Only the female plants produce the small, densely clustered, bright orange berries. Sea buckthorn has been used in Tibetan, Mongolian, and Russian herbal traditions for centuries and is one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Is Sea Buckthorn So Rich in Antioxidants?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSea buckthorn grows in extreme conditions: high altitude, intense UV radiation, cold temperatures, and drought. These stressors drive the plant to produce exceptionally high concentrations of protective antioxidant compounds. The berries contain vitamin C at 400 to 2,500mg per 100g of fresh berry (compared to approximately 50mg per 100g in oranges), a diverse carotenoid profile, flavonoids, and tocopherols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProvides antioxidants that help fight against cell damage caused by free radicals\u003c\/strong\u003e Health Canada licensed claim under NPN 80076146\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e500mg Hippophae rhamnoides fruit powder per capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole fruit powder | Complete berry antioxidant profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVitamin C\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 to 2,500mg per 100g fresh berry | Water-soluble antioxidant | Absent from sea buckthorn oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarotenoids\u003c\/strong\u003e Beta-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin, lutein | Fat-soluble antioxidants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavonoids\u003c\/strong\u003e Quercetin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol | Isorhamnetin is a marker compound unique to sea buckthorn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTocopherols (vitamin E)\u003c\/strong\u003e Fat-soluble antioxidants protecting cell membranes from lipid peroxidation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole fruit powder\u003c\/strong\u003e Retains water-soluble antioxidants absent from extracted sea buckthorn oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSource: Hippophae rhamnoides fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e Himalayan and Central Asian origin | Traditional Tibetan, Mongolian, and Russian herbal medicine use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegan capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e Hypromellose shell, no gelatin or animal derived ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHealth Canada licensed\u003c\/strong\u003e NPN 80076146 | Made in Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e120 vegan capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 day supply at 4 capsules per day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin C and Carotenoids\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C scavenges reactive oxygen species in aqueous cellular environments and regenerates oxidized vitamin E.
