As shown above, Sea Buckthorn is the richest known natural source
of carotenoids, beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A), vitamin E, vitamin
K1, and beta-sitosterol, and an
outstanding source of a unique array of other health-promoting
natural components. This makes it a potent all-natural vitamin
and mineral supplement, as well as a versatile healing remedy.
Some of the most important bioactive components of Sea Buckthorn
oil are described below:
Carotenoids
are organic pigments occurring in brightly colored plants and
some types of algae and fungi. So far, more than 600 of them were
identified. Their molecular structure makes them very efficient
free radical scavengers, resulting in a powerful antioxidant effect.
Some carotenoids (for example, beta-carotene) fall into
the category of pro-vitamin A. From them, our body makes retinol
(vitamin A), which is a potent antioxidant and immune system booster
itself. In addition to beta-carotene, Sea Buckthorn oil
also contains other types of carotenoids such as alpha-carotene,
zeaxanthine, lycopene, and lutein. The total amount of carotenoids
in Sea Buckthorn berry oil is many times higher than in any other
natural carotenoid source.
Vitamin E,
a fat-soluble vitamin, protects vitamin A and essential fatty
acids from oxidation in the body cells and prevents breakdown
of body tissues. In Sea Buckthorn oil, vitamin E is present in
its most active, maximum potency form called d-alpha-tocopherol,
whereas a vast majority of vitamin E capsules sold as dietary
supplements contain synthetic forms of tocopherol (primarily dl-alpha-tocopherol
acetate), which are at best only half as potent as natural vitamin
E.
Vitamin E is capable of synergistically enhancing
the action of other biologically active substances. Being an excellent
antioxidant, it slows down lipid peroxidation, prevents accumulation
of toxins, plays an important role in the biosynthesis of proteins,
and provides a potent detoxifying effect. Together with vitamin
A, it strengthens the immune system and is believed to be an important
factor in the prevention of atherosclerosis.
Vitamin K1
(phylloquinone) is the most active form of fat-soluble vitamin
K, playing a vital role in regulating blood coagulation and ATF
synthesis. It is also involved in bone formation and repair. It
assists in converting glucose in the intestinal system to glycogen,
which can then be stored in the liver. There are some indications
that Vitamin K may also decrease the incidence and severity of
osteoporosis and slow down bone loss.
Beta-sitosterol
is one of a group of organic compounds found in plants that, alone
and in combination with similar plant sterols, reduces blood levels
of cholesterol.
The reduction of cholesterol levels appears to be because beta-sitosterol
blocks the absorption of cholesterol. It has also been effective
in reducing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia. In addition,
beta-sitosterol has been found to inhibit cancer cells
in vitro.
The fatty acid profile
of Sea Buckthorn berry oil is also quite remarkable. It contains
from 35 to 40 percent of a 16-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid
called palmitoleic acid,
also known as omega-7.
The only other known plant source of this rare omega-7 fatty acid
is macadamia nut oil, but Sea Buckthorn oil contains almost twice
as much (and many times as much as any other source of palmitoleic
acid, whether plant or animal). Palmitoleic acid is believed to
have a potent antiviral, antibacterial, and healing effect in
humans. It is also similar to lipids naturally occurring in skin
sebum, and is thought to provide important healing and anti-aging
benefits for problem skin. Sea Buckthorn oil has been successfully
used to treat such widespread skin problems as rosacea, eczema,
and acne.
Sea Buckthorn oil is unusually rich (1-2 percent)
in phospholipids (primarily lecithin and cephalin), which are
an important part of brain tissue and cell membranes, and are
believed to positively affect cholesterol and triglyceride levels
in the blood. Phospholipids are essential for all vital cell processes,
and are the most important membrane building compounds that occur
in human, animal and plant cells.
The outstanding health-promoting properties of Sea
Buckthorn and its unique oil have earned it a well-deserved reputation
of a powerful natural healer both in Asia and in Europe. There
are presently over 200 therapeutic and nutritional products made
from Sea Buckthorn worldwide. In addition to being used as a pharmaceutical
for healing burns and wounds, as well as ulcerative and inflammatory
disorders such as canker sores, esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and
colitis, it has also become a very popular daily supplement believed
to provide the following additional health benefits:
• protects cell membranes from the harmful effects
of chemical contaminants
• inhibits formation of atherosclerotic plaque and reduces cholesterol
• normalizes blood pressure and prevents arrhythmias
• acts as a powerful immune system booster
• improves the condition of hair and skin
• optimizes the activity of the pancreas
• reduces inflammation and promotes tissue regeneration

Introducing 100% Pure and Natural
Sea Buckthorn Oil from Siberian Tiger Naturals: the Best Sea Buckthorn
Oil Money Can Buy – GUARANTEED!
Inspired by the phenomenal success of our
extra virgin Siberian pine nut oil and Gold
of pleasure (wild flax) oil, we are proudly introducing the
newest addition to our unique lineup of therapeutic virgin plant
oils: the all-natural, premium quality Sea Buckthorn oil.
Our richly colored, extra thick and ultra-fresh
Sea Buckthorn oil comes from super-high-vitamin Russian varieties
of Sea Buckthorn organically grown in our own orchard high in
the Altai Mountains of
Russian Siberia. In the former USSR, these special varieties
of Sea Buckthorn were a closely guarded secret, because they were
developed as part of a special nutrition program for Soviet cosmonauts
[5]. Our Sea Buckthorn oil is the first internationally available
oil made from these special Sea Buckthorn varieties characterized
by the highest vitamin and nutrient content.
Most other brands of Sea Buckthorn oil currently
available in North America are made of berries harvested from
wild-growing Sea Buckthorn plants of inconsistent origin and nutritional
value. Because of very low yields of wild-growing Sea Buckthorn
plants, they are often overexploited and damaged during harvesting,
causing serious and sometimes irreversible environmental harm
to fragile mountain ecosystems.
On the contrary, our Sea Buckthorn oil is produced
from select, highest-grade Sea Buckthorn berries grown in full
conformity with USDA organic requirements in a specially designed,
eco-friendly Sea Buckthorn orchard. Our Sea Buckthorn berries
are picked at the peak of their biological activity and cold-processed
mechanically using our proprietary technology without any chemical
solvents, refined carrier oils, or carbon dioxide: nothing added,
nothing taken away. The resulting oil is truly unmatched in its
purity, potency, and overall quality.
Last, but not least, because we have a fully integrated
growing and production operation allowing us to keep our costs
under control, we are able to offer this exceptional oil to you
at a truly unique price: just $24.95 for a 1 oz. bottle (compare
at $35), and only $79.95 for a full-size 8 oz. bottle (compare
at $129)! This is an absolutely unbeatable price for 100% pure
and natural Sea Buckthorn oil unmatched in its quality and therapeutic
potency by any other Sea Buckthorn oil on the market. You will
not find a better Sea Buckthorn oil anywhere in the world for
any price – we guarantee it!

love our 100% natural Sea Buckthorn oil, it is fully covered by
our 100% Money-Back Guarantee. If you are not satisfied with it
for any reason – we will give you a full refund, no questions
