PRODUCED IN ROMANIA
Sea buckthorn oil is considered a precious elixir of health, obtained by cold-pressing the fruit and seeds of the sea buckthorn. This oil is extremely rich in fatty acids omega-3, omega-6, omega-7 and omega-9, being one of the few vegetable oils containing omega-7 naturally. These essential fatty acids contribute to healthy skin, support brain function and reduce inflammation in the body. The oil is also a valuable source of vitamin E and carotenoid, which strengthen the immune system and support cell regeneration. Internally, sea buckthorn oil is used to support digestive health - including gastritis and ulcers - and to regulate cholesterol levels. Externally, it is used in dermatological treatments for dry, irritated or eczematous skin. It is an ideal ally during periods of stress, intense exertion or prolonged exposure to aggressive environmental factors.

VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS
Total carotenoids
Carotenoids are yellow, orange or red pigments synthesized by plants. The most commonly found carotenoids in nature are alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin and lycopene[1][6]. The antioxidant activity of carotenoids is very important and may reduce the risk of developing chronic degenerative diseases[2].
Beta-carotene
Beta-carotene is an orange pigment found in certain fruits and vegetables. It is a precursor of vitamin A, which means that in the human body it is converted into vitamin A (retinol). Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin and mucous membranes, a well-functioning immune system and eye health[2][5].
Calcium
Calcium is an essential mineral for healthy bones and teeth, with most of the calcium in the body stored at this level. Calcium is also important for the muscular and nervous system, for the health of the cardiovascular system and in the synthesis of hormones involved in many functions of the human body[3].
Vitamin K
Vitamin K is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is important for blood clotting and bone health, wound healing, but it is also involved in other body functions[4].
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties, which means it has the ability to protect the body's cells from harmful free radicals in the environment. It is also an important nutrient for vision, the reproductive system, vascular health, brain and skin health[7].
Omega-3
Omega-3 is a group of essential fatty acids that play important roles in the human body. The most important omega-3 fatty acids are: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). Sufficient intake of omega-3 acids can help normal fetal development, protect eye health, contribute to cardiovascular health, reduce inflammation and improve mental health.
Omega-6
Omega-6 fatty acids, such as gamma-linolenic acid, are a group of essential unsaturated fatty acids. Omega-6 fatty acids are important for the normal growth and development of the body. The human body requires a healthy balance between omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-7
Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) is a monounsaturated fatty acid. Omega-7 may be effective in managing metabolic disorders and improving skin quality.
Omega-9
Omega-9 is a group of non-essential, unsaturated fatty acids. They have benefits in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, improving depressive symptoms and cognitive function.
POSSIBLE BENEFITS
Cholesterol-lowering and hypotensive effect
Supplementation with sea buckthorn oil can help normalize blood pressure in hypertensive people and significantly reduce total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels in people with hypercholesterolemia. This effect is attributed to the content of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids, as well as the presence of beta-carotene and vitamin E in sea buckthorn oil[2][8].
Hypoglycemic effect
Sea buckthorn oil may help reduce the risk of diabetes and help maintain normal blood glucose levels. Studies show that it may stimulate the translocation of GLUT4 to the plasma membrane, similar to insulin, which increases glucose clearance from the circulation and lowers blood glucose[3].
Immunostimulatory and immunomodulatory effect
Thanks to its flavonoid content, sea buckthorn oil can fortify the immune system, increasing resistance to diseases and infections. It may also regulate the diversity and composition of the intestinal flora and stimulate the production of immunoglobulins and cytokines, with an immunomodulatory role at both gut and systemic levels[4].
Antiviral effect
In vitro studies have shown that sea buckthorn oil exhibits antiviral activity against influenza and herpes viruses, as well as similar action against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria[1].
Regenerating and protective effect on the skin
Sea buckthorn oil contains carotenoids, vitamins, trace elements and essential fatty acids, has an antioxidant effect and promotes skin regeneration. It is effective in reducing skin dryness, cracking and irritation, and linoleic acid can reduce the manifestations of acne and psoriasis. The compounds in the oil may also protect against the harmful effects of UV radiation[7].
Hepatoprotective effect
Sea buckthorn oil can protect liver cells with omega fatty acids, vitamin E and carotenoids, reducing liver damage caused by toxins and fatty deposits in the liver[6].
Anticarcinogenic effect
The high content of antioxidants such as quercetin, carotenoids and vitamin E gives sea buckthorn oil its anticarcinogenic potential, offering protection against the growth of cancer cells[1].
Gastroprotective effect
Sea buckthorn oil may improve digestion and help prevent and manage gastritis and gastric ulcers, according to animal studies[1].
Beneficial in managing vaginal dryness
Taking sea buckthorn oil can reduce vaginal dryness and may be helpful in relieving menopausal symptoms[1].
Beneficial effect in managing dry eyes
Drinking sea buckthorn oil can alleviate dry eye symptoms by reducing the osmolarity of the tear film and the intensity of symptoms such as redness and burning sensation[1].
AFFECTIONS
Viral infections
Viral infections are contagious diseases caused by viruses, which can affect different parts of the body, from the respiratory tract to the skin or digestive system. Symptoms depend on the location and type of the virus, and most viral infections resolve spontaneously, but some can progress severely and may require medical treatment[1][10][13].
Cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular diseases are a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, valvular heart disease and atherosclerosis. They are the leading cause of death globally and are frequently associated with risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia and hypertension[2].
Liver disease
Chronic liver diseases include hepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver failure. Main causes include viral infections (hepatitis B, C, D), toxic intoxications, metabolic disorders and autoimmune diseases. The course of chronic liver disease is progressive, with liver function deteriorating over time[3].
Oncologic diseases (cancer)
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells that can invade adjacent tissues or spread to other organs. It is the second leading cause of death globally. The most common types of cancer differ between men and women, but include lung, colorectal, breast and prostate cancer[4].
Hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis
Hypercholesterolemia refers to elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood, especially LDL-cholesterol. Excess cholesterol promotes the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on artery walls, leading to atherosclerosis - the narrowing and stiffening of blood vessels, with increased risk of angina and heart attack[2].
Gastritis
Gastritis is inflammation of the lining of the stomach, which can be acute or chronic. Causes include infection with Helicobacter pylori, excessive alcohol consumption, irritant drugs (NSAIDs), stress or other associated diseases. Common symptoms are epigastric pain, nausea and bloating. Treatment aims to reduce gastric acidity and, if necessary, eradicate H. pylori infection[5][11].
Gastric ulcer
Gastric ulcer is a lesion of the lining of the stomach, which can also occur in the duodenum (duodenal ulcer). The main causes are H. pylori infection and prolonged use of NSAIDs. Symptoms include pain, epigastric burning and indigestion. Treatment involves eradicating the infection, reducing gastric acidity and protecting the mucosa[6].
Acne
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when hair follicles are blocked by sebum and dead skin cells, resulting in pimples. It can be influenced by hormonal factors, stress, genetic predisposition and lifestyle. Treatment varies from topical products to systemic therapies, depending on the severity[7].
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and the formation of plaques and scales on the skin. There is no complete cure, but treatments can relieve symptoms and slow disease progression. Local, systemic and phototherapy are used, depending on the severity[8].
Dry eye syndrome
Dry eye syndrome is a multifactorial condition characterized by eye discomfort, visual disturbances and tear film instability. It can be caused by tear deficiency, excessive evaporation or autoimmune diseases. Symptoms include burning, grittiness in the eyes, redness and blurred vision. Treatment aims to restore hydration and prevent complications[9][12][16].
