Seabuckthorn Juice is derived from the fruits of Hippophae rhamnoides (also called sea buckthorn or sallowthorn), a hardy shrub native to Europe and Asia that has been used in traditional Tibetan, Mongolian, and Russian medicine for centuries. The juice delivers an unusually complete nutritional profile: vitamin C (300–1,000 mg/100g), vitamin E, carotenoids (β-carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin), flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin), and the rare palmitoleic acid (omega-7, 30–40% of seed/pulp oil fatty acids). Documented bioactivities include potent antioxidant capacity, immune support, cardiovascular protection, mucosal membrane health (skin, eyes, GI tract), and anti-aging effects.
The juice has a characteristic tart-astringent flavor often blended with sweeter fruits. Produced by pressing whole berries, clarifying or keeping pulp, and pasteurizing for beverage applications. Meets FDA GRAS (self-affirmed), EU Novel Food (traditional use exemption), and ISO 22000 manufacturing standards.
