Herbs of Gold Sea Buckthorn Oil 60 capsules

• Sea buckthorn has a long history of medicinal use in Asia, India and Europe. In modern times, the oil of Sea buckthorn is popularly used cosmetically for skin and nutritionally in supplements for its ample source of health-promoting constituents. • Its genus name, Hippophae, originates from the Greek words, hippo, which means horse, and phasos, meaning to shine, due to the fact that its leaves and young branches were used as fodder for racehorses to improve the shininess of their coat1 . • Sea buckthorn oil is derived from the fruit or seed and is highly nutritional, enriched with unsaturated fatty acids such as omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid), omega-6 (linoleic acid), omega-7 (palmitoleic) and omega-9 (oleic acid) as well as vitamin E (tocotrienols and tocopherols), carotenoids (betacarotene, lycopene, lutein and zeaxanthin), plant sterols (campsterol and beta-sitosterol) and flavonoids (quercetin and kaempferol), all of which work synergistically to exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects2 . • The bioactive constituent profiles of the fruit and seed oil vary considerably. The seed oil is particularly rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids whereas the fruit oil is predominantly high in carotenoids and omega-7, a rare fatty acid found in nature. Sea buckthorn contains the highest amount of omega-7 of any plant in nature and is found exclusively in the fruit3 . • Herbs of Gold Sea Buckthorn oil combines fruit and seed oil to capture its comprehensive nutritional profile and align with compositions used in clinical studies to ensure potency and efficacy.
