Sea buckthorn available at Alternative Health Food Store

Dr. Oz calls Sea Buckthorn the “Miracle Berry” and claims it will improve the look of your skin and help you lose weight (See for yourself at http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/new-miracle-berry-pt-1).

Not much larger than a pea, the Sea Buckthorn berry grows on a shrubby, thorny plant. For centuries, Asian cultures have traditionally relied on Sea Buckthorn for its nutritional benefits. While the benefits of Sea Buckthorn on the skin has been widely documented, it also has an extensive history of traditional use in Tibet and Mongolia for the body’s sensitive internal organs—in particular the mucous membranes that line the stomach/GI tract, upper respiratory tract, and vagina.

Sea Buckthorn is a powerhouse of Vitamin C, containing more than TEN TIMES the Vitamin C of oranges. It is also a source of Omegas 3, 5, 7, and 9, extremely rare to find in a plant-based source. In addition, Sea Buckthorn is unparrelled among plants for its carotenoids (for Vitamin A), tocopherols (Vitamin E), and phylloquinone (Vitamin K). In all, more than 250 biologically active compounds have been identified in the Sea Buckthorn plant.
