Hello to all fellow TNBC ladies.
I came across a recent report that rosehip extract has been shown to decrease tnbc cell proliferation by up to 50%. Google and read science daily report. So… Has anyone else read about this? I decided to buy some today as I saw it in Boots. You can also get higher strength extract in pill form online. People have used it for years to reduce joint pain, for example. I am unclear what the dosage is. It says in the report that 1mg/ 1ml is the dose which achieves 50% decrease. How does that translate to the well known high street brand which on back of pot says each tablet contains 187.5mg rosehip extract? Anyone understand this kind of thing?
I for one am happy to give them a try for a while, alongside Eribulin. Would be very grateful to hear your views on it and how much to take in tablet form. Am unclear what the correlation to mls is.
Thanks Bumpkin x
Hi Bumpkin,
I’ve attached a link to our publication on complementary therapies. On P16 it says:
_As with all herbal remedies,_check with your specialist team or GP before using them.

Hope this helps
