subject: Sea Buckthorn Berries In The North American Climate [print this page] Sea buckthorn was originally referred to by the ancient Greeks who fed their horses the leaves and young branches. As a result the horses' coat became shiny. Tibentans cherished the Himalayan tart berries for centuries, due to their tremendous nutrient rich applications.
The Sea buckthorn berries yield more than 190 nutritional ingredients and phyto-nutrients, all of which are bio available to the human anatomy. It is the only known plant source of Omega 3, 6, 7and 9 but also contains the following ingredients:
42 Lipids
Organic Acids
Amino Acids
Folic Acid
Tocopherols
Flavonoids
Phenols
Terpenes
Tannins
Vitamins A, B1, B2, C, D, K, and P
Omega 3, 6, 7 & 9 (Essential Fatty Acids or EFAs)
Sea buckthorn contains also 20 mineral elements. It has over 10 times more vitamin C than oranges and also has over 4 times more the antioxidant Super Oxide Dismutase than Ginseng. These fantastic superiorities make it the most valuable source of antioxidants. Although almonds are a good source of natural Vitamin E, the nutrient-filled berry has 7 times more than almonds.
The Indian Summer Sea Buckthorn berries demonstrate following benefits of the Omega fatty acids:
I.Omega 3 has shown positive development and increase in cognitive activities;
II.Omega 6 supports the generation of skin and hair, helps to maintain health of bones, regulates metabolism and assists with reproductive health;
III.Omega 7 is used to combat wrinkles, dryness, and prematurely aging skin. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbiological activity, relieves pain and promotes tissue regeneration. Its benefits extend to the mucus membranes that line the stomach/GI tract, upper respiratory tract and vagina;
IV.Omega 9 lowers cholesterol, reduces atherosclerosis, improves blood sugars, improves immune function and provides protection against certain types of cancer.
More than 100 studies of the qualities of these berries have documented very important health benefits:
Anti-inflammatory properties
Improved cardiovascular health
Skin and cellular rejuvenation
Antioxidant properties
Increased energy
Enhanced cognitive function
Pure Fruit Technologies (PFT), whose primary interest is the development and distribution of healthy exotic super fruit juice, researched and started the continual investigation into the sea buckthorn berry. In 2006, after ongoing reviews in collaboration with the University of Saskatchewan and the PFRA in Canada, PFT acquired 320 acres of land in central Saskatchewan for its research project to compare different sea buck species' quality.
Planting 3000 bushes in 2006 and 2007 in a totally organic chemical free soil, PFT learned that the berries can grow fairly easy in the North American climate. Out of the 6 known species and 12 subspecies, PFT found that the Indian Summer Sea Buckthorn demonstrated the best characteristics and benefits. This was due to its high levels of Omega Oils and resilient ability to produce in harsh conditions. Taking 3 years to produce in 2009, the first berries developed through the summer season, which were ready for harvest in late fall.
