Sea buckthorn berry - Latin name Hippophae rhamnoides - Clutches solid rock around raging rivers fed from ancient glaciers, at elevations as high as 14,000 feet. This thorny plant's fruit is a bright orange berry that glows bright - almost fluorescent in this nearly colorless world- and grows wild in the Himalayas.

Genghis Khan powered his army and their horses on sea Buckthorn for stamina and recovery from combat. The botanical name, Hippophae L. is derived from the Greek word "hippo," meaning horse. Sea Buckthorn was used to strengthen ancient Greek horses and restore their coats to a brilliant luster. And women throughout the ages have used sea Buckthorn to protect them from the ravages of the sun and the elements. Founded on tradition and now based on extensive scientific research, sea Buckthorn is one of the biggest functional whole food rediscoveries of the 21st century.

Written in the eighth century AD, the classic Tibetan medical book, Sibu Yidian, devotes thirty chapters to the medicinal and nutritional uses of Sea Buckthorn. And, perhaps most importantly, Sibu Yidian says that Sea Buckthorn atonifies yin and strengthens yang. In modern Western language, that means it creates balance. Sea Buckthorn - written about 1300 years ago - is now perhaps the most comprehensively researched berry in the world.

Other cultures have also found balance from Sea Buckthorn. In India, it is an important part of traditional Ayurveda. It is essential in the Chinese Pharmacopeia. In Mongolia, it has long been seen as a source for indefatigable life energy which is why, it is said, Genghis Khan and his armies drank the juice of the Sea Buckthorn.

Vitamin E

This is an essential nutrient that functions as an antioxidant in the human body. Vitamin E enhances immune response and regulates platelet aggregation.

Vitamin K

This is called coagulation Vitamin. It is required to make a substance called prothrombin which is then converted to thrombin. Thrombin, in turn, converts fibrinogen to fibrin which then creates the blood clot. Antioxidants

The process that causes a nail to rust or even a chopped apple to turn brown is called oxidation. It is the same process that occurs in one's body with each breath one takes. When free radicals attack, the result can vary from a small boil to mighty cancer or from slight irritation to asthma or some lifelong allergic disorder. As free radicals hit the tiny drops of LDL (Low-density Lipo Proteins) cholesterol in your blood it is oxidized. The cholesterol turns sticky and attaches to rough spots on the walls of arteries causing them to block and cause a heart attack if unchecked.

Sea Buckthorn is rich in anti-oxidants. Phytonutrients

Phytonutrients are a step beyond vitamins and minerals and are necessary to achieve good health. Sea Buckthorn is also rich in these phytonutrients such as flavonoids, carotenoids, catechin, and phenols.

Protein And Amino Acids

Sea Buckthorn is rich in proteins and amino acids. Amino acids can make millions of proteins by combining in various combinations. The vegetarian or non-vegetarian sources do not supply all the essential amino acids such as contained in Sea Buckthorn.

Minerals

Sea Buckthorn is rich in minerals such as Zinc, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Copper, & Manganese. Zinc: A critical role Zinc plays is the synthesis of the nucleic acids RNA & DNA which are essential for cell division, cell repair, and cell growth. It is also essential for bone health, enzyme function, proper immune function, and prostaglandin synthesis.

Copper: This helps the body absorb and use the iron to synthesize hemoglobin, to carry oxygen in the blood. It also plays a role in maintaining the integrity of myelin, the fatty substance that is a constituent of the covering of some nerves. Copper is also needed for taste sensitivity, the maturation of collagen, the formation of elastin and bone development. Manganese: works with dozens of different enzymes that facilitate processes throughout the body.
