Sea Buckthorn: Hippophae Rhamnoides L.: Production and Utilization by Thomas S. C. Li
The fruit, seed and leaves contain an impressive array of antioxidant compounds. The concentration of vitamin C in the berries reaches 2500mg/100g depending on the species. Sea Buckthorn berries are also a rich source of vitamin E, carotenoids, flavonoids, sterols
including beta sitosterol; stanols, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and polar lipids.
The leaves are an equally rich source of important antioxidants including beta
carotene, vitamin E, flavonoids, catechins, elagic acid, ferulic acid, folic
acid and significant values of calcium, magnesium and potassium. The dried leaves
also provide an important source of protein at 24%. In addition to its carotenoid and vitamin E content, the oil from the Sea Buckthorn berry contains on average 35% of the rare and valuable palmitoleic acid (16:1n-7). This rare fatty acid is a component of skin fat and is known to support cell, tissue and wound healing. The seed oil is characterized by its high oleic acid content (17%) and its one to one ratio of omega 3 (alpha linolenic) and omega 6 (linoleic) at approximately 34% and 31% respectively. The relationship of equivalence between the two
omegas is critical because they self-check each other in a delicate balance
to regulate thousands of metabolic functions through prostaglandin pathways.
Nearly every biologic function is somehow interconnected with the delicate balance
between Omega-6 and Omega-3. Preparations from the fruit, seeds, leaves and bark of Sea Buckthorn have demonstrated great promise in the treatment of the mucous membranes including ulcers and gastro-intestinal disorders as well as vaginal problems. Additional studies have shown that Sea Buckthorn
oils and juice have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system and have
a cholesterol lowering activity. The oils are effective in the treatment of burns, bedsores and such skin conditions as dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, acne, psoriasis and the effects of sun damage. The powerful synergies and antioxidant properties of Sea Buckthorn fruit, leaves and oils support the immune system, eye health, are anti-senescent, reduce cholesterol, support cardiovascular health, muscle nourishment, strengthens cell walls, regulate endocrine function, regulate blood lipids, and have significant anti-inflammatory activity and pain reduction. It is generally accepted in the cosmetic industry that Sea Buckthorn oils have unique anti-aging properties and stimulate tissue regeneration. There is no doubt western women will cherish the numerous benefits offered by Sea Buckthorn. This ancient plant from the East with its powerful and healing synergies has much to contribute to this planet and its inhabitants. We can look forward to continued revelations of Sea Buckthorns many benefits through the increasing interest and development of its abundant and valuable properties.
