The efficacy and function of seabuckthorn

Sea buckthorn actually has two functions, so when we understand the efficacy and effects of sea buckthorn, we should not only pay attention to the relatively rough effect of sea buckthorn on environmental protection in people's lives. In fact, it is of great help to people's health. I hope that after seeing sea buckthorn, we can understand its effects and play a health-preserving role.

Sea buckthorn has many functions and effects, among which we can see that it contains relatively rich vitamin C. Among them, the vitamin C content ranks first among various vegetables and fruits. The vitamin content in sea buckthorn is 20 times that of hawthorn, 2-3 times that of kiwi, 6 times that of orange, 200 times that of apple, and 80 times that of tomato. Moreover, the vitamin C contained in sea buckthorn is quite stable. In addition to vitamin C, vitamin E, and β-carotene, sea buckthorn also contains B vitamins. Sea buckthorn is a vitamin "source" plant. The physiological functions of β-carotene, in addition to the known functions of vitamin A after being converted into vitamin A, such as treating night blindness, bone hyperplasia, promoting the development of male and female germ cells, protecting epithelial cell growth and differentiation and preventing glandular atrophy, in recent years it has been found that β-carotene has a role in preventing lung cancer. It also has a preventive effect on cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, laryngeal cancer, oral cancer and nasal cancer. There are currently four types of vitamin E detected in seabuckthorn. Its physiological and pharmacological functions are mainly: protecting biological membranes, resisting free radicals and lipid peroxidation, improving immune function, promoting liver cell detoxification, lowering blood lipids and preventing and treating atherosclerosis, delaying aging, preventing and treating brown spots, protecting the nervous system and preventing and treating anemia.

The flavonoid components in sea buckthorn fruit and leaves that have been identified include: quercetin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol and its glycosides, myricetin, chlorogenic acid, hyaluronic acid, catechin, astragaloside, etc. Sea buckthorn juice contains 7 kinds of flavonoids, mainly isorhamnetin, isorhamnetin-3-β-D-glucoside, isorhamnetin-3-β-rutinoside and quercetin. The flavonoid compounds in sea buckthorn fruit mainly include anthocyanidins, catechins, flavonols and a small amount of flavanones. Isorhamnetin, quassin, camellia sinensis, etc. are separated from flavonols. Flavonoids and other phenolic compounds have the ability to enhance the body's tolerance, reduce the permeability of capillary walls, and prevent the destruction of vitamin C. The physiological effects of flavonoids on blood vessel walls can be achieved through the participation of vitamin C. Its activity can stabilize the vitamin C in the body and can also restore oxidized vitamin C. These substances also have the effects of inhibiting the development of atherosclerosis, lowering blood cholesterol levels, restoring hyperthyroidism to normal, and also have anti-inflammatory effects.

The effects and functions of sea buckthorn are not limited to those introduced above. Sea buckthorn also contains a large amount of organic acids and various amino acids, which have a good effect in improving people's immunity. I hope that when we understand the effects and functions of sea buckthorn, we can pay attention to these aspects.
