Sea Buckthorn For your health

Olga from Albany

Sea Buckthorn is a berry-filled bush from Europe and Central Asia that has long been used in traditional medicine to prevent aging, promote heart health, and clear up the skin.



Modern science has proven many of these benefits to be true, along with many others. The high abundance of antioxidant chemicals, vitamins, and flavonoids make sea buckthorn a great health product.



Vitamins and Minerals:

A – helps to maintain healthy teeth and bones (found in the berries)

B12 – helps with energy production and forming red blood cells (berries)

C – promotes wound healing, healthy teeth and gums (berries)

E – helps to form red blood cells (berries)

K – crucial for blood clotting to stop bleeding (berries)

Lycopene – an antioxidant chemical that protects DNA and proteins

Potassium – needed for fluid balance and muscle function

Calcium – promotes healthy bones, teeth, and keeps blood pressure constant

Magnesium – needed for making protein, immune system health
Iron – needed to carry oxygen around the body

Phosphorus – maintains body pH



Flavonoids:

Hippophaeosides (1-3) – (found in the leaves)
Hippophins (found in the seeds)
Catechin (leaves)

Epicatechin (leaves)

Gallocatechin (leaves)

Epigallocatechin (leaves)

Flavonoids have a high level of free radical scavenging activity, which contributes to sea buckthorn’s protection against oxidative stress, tumor growth, ulcers, inflammation, and stress-induced conditions. 


Fatty Acids:

Palmitic (found in the berries)

Oleitic (berries)
Linoleic (berries)

Linoleic acid and other fatty acids found in sea buckthorn oil secrete chemicals, such as carotenoids and tocopherols, that help ease inflammation and repair tissues such as in the eye.
