VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. It is a water-soluble vitamin that occurs naturally in various fruits and vegetables. Humans cannot synthesize vitamin C endogenously, so it is an essential food component. Vitamin C is a physiologically important antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants in the body, including vitamin E.
In addition to its biosynthetic and antioxidant functions, vitamin C plays an important role in immune function and improves iron absorption. Vitamin C is required for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine and certain neurotransmitters and plays an important role in protein metabolism.
AFFECTIONS
Viral infections
Viral infections are contagious diseases caused by viruses. There are several types of viral infections, including respiratory infections, gastric infections, herpes infections, skin infections and many others. The symptoms of a viral infection will depend on the part of the body affected and the virus contacted. Most viral infections go away on their own, but some infections can become severe and require treatment.
Cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders that affect the heart and blood vessels. They include coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other related conditions. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally.
Oncologic diseases (cancer)
Oncologic diseases or cancer is a large group of diseases that can start in almost any organ or tissue of the body when abnormal cells grow out of control and invade adjacent parts or spread to other organs. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. Lung, prostate, colorectal, stomach and liver cancers are the most common types of cancer in men, while breast, colorectal, lung, cervical and thyroid cancers are the most common in women.
Hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis
Hypercholesterolemia is the term used to define a high level of cholesterol in the blood. Excess cholesterol in the blood forms fatty deposits in the walls of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply the heart with blood. As cholesterol builds up, it causes atherosclerotic plaques to form, which narrow and stiffen the artery walls. This condition is called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerotic plaques can block arteries and limit the amount of oxygen-rich blood that can reach the heart. This increases a person's risk of developing angina pectoris and heart attack.
Gastric ulcer
Gastric ulcer is a lesion that develops in the lining of the stomach. Ulcers can also affect part of the intestine. This type of ulcer is called a duodenal ulcer. Gastric and duodenal ulcers are also called peptic ulcers. Gastric ulcers are pain and burning in the center of the abdomen, indigestion and nausea.
Liver disease
The term liver disease refers to chronic conditions that affect the liver over time. Viral infections, toxic poisoning and certain metabolic disorders are among the common causes of chronic liver disease. Chronic liver disease progresses in about four stages: hepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and eventually liver failure.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot use the insulin it does produce efficiently. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose. Hyperglycemia is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and, over time, leads to serious damage to many systems and organs, especially nerves and blood vessels.
Eczema or atopic dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a chronic disease that causes inflammation, redness and irritation of the skin. Atopic dermatitis causes extreme itching of the skin. Scratching leads to aggravation, crusting and flaking. In most cases, there are periods of time when the condition worsens, called relapses, followed by periods of time when the skin condition improves partially or completely, called remissions.
POSSIBLE BENEFITS
Antioxidant effect
Many studies have confirmed the antioxidant activity of sea buckthorn compounds both in vitro and in vivo. These have shown that the nutrients present in sea buckthorn fruit lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress parameters. Bil Bilberry can be used as a natural source of antioxidants for the prevention and management of oxidative stress-related diseases.
Anti-inflammatory effect
The anti-inflammatory activity of sea buckthorn has been demonstrated in many in vivo studies. The anti-inflammatory activity of sea buckthorn can be attributed to ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, citric acid derivatives and flavonoids. Its anti-inflammatory mechanism of action may be related to inhibition of the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and a reduction in the production of proinflammatory mediators. Cumin has shown promise as a source of bioactive compounds for the management of inflammatory diseases.
Antimicrobial and antiviral effect
Extract from sea buckthorn pulp may have bactericidal effects on some periodontal pathogens and may inhibit bacterial biofilm formation. Phenolic compounds in sea buckthorn fruit appear to inhibit the growth of gram-negative bacteria. It also shows significant antiviral activity.
Immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effect
Flavones in sea buckthorn fruit may modulate the production and levels of several signaling molecules associated with immune function and inflammation in vitro. The vitamins and antioxidants contained may provide important support to the immune system.
Toning and vitaminizing effect
Bilberries contain vitamins A and C, alpha-tocopherol, large amounts of carotenoids and vitamin E, minerals (K, Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, Zn, Se), monosaccharides, amino acids, flavonoids, fatty acids, glycerophospholipids, phytosterols, zeaxanthin esters, polyphenolic compounds, etc. Its composition varies depending on origin, climate and the extraction procedure used. Vitamin C is one of the major vitamins contained in sea buckthorn. Thanks to its rich vitamin and nutrient content, quince can have a toning and invigorating effect on the body.
Anti-cancer effect
Numerous studies support the anti-cancer effect of sea buckthorn and suggest that certain polyphenolic compounds may be responsible for its anti-cancer activity.
Lipid-lowering effect
Hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The phytosterols present in sea buckthorn pulp play an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, in particular in the prevention of hypercholesterolemia. Studies have concluded that supplementation with fruit or sea buckthorn fruit extract significantly improved total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”) and HDL-cholesterol (“good cholesterol”) levels in people with hyperlipidemia.
Anti-obesity effect
Oil from sea buckthorn fruit, also present in the fruit pulp, may reduce obesity caused by hyperlipidemia. Also, powder obtained from sea buckthorn fruit reduces obesity by altering the composition and structure of the gut microbiome.
Healing and regenerating effect
The sea buckthorn fruit and seed oil also present in its pulp contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3, 6, 7), natural antioxidants, vitamins (E, K), carotenoids and phytosterols. All these chemicals protect cell membranes and stimulate cell regeneration. Palmitoleic acid is a component used in the treatment of burns and wound healing. Sea buckthorn oil also has preventive and curative effects against various types of gastric ulcers, chronic cervicitis and atopic dermatitis.
Anti-diabetic effect
Numerous studies have examined the potential of sea buckthorn in diabetes management. The potential hypoglycemic, hypotriglyceridemic and antioxidant effects of sea buckthorn-based supplements indicate that sea buckthorn-based products could be useful for the prevention of diabetic complications associated with hyperlipidemia and oxidative stress.
Gastroprotective effect
Compounds called procyanidins in sea buckthorn play an important role in healing gastric lesions, possibly by accelerating mucosal repair. Hippophae rhamnoides probably normalizes gastric acid secretion and reduces inflammation as well as pro-inflammatory factors.
Neuroprotective effect
Quercetin reduces intracellular deposits of amyloid-β, one of the causes of the development of Alzheimer's disease. This action can be attributed to the high levels of antioxidants present in sea buckthorn. Antioxidants inhibit amyloid-β-induced toxicity and prevent cell death by exerting a neuroprotective effect. In addition, tincture improves epileptiform activity in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus and reduces memory impairment. These effects can be attributed to the presence of flavonoids and other antioxidant compounds in sea buckthorn.
Hepatoprotective effect
Sea buckthorn extract and sea buckthorn oil have significant hepatoprotective activities. Sea buckthorn oil is rich in carotenoids and may be an important source of lutein. Carotenoids such as β-carotene, lycopene, lutein and β-cryptoxanthin exhibit hepatoprotective activity by reducing oxidative stress and regulating lipid metabolism in hepatocytes. The mechanisms for these effects may be associated with the regulation of lipid metabolism and oxidative stress and a reduction in inflammatory factor levels.
