– has a thousand-year history in Tibetan
and Mongolian medicine. The berry is so
rich in benefits it has been called a “nutrient
bomb”!
Not only does sea buckthorn include
flavonoids, water and fat-soluble vitamins
and helpful plant lipids, it also contains
fatty acids, including Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9.
This amazing blend helps support the skin,
urinary tract organs and tissue, and gastric
mucous membranes in the mouth, stomach
and intestines. Mucous membranes are the
first line of defense for the digestive system,
and as a result, they’re often the first tissues
to be affected when things begin to go
wrong.
Oils from the pulp and seeds of sea
buckthorn showed protective and cura-
tive effects on four experimental models
of gastric ulcers. Interestingly, it doesn’t
seem that the fatty acid composition – so
important for tissue health on the inside
and outside of the body – is the sole reason
for its anti-ulcer effects: the other nutrients,
including beta-carotene, alpha-tocopherol,
and beta-sitosterone, may be contributing
just as much to the protection and healing.
When you look for these ingredients,
make sure the sea buckthorn extract you
find is rich in phytosterols, tocopherols and
carotenoids, just like the material used in
the studies. The oil should also be extracted
in a specific ratio of berry and seed oil,
containing Omega 3, 6, 7 and 9.
Keep in mind that omega-7 is found
only in the pulp of the sea buckthorn berry.
Oil from the seed alone has no omega-7.
And that is why the best sea buckthorn
supplement includes both seed and pulp oil
for the full benefits of the plant.
Additionally, look for a product that
uses an environmentally-friendly, solvent-
free supercritical CO2 extraction tech-
nology. You’ll know you’re getting the same
type of sea buckthorn oil that has been clini-
cally tested.
ADDITIONAL THINGS TO REMEMBER
ABOUT HEARTBURN AND GERD
Of course, if you have problems with
recurring heartburn or suspect that you
have GERD, there are other lifestyle choices
you must consider. If you smoke, stop. The
benefits will go beyond simply stopping
your heartburn, and you’ll be healthier and
feel better overall. Avoid those deep-fried
foods that can upset the stomach and cause
inflammation throughout the body. And,
consider eating smaller, more frequent whole
food meals to avoid filling up all at once.
By taking a different route and avoiding
acid-stopping OTC and prescription medi-
cines, being smart about your diet and
habits, and using high-quality D-limonene
and sea buckthorn ingredients, you’ll give
your body a chance to heal itself naturally.
It’s a solution that simply makes good sense.
