Benefits of Himalayan Sea Buckthorn
All health claims below are supported by peer-reviewed research listed at the end of this section.
Supports Skin Regeneration and Anti-Ageing: Sea Buckthorn is rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, carotenoids, phytosterols, and polyphenols, which contribute to its antioxidant activity and help slow down the signs of ageing by promoting skin regeneration and cellular repair.
Supports Heart Health: Sea Buckthorn has been shown in clinical studies to reduce total cholesterol and triglyceride levels — two key contributors to cardiovascular disease. This makes it a natural choice for supporting heart health and maintaining healthy blood lipid levels.
- Rich in Omega-7: Sea Buckthorn is one of the rare natural sources of Omega-7 fatty acids, crucial for maintaining healthy skin, supporting gut health, and improving cardiovascular wellness.
- High in Antioxidants: It contains significant levels of antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, which combat inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, and boost overall immunity.
- Supports Weight Loss: Due to its nutrient-dense, low-calorie profile, sea buckthorn juice can aid in weight management by enhancing metabolism and promoting satiety.
- Enhances Immunity: The high vitamin C content helps strengthen the immune system, aiding the body's natural defence against infections.
