The positive effects of sea buckthorn oil

Sea buckthorn oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and important mineral substances such as magnesium, manganese, calcium and iron. Above all though, sea buckthorn berries have a high concentration of vitamin C which is actually around ten times as much as is contained in lemons. In opposition to many other vegetable foodstuffs, sea buckthorn is also rich in vitamin B₁₂ which is mainly found in meat. Therefore it is an ideal product for people who live on a vegetarian or vegan diet. Further useful substances contained are vitamin E and carotenoids.
