For millennia, the sea buckthorn berry has been used for its healing properties. The small berry contains no less than 190 nutrients. Sea buckthorn is packed with vitamins, flavonoids, and the fatty acids omega 3, 6, 7, and 9.
Sea buckthorn contains the rare and important fatty acid omega 7
Omega 7 is rare and, apart from sea buckthorn, is only found naturally in macadamia nuts. It is also an endogenous fatty acid found primarily in the cell membranes of the skin and mucous membranes. Omega 7 is important for maintaining and stabilizing the cells of the skin and mucous membranes throughout the body. However, with increasing age and also due to stress, the body's own production of omega 7 decreases. Omega 7 has many beneficial properties, including:
- Moisturizes and counteracts dry mucous membranes
- Rebuilds skin, hair, and nails
- Improves digestion
- Takes care of bad cholesterol in the body, which can have good effects on the heart and blood vessels
Sea buckthorn is packed with vital vitamins
In addition, sea buckthorn contains many vital vitamins. For example, sea buckthorn has the highest content of vitamin E of all fruits and berries, while also containing more than 12 times as much vitamin C as an orange. The berry also contains more omega fats than both salmon and avocado and three times more vitamin A than carrots. In other words, calling sea buckthorn a super berry is no exaggeration.
