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]
