May boost your immune system and support liver health

Your body may benefit from sea buckthorn oil's anti-infection properties. The high flavonoid concentration of the oil is mostly responsible for this action, according to experts. Flavonoids are advantageous plant chemicals that may improve immunity by raising resistance to disease. In a test-tube trial, sea buckthorn oil provided protection from herpes, HIV, and influenza viruses. Antioxidants found in sea buckthorn oil are also present in significant amounts and may help to protect your body from germs.

A healthy liver may benefit from sea buckthorn oil. The reason for this is that it has good fats, vitamin E, and carotenoids, all of which may protect liver cells from harm. In an earlier study, rats with liver injury showed a considerable improvement in indices of liver function when using sea buckthorn oil. Another earlier, 6-month trial found that taking 15 grams of sea buckthorn extract three times a day enhanced blood markers of liver function much more than receiving a placebo did in persons with cirrhosis, an advanced form of liver disease.
