The holy mountain fruit
High in the mountains of China, where earth meets sky, grows a small pungent berry with an orange hue and a scent like pineapple. Revered as a “holy fruit,” seabuckthorn berries were prized by Chinese emperors for their restorative benefits.*
Legend holds that Genghis Khan fed these nutrition-packed berries to his soldiers and horses for strength before battle and to keep them healthy afterward. In fact, the herb’s genus name Hippophae is Latin for “shining horse.”*
A key player in traditional Chinese medicine, the seabuckthorn berry is as important today as she was centuries ago. In 1977, the fruit was incorporated into the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. In 1988, seabuckthorn sports drinks were designated the official beverage of Chinese athletes at the Seoul Olympic Games.
Popular as she is, the little orange berry is no easy find. In her Chinese home, she nearly always grows 10,000 feet above the sea, in an environment of extreme temperatures, monsoons, snowstorms and whipping winds. But that didn’t stop us.

What makes the seabuckthorn so holy
The seabuckthorn berry is no ordinary fruit. Scientists have discovered that packed inside her humble exterior are more than 190 bio-active substances.
Phytophenols
Naturally powerful antioxidants, phytophenols keep plants healthy. Berries, such as seabuckthorn, are known to be excellent sources of phytophenols.
Carotenoids
Within the seabuckthorn is another class of antioxidants called carotenoids—including beta-carotene, zeaxanthin and lycopene—that further tame unruly free radicals.*
Amino acids
The tart little berry also contains amino acids—the building blocks of protein that provide structure to all body tissues.*
Essential fatty acids
The only fruit in the world considered a rich source of essential fatty acids, seabuckthorn has an optimal 1:1 ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids. Plus, she contains the rare palmitoleic fatty acid (omega 7) which contributes to healthy membranes and smooth, glowing skin.*
Vitamins & minerals
Who knew so many vitamins could fit into one berry? Seabuckthorn’s got seven, including C, A, B-1, B-2, E, folic acid and B-12—plus an array of minerals.
Phytosterols
Perhaps most impressive in her list of nutritional credentials is the seabuckthorn berry’s naturally occurring phytosterols—plant constituents that support a healthy cardiovascular system.*
The yin and yang of it
According to traditional Chinese medicine, within each of us are the complementary and opposing forces of yin and yang. Yin—which is thought of as the organs—is associated with the female, while yang—which is thought of as the action of the organs—is associated with the male. Where yin is cold, yang is hot. Where yin is wet, yang is dry. And where yin is stasis, yang is movement.
Combat free radicals. A significant portion of your daily antioxidant needs are in just one ounce of delicious Seabuck•7 juice.
The basic tenet of this ancient system of well being is that health is achieved when yin and yang are balanced. And that’s exactly what seabuckthorn does. This pungent berry both tonifies the yin and strengthens the yang, promoting optimal balance.
