MERCURY Fruit:
NICKEL Fruit 0.4 - 1 ppm
NITROGEN Fruit 3,600 - 9,000 ppm
TIN Fruit 22 ppm;
This means that rosehips are quite powerful chelating agents able to take up a number of poisons from the soil. In effect, the dog rose has the capability of being a bioremedial plant and when grown in pollution free soil may have a chelating action on us. In addition, the following activity was reported
Antidote (Aluminum);
Antidote (Cadmium);
Antidote (Lead);
