"I had noticed recently that several of my friends had really lovely, glowing, healthy looking complexions and it seems that their secret is taking the Rosa Mosqueta Oil capsules! I have been taking them for a little while and already notice a difference." - Customer Comment

Rio Rosa Mosqueta oil is pressed from the hips of a wild rose that grows in the Chilean Andes mountains - Rosa affines rubiginosa, commonly known as Rosa Mosqueta.

Rosa Mosqueta oil naturally contains high concentrations of Essential Fatty Acids, or E.F.A's (primarily Omega 3 & 6 fats), and it is higher in Gamma Linoleic Acid (G.L.A.) than Evening Primrose Oil, Starflower Oil (Borage oil) or Blackcurrant seed oil. Rosa Mosqueta also contains trans-retinoic acid – a naturally occurring compound related to vitamin A.

Rio Rosa Mosqueta oil capsules are ideal as a general Essential Fatty Acid supplement. Regular supplementation supports normal skin health for the whole body and so promotes ‘skin beauty from within’. The capsules can be used as an adjunct to the topical oil.

Please note: Rio Rosa Mosqueta Oil is now in gelatin capsules.

Usage

Take 3 capsules per day before food or as recommended by your practitioner.

Ingredients

Pure Rosa Mosqueta (Rosa aff. rubiginosa) rosehip oil, Vitamin E oil. Capsule shell: Gelatin, Glycerin.

A note about Rosa Mosqueta’s Essential Fatty Acid Content

Rosa Mosqueta oil is a 100% natural product, so the specific levels of the fatty acids found in it will vary – but the total content is usually over 90% EFA’s. The levels of Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) are higher than evening primrose oil (7-10% GLA) and Starflower oil (20% GLA).

On average, a single 500mg capsule of Rio Rosa Mosqueta provides between 200-250mg of GLA.

This compares with

Evening Primrose Oil  - 100mg GLA per capsule
Mega GLA  - 160mg GLA per capsule

Allergens

Contains vitamin E sourced from Soya (Non GMO)
