3 Benefits of Sea Buckthorn Powder

Sea buckthorn fruit is rich in biologically active substances and nutrients. Among them, flavonoids are important biologically active components. Sea Buckthorn Juice Powder is widely used in food and medicine, and has good development and utilization and development prospects.

Seabuckthorn flavonoids are mainly flavonol compounds and their derivatives mainly composed of isorhamnetin, quercetin and kaempferol. The average total flavonoid content of Mongolian seabuckthorn subspecies and Chinese seabuckthorn subspecies was 19-92, 62-266 mg/100g, respectively. Studies have shown that seabuckthorn flavonoids can regulate inflammation, obesity, and oxidative stress injury.

1. Antioxidant

Natural antioxidant effect is the main biological activity of seabuckthorn flavonoid extract. The main mechanism of the antioxidant effect is the free radical scavenging ability. The antioxidant component acts as a hydrogen donor to react with the free radical of the preparation to generate an inert compound and terminate the chain free radical reaction.

2. Anti-inflammatory activity

The anti-inflammatory activity of sea buckthorn is closely related to the flavonoids it contains. Seabuckthorn flavonoids can dose-dependently down-regulate the expression of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β, as well as the phosphorylation and degradation of p38 stress protein, amino-terminal kinase of stress-activated protein kinase bacteria, and NF-κBa inhibitory protein.

3. Improve obesity

Studies have shown that sea buckthorn flavone extract can inhibit the de novo synthesis of cholesterol and promote the conversion and efflux of cholesterol to bile acids. Seabuckthorn seed flavonoids can significantly reduce the body weight, serum triglyceride level, liver fat accumulation and abnormal increase of blood sugar level in obese mice, and have a significant effect on improving obesity (P<0.05).

Sea Buckthorn Juice Powder has many physiological functions and has become a research hotspot in the fields of medicine and food. There is still a lot of room for the practical application of active ingredients in sea buckthorn fruit and the development of related functional products. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply study the efficient extraction of various active components in sea buckthorn and the high-value utilization of resources.
