Sea buckthorn has a good effect on myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, chronic heart dysfunction,

it also has a good effect on improving heart function and relieving chest tightness, palpitations, breath shortness, and other symptoms.

Clinically, sea buckthorn flavonoids, phenolic compounds, β-sitosterol, and betaine can

  • Reduce high blood pressure
  • Soften blood vessels
  • Prevent atherosclerosis
  • Reduce blood viscosity
  • Inhibit platelet aggregation
  • Improve blood circulation
  • Lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride
  • Lower low-density lipoprotein
  • Remove deposits from the blood vessel wall
  • Restore blood vessel elasticity
  • Increase coronary blood flow
  • Reduce myocardial oxygen consumption
  • Enhance heart function

Sea buckthorn flavonoids can

fight against arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia,
reduce myocardial infarct size,
relieve angina,
improve cardiac function by scavenging free radicals.

Effects on cerebrovascular diseases

Sea buckthorn has very good prevention and relief for ischemic cerebrovascular diseases: 

cerebral ischemia, thrombosis, infarction, and arteriosclerosis
dizziness,
hands and feet numbness,
slow movements,
weakness of limbs,
stiffness.

Sea buckthorn also has a good rehabilitation effect on symptoms such as hemiplegia, aphasia, and dementia.

Total flavonoids of sea buckthorn can directly remove superoxide radicals and hydroxyl radicals, which can

reduce high blood pressure,
lower high blood fat,
lower blood viscosity,
inhibit excessive platelet aggregation,
soften blood vessels,
improve blood circulation,
prevent arteriosclerosis,
improve blood and oxygen supply to the brain.

Effects on metabolism and immune system

Sea buckthorn flavonoids can modulate the immune system and regulate humoral and cellular immunity.

They also have anti-allergic effects and enhance the body’s disease resistance. Sea buckthorn flavonoids eliminate free radicals in the human body and improve the body’s immunity.

Therefore, it has a good effect on various immune system diseases, such as Immune dysfunction. In addition, sea buckthorn improves the body’s metabolic function.

Flavonoids also regulate thyroid function and restore hyperthyroidism.

Anti-inflammation, tissue regeneration promotion

Sea buckthorn oil extracted from sea buckthorn berries is rich in VE, carotene, carotenoids, β-sitosterol, unsaturated fatty acids, etc., which can promote human metabolism, help the recovery of damaged tissues, and alleviate the inflammation of subcutaneous tissue, and promote the ulcer healing.
