Fruitrients Sea Buckthorn utilizes the whole fruit powder to provide the full spectrum of nutrients. Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a prominent shrub growing in mountainous regions of China and Russia. The shrub produces beautiful golden berries that offer a number of health benefits, including Vitamin C and Vitamin E, folic acid, carotenoids (including beta carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthine, which contribute to the vibrant sunset colors of the berries). Sea buckthorn berries also have valuable fatty acids, including: oleic acid (omega-9), palmitoleic acid (omega-7), palmitic acid and linoleic acid (omega-6), and linolenic acid (omega-3). In a June, 2011 segment on The Doctor Oz Show, Dr. Oz discussed the value of sea buckthorn berries, including a recent study focusing on the fatty acid Omega-7, which was given to lab animals in conjunction wiith a high calorie diet. Those animals that consumed sea buckthorn along with their high calorie diet did not gain an unhealthy amount of weight, compared to the control group. The study results conclude that the sea buckthorn berry signals the body to stop storing unnecessary fat, and attributed mainly to the prevalence of Omega-7. Dr. Oz also spoke about the benefits of the sea buckthorn berry in preventing constipation. When the lining of the intestinal tract unhealthy, it can become dry. Omega-7 fatty acids help to keep the lining of the intestinal tract lubricated by secreting mucus so that everything can pass through quickly and easily.
