SEA BUCKTHORN IMMUNOSASH JUICE

Seabuckthorn fruit and leaves are a very rich source of flavonoids. Flavonoids have been found to possess very strong antioxidant activity. It has been found that flavonoids improve the immunity of the body, lower the osmosis of the capillary wall prevent oxidation of Vitamin C, control arteriosclerosis, reduce cholesterol level, turn hyperthyroidism into euthyroidism, and eliminate inflammation. They have also been found effective against tumor and radiation damage. (In Mingyu et al 1998).

Anti-Viral Activities of Seabuckthorn Leaf Extract

Seabuckthorn leaves have been found to have a high content of polyphenols including tannins. A chemotherapeutic study of dry purified tannin fraction and individual components has revealed high activity in respect to a wide spectrum of viruses: Influenza viruses/A (H1N1, H2N2, H13N6, H3N2) and B/Singapore/222/79, Herpes Simplex Viruses(HSV), Strain L2, Paramyxovirus infections, adenoviruses type 2, cytomegalo viruses and other viruses pathogenic for human beings and animals. (Shipulina 1999)

Hepato Protection

Hydrolyzable tannins of seabuckthorn have shown significant anti-hepatotoxic action, inhibiting glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (Hikino et al 1985)

Seabuckthorn extract has considerable anti-fat liver effects.

Polyphenolic Compounds of Seabuckthorn

Polyphenolic compounds of Seabuckthorn possess an anti-oxidant activity. They inhibit the growth of tumours and exhibit a radioprotective action.

Neutralizes Free Radicals

Free radicals have also been implicated in the development of neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Seabuckthorn fruit and leaves are quite rich in flavonoids which neutralize these free radicals.

Carotenoids

Like Vitamin E, Carotenoids belong to the group of lipophilic antioxidants present in Lipoproteins. Carotenoids are well known for their wide distribution in the plant kingdom. Out of 600 Carotenoids known in nature 39 have been identified in seabuckthorn.

Wound Healing, Good Eyesight, Good Growth

Carotenoids improve metabolic normalization and regenerate the injured tissues. A deficiency of Carotenoids in human foods leads to poor growth, and weak eyesight, decreases intolerance to diseases and affects the mucus membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
Carotenoids are effective remedies against burns, frostbites, ulcers, and various gynecological problems. (Mashkovski 1997)

Stress

Carotenoids raise the physical and physiological capacity to work in stressful conditions.(Bogdanov et al 1986)

Cancers and Healthy Skin

Carotenoids are a major source of Vitamin A. Carotenoids particularly B-carotene and Cantaxathine act as anti-carcinogen and anti-swelling, therefore safeguarding from some kinds of skin cancers. (Kertangi etal 1984)

Effects on Cardiovascular Diseases

A number of studies have been carried out on the effects of flavonoids of Seabuckthorn on cardiovascular diseases, and reveal that they have a positive inotropic effect, improve cardiac performance, decrease peripheral resistance, and do not increase heart rate. Total flavonoids of Seabuckthorn have a curative effect on angina pectoris and also an anti-arrhythmic effect. Seabuckthorn extract has considerable anti-myocardial ischemic, hyperlipemi,a and anti-fat liver effects.
