Product Information
Vitamin C from a whole plant
Rosa canina L is the botanical name for dog rose, the wild rosehip that has been used as a natural source of vitamin C across generations. What sets it apart from a synthetic ascorbic acid capsule is the context it comes in: alongside the vitamin C you get a range of polyphenols, bioflavonoids and plant compounds that work together in the way nature arranged them. The result is a form of vitamin C that is gentle, well-absorbed and easy to take daily as a tincture.
Immune support you can build a habit around
Vitamin C does not work as a one-off. Its role in immune function is cumulative, a daily building of the body’s natural defences rather than a sudden boost when things go wrong. Taking a few drops three times a day is the kind of small, consistent habit that adds up over weeks and months, and a tincture makes that easier to remember than a capsule buried at the back of a shelf.
Antioxidants and everyday cellular health
The body generates free radicals every day through normal metabolism, exercise, stress and exposure to the environment. Vitamin C is one of the most well-researched antioxidants for helping the body neutralise those free radicals and keep cellular function running smoothly. That background protection is part of why vitamin C has stayed at the top of the list of daily supplements for so long.
Collagen, skin and connective tissue
Vitamin C is a direct cofactor in the synthesis of collagen, the structural protein that holds skin firm, keeps joints comfortable and maintains connective tissue throughout the body. Getting enough vitamin C consistently is one of the foundational steps for supporting skin health from within and for keeping connective tissue well nourished over time.
Who tends to reach for this one
This tincture is a good fit for people who want a whole-plant form of vitamin C rather than a synthetic pill, for families who want one formula that suits adults and children alike, and for anyone who takes iron supplements or eats iron-rich meals and wants to support absorption naturally. Three drops in a little water, three times a day, scales easily by age for children aged one and up.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
What is Natural Vitamin C?
It is a tincture made from Rosa canina L, the botanical name for wild rosehip, which is one of nature's richest plant sources of vitamin C. Unlike synthetic ascorbic acid, it comes with the full plant context, including bioflavonoids and polyphenols that support how well the body uses it.
How is it different from a synthetic vitamin C supplement?
Natural sources like rosehip come alongside other plant compounds that work with vitamin C in the body. Bioflavonoids in particular are known to support its absorption and activity. Dr. van der Merwe uses natural, whole-plant sources precisely because she prefers the body to receive nutrients in as close to their original form as possible.
How do I take it?
Ten drops in a little water, three times a day, for adults. For children aged one to ten, use one drop per year of age, three times a day. Tying it to mealtimes makes it easy to remember.
Is it safe for children?
Yes. The dosing is designed to scale by age for children from one year old. If your child is under one, or if there is a health condition in the picture, check with your healthcare practitioner first.
Can I take it with my iron supplement?
Yes, and it is actually a good pairing. Vitamin C taken at the same time as iron is one of the most practical ways to support iron absorption from both supplements and iron-rich food.
Are there any side effects?
It is well tolerated by most people at the recommended dose. High doses of vitamin C can cause digestive discomfort in some individuals, so stick to the directions and check with your healthcare practitioner if you are unsure.
Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. It is plant based with no animal-derived ingredients, which is the standard Dr. van der Merwe holds across the Anothen range.
Who makes it?
It is supplied by Dr. Hester van der Merwe, a registered health practitioner, and made locally in South Africa. That means there is always a real person accountable for what goes into the bottle.
