GOPO® for joint health

Pharmacists have a key role when it comes to advising customers on options to support their long-term joint health, rather than simply recommending a ‘quick fix’.

GOPO® Joint Health provides a scientifically documented rosehip powder that is made using a specialist process to ensure that the powder retains high levels of the galactolipid GOPO®. Rosehip may play a valuable role in the care of joints and joint tissues. The galactolipid GOPO® has been studied in over 20 scientific trials.


GOPO Joint Health is also rich in Vitamin C which is essential for normal collagen formation, needed by the body for healthy bones and cartilage.

High levels of the galactolipid GOPO® are found only in GOPO® Joint Health.
