Benefits

Seabuckthorn contains fat soluble Vitamins that help burn off the fat. It also contains more Vitamin E than primrose or flaxseed oil.

Seabuckthorn Seed Oil Contains:

• Essential Fatty Acids - these fatty acids are not produced in the body and must be included in your diet. These fatty acids help regulate blood pressure, liver function, and breaking down cholesterol. They may help prevent heart disease and cancer in conjunction with the right diet and helps your body promote its own health.

• Omega 6 (Linoleic Acid)≈38% per 100 grams – This essential fatty acid works together with Omega 3 and is vital to ensure a healthy and LEAN body. Poor Linoleic Acid intake may result in hair loss, dry hair, and poor wound healing. However, Americans normally have a diet rich in Omega 6 already and enough of Omega 3, so a good balance of both is crucial. Seabuckthorn oil has an outstanding balance of both Omegas.

• Omega 3 (Linolenic Acid) ≈30% per 100 grams – Typically we as Americans do not get enough of this fatty acid. This is an “Essential” fatty acid popularly used for preventing & treating heart disease, reversing “hardening” of the blood vessels (also known as astherosclerosis, often the culprit in cause of heart attacks and strokes. Alpha-linolenic acid, on its own, is also used to treat “rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus, diabetes, renal disease, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease”.ALPHA-LINOLENIC ACID Overview Information 2009. www.webmd.com

• Omega 9 (Oleic Acid) ≈20% per 100 grams – your body does indeed make Omega 9, which helps reduce “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and raise HDL. Some have suggested that Omega 9′s are unnecessary as a supplement, but this Omega is present in Seabuckthorn oil. Excluding it will change the entire structure of the oil (in other words, you may also lose some of the Essential Omegas, like -3 and -6).

• Vitamin E ≈274 mg per 100 grams – Significant evidence shows that Vitamin E protects against heart disease and deterioration associated with aging. Vitamin E also plays an important role in foods – in vegetable oils they protect them from spoiling so that they act as a natural food preservative. It also protects Vitamin A in foods from becoming oxidized. More importantly, Vitamin E is a cancer fighter and protect DNA and cells from turning cancerous. Vitamin E improves blood glucose metabolism and regulates insulin activity, making it ideal for those with Diabetes.

• Alpha-Tocopherols ≈128 mg per 100 grams – this is actually a type of Vitamin E and exist naturally in foods. There are many Vitamin E supplements on the market but it is not the same as a natural existence within the food.

• Carotenoids ≈50-55 mg per 100 grams – Carotenoids are a group of antioxidant pigments (colors), some of which the body turn into Vitamin A, also known as precursors to Vitamin A, like bright orange beta0-carotene. However, not all carotenoids are turned into Vitamin A, such a Lycopene, Zeaxanthin, and Lutein, but are still extremely powerful antioxidants and cancer fighters and preventers. Studies suggest that carotenoids are extremely important for cancer prevention and to stop cancer recurrence.

• 106 bio-active components found in the oil – bioactive food components are responsible for changes in health status.

• Vitamin C≈695 mg / 100 grams = 12x greater than amount found in oranges! – Vitamin C is important because it fights inflammation and boosts your immune system. Vitamin C also helps your body process a diverse diet and fights viruses and infections.

• Amino Acids
• Flavonoids
• Dietary Minerals
• Beta-sistosterols (may reduce cholesterol)
