Rose hip

Rose hips may act as a histamine liberator in sensitive individuals.

Caution

May cause symptoms in more sensitive people. Track your own reaction.

Rosehips are the fruit of the dog rose plant, known for their high content of vitamin C, antioxidants, and other biologically active substances that support the immune system. In the official SIGHI database, they are classified as level 1 and categorized as a histamine liberator, meaning that while they do not naturally contain high levels of histamine, they can stimulate its release in sensitive individuals, which is why caution and individual tolerance testing are recommended when consuming them, for example in teas or syrups.
