5 health benefits of sea buckthorn

Pine nut oil enriched with sea buckthorn is a product that combines the beneficial properties of two Siberian superfoods. It is especially useful for women, including pregnant and lactating women, as well as the elderly people. Sea buckthorn is one of the richest berries in vitamins and microelements. In addition, it is one of the few berries that retains vitamin C after any processing, including thermal. Sea buckthorn improves digestion, is good for heart and immune system health, accelerates wound healing, and is an effective preventive agent for female diseases.

Sea buckthorn accelerates wound healing

In several experiments, this berry has shown a more noticeable healing effect than antibiotics. So, back in 2009, the healing effect of sea buckthorn was confirmed in rats. [1] A 2021 study found that using natural sea buckthorn cream is effective for humans as well. It promoted healing of burn wounds 4-7 days faster than the use of standard drugs. [3] External use of pine nut oil enriched with sea buckthorn helps to quickly get rid of abrasions, scratches, bruises, burns, and other skin damage. In addition, this oil is effective in psoriasis: it has been found to significantly reduce flaking and itching.

The benefits of sea buckthorn for the digestive tract

Sea buckthorn helps with gastritis and ulcers. This property is associated with a strong healing effect of the berry. Due to the high content of carotenoids and folic acid, sea buckthorn eliminates any damage to the mucous membranes, including the gastrointestinal tract. Scientists have also found that the protective and regenerative effect of sea buckthorn is related to the polysaccharides it contains. [3] Also, this berry is rich in potassium, the deficiency of which can lead to diseases of the secretory system of the gastrointestinal tract. Malic, citric, and tartaric acids stimulate digestion and the production of gastric juice. Sea buckthorn is a preventive agent for metabolic syndrome, thereby helping to maintain optimal weight. [4]

Benefits of sea buckthorn for heart health

Regular intake of sea buckthorn can reduce high blood pressure with the same effectiveness as special medications. Vitamins E and A strengthen blood vessels, making them more elastic and improve blood composition, thereby preventing thrombosis. Pine nut oil enriched with sea buckthorn has hypocholesterolemic, antiaggregatory, anti-inflammatory, and hypotensive cardioprotective effects.

Sea buckthorn strengthens the immune system

The berry has an antiviral effect and strengthens the immune system, so it can be used as a remedy for colds and flu. Sea buckthorn contains much more vitamin C than citrus fruits. It is also rich in a number of other substances useful for immunity, including vitamins of groups A, E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, E, PP, carotenoids and flavonoids that have anti-inflammatory properties.

Sea buckthorn is the best berry for women’s health

Pine nut oil enriched with sea buckthorn has a complex positive effect on the female body. It is associated with the following nutrients:

  • Carotenoids prevent the development of erosions of the internal genital organs. They help restore epithelial tissue.
  • Choline contributes to the removal of any toxins from the body. It is especially important for a woman during pregnancy.
  • Folic acid is the main vitamin for pregnant women. It is necessary for the proper development of the brain and peripheral nervous system of the fetus.
  • Iodine maintains hormonal balance and is needed for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland.

So, sea buckthorn is a completely natural replacement for any multivitamin complex. Pine nut oil enriched with sea buckthorn can be used externally and internally to support overall health.
