Sea buckthorn contains a whole treasure trove of vitamins and minerals necessary for maintaining vitality and strong immunity.
Among them are B vitamins, vitamin C, which is found in sea buckthorn in higher concentration than in citrus fruits, as well as K and E.
The mineral composition of the berries is impressive in its variety: potassium, magnesium, iron, and many other elements are part of it.
Equally important, sea buckthorn is a source of antioxidants that play a key role in combating oxidative stress and preventing many diseases.
Additionally, this plant contains flavonoids and omega fatty acids that contribute to improving skin condition and overall well-being (sea buckthorn contains omega-7 fatty acids, rarely found in plant products).
The fruits of this plant are used not only as food but also in medicine and cosmetology, thanks to their unique healing properties.
