concentrated rosehip extract rather than tea. More human research is required to assess the link between rosehip tea and weight loss.
