Description

The scientific name of sea buckthorn is Hippophae Rhamnoides. It is known to be a super food because not only is it enriched with all the omegas, i.e., 3, 6, and nine but it also has an abundance of omega 7. It has multiple benefits including boosting immunity, slowing the process of aging, making skin glow and host of other benefits that will be discussed later in the article. It has been used for medicinal purposes for over 12 centuries in China; presently, its use range from allopathy medicine to ayurvedic medicine.

Sea buckthorn juice is a very popular product being sold.  However, it does not have many of the properties of the oil.  While it is made from the sea buckthorn berry, it loses many of its nutrients when it is being manufactured.  Sea buckthorn berries are extremely acidic, thus, very sour and nearly impossible to consume on their own.  To make sea buckthorn juice, the berries are crushed, diluted with large amounts of water (usually 5:1 or more) and then sweetened with various forms of sweeteners or other juices.
