Hippophae, the genus name of Sea Buckthorn, owes its roots to the Greek words "Hippo" (horse) and "Phaos" (to shine). Legend has it Alexander the Great's weary and malnourished troops found vitality and regained their lustrous coats after consuming this miracle plant when they returned from Persia.

Today, Sea Buckthorn, a Himalayan superfruit, is revered for its impressive nutritional profile, boasting over 190 bioactive nutrients. Filled with Omega 3, 6, 7, 9, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and powerful antioxidants, it is a powerhouse of health benefits. Of all these, the wonders of OPC(Proanthocyanidins) and Omega 7 truly stand out.

Sea Buckthorn shines as a potent antioxidant source, richer in OPC, Flavonoids, and Polyphenols than any known plant. Its ORAC value, a measure of antioxidant capacity, is 895,281 μmol TE/100g [1], outperforming grape seeds 9 times [2] and pine bark extract 1.7 times [3]. Clinical Trials suggest that Sea Buckthorn OPC can enhance stem cell release by nearly 40%, fostering mitochondrial health and nitric oxide levels [4][5]. It's your key to promoting anti-aging, longevity, and vitality.

Omega 7, a unique unsaturated fatty acid discovered by Harvard Medical School in 2008, is found in its highest known concentration in Sea Buckthorn. This fatty acid influences lipid metabolism in adipose tissue, potentially reducing triglycerides by 15%, LDL by 8%, and C-reactive protein by 44% while raising HDL by 15% [6]. It's also a crucial component of our skin and mucous membrane. It is clinically proven to enhance skin hydration by 49%, elasticity by 26%, reduce wrinkles by 15% [7], and alleviate menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness by 30% [8].

Harness the Sea Buckthorn's remarkable potential in your nutritional supplements today.
