Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is FERN i-flex® / Where does FERN i-flex® come from?

FERN i-flex® is a joint health supplement containing a 100% natural, specialized and unique patented form of rosehip powder derived from carefully selected sources. FERN i-flex® is a capsule that contains this specialized rosehip powder.

2. What is a rosehip / what is Rosa Canina?

A rosehip is a "fruit" or "bud" of the rose bush that is left after the actual rose flower has flowered. Rosa Canina is the latin plant name given to this particular form of rosehip.

The rosehip is harvested and frozen to preserve the nutritional value of the fruit. The "peach fuzz" or "tiny hairs" are removed from the surface of the fruit, then it is slowly dried, milled and encapsulated to make FERN i-flex®.

3. Is FERN i-flex® all-natural?

FERN i-flex® is 100% natural and completely drug-free, with NO added preservatives. It is derived from a plant (wild rosebush).

4. How is FERN i-flex® different from other joint health medication/ supplements?

There are other solutions available in the market in order to promote joint health and/or relieve joint pain. These are glucosamine / chondroitin, and typical pain relievers.

As a comparison: Did you know that glucosamine typically comes from the exoskeletons (X-O-skeletons) of ground up shellfish?

Pain relievers on the other hand are derived from synthetic materials that can have harmful side effects.

FERN i-flex® contains NO dairy, NO sugar, NO gluten, NO fillers or binders, and is produced without Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)! Natural rain and sunshine is all that is needed to grow the Rosa Canina used for FERN i-flex®!

5. Is FERN i-flex® safe / Does FERN i-flex® have any side effects?

FERN i-flex® is safe. Rosehip powder has a long history of safe use as a food supplements in Europe and the United States…hundreds of years of safe use!

This gentle and natural dietary supplement has shown no side effects different from placebo in all clinical studies. Even doses of up to 45g per day, which is about ten times the recommended daily dose, have been well tolerated!

6. What is the difference between FERN i-flex®and regular rosehip powder supplements?

Since many of the components of rosehip powder are heat and light sensitive, great care is taken to process the rosehip powder in FERN i-flex® under carefully controlled conditions. The rosehips are first frozen upon harvest. Then a patented, low-temperature drying process is used to ensure the rosehips are never unnecessarily heated to extreme temperatures. This careful, patented drying process preserves the active components of the gentle rosehip. It's also what makes FERN i-flex® unique from other rosehip products, which are typically left in the hot sun to "dry out" the rosehip, causing it to lose its active nutrient value.

7. Can I take FERN i-flex® while taking other medications?

FERN i-flex® generally has no contraindication with any other medication. However, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor if you have concerns with specific medications.

8. How long should I continue taking FERN i-flex®?

FERN i-flex® has been shown to provide significant joint health benefits in as little as three weeks, but we recommend to continue taking FERN i-flex® to prevent these benefits from disappearing.

FERN i-flex® is NOT a drug. It is a natural product made from rosehips, and is safe enough to become part of your daily supplement regimen to support a healthy, active lifestyle.
