Description
The standardized extract of Sea Buckthorn berries (Hippophae rhamnoides), containing total flavonoids (principally isorhamnetin glycosides and quercetin), Vitamin C, and omega-7 fatty acids as the principal nutrients. Used in cardiovascular-support, skin-health, and superfruit-positioning dietary supplements.
Orange-brown to brown free-flowing powder. Water-soluble (flavonoid grade) or oily liquid (omega-7 grade).
We supply food-grade Sea Buckthorn Berry Flavonoids from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production. Organic-certified grades are available.
Common market grades include 5 percent Flavonoids (standard supplement grade), 10 percent Flavonoids (premium grade), 25 percent Flavonoids (high-end concentrated grade), Sea Buckthorn Berry Powder (whole-berry baseline), and Sea Buckthorn Oil with omega-7 palmitoleic acid (the separate oil-based product).

Introduction
Sea Buckthorn has been used in Tibetan, Mongolian, and Russian traditional medicine for over 1,000 years for cardiovascular, skin, and digestive complaints. The plant is a hardy shrub native to cold-climate mountain regions across Eurasia, producing bright orange berries with exceptional nutrient density.
Industrial production for the flavonoid extract proceeds by ethanol extraction of dried Sea Buckthorn berries, followed by purification and standardization. Sea Buckthorn oil is produced separately by cold-pressing or supercritical CO2 extraction of the berry pulp or seeds.
Recognized as a permitted food ingredient by the U.S. FDA, the European Food Safety Authority, and equivalent regulators worldwide.
The flavonoids have antioxidant and capillary-protective activities. The omega-7 palmitoleic acid is uniquely concentrated in Sea Buckthorn berry pulp oil and has clinical evidence for mucosal-health endpoints including dry-eye and metabolic markers.
Strategic positioning combines cardiovascular-support supplements (the flavonoid-driven segment), skin-health and beauty-from-within products (the omega-7-driven premium segment), and superfruit-positioning functional foods.
Where it is used
- Cardiovascular-support dietary supplements
- Skin-health and beauty-from-within supplements (a major commercial application leveraging the omega-7 content)
- Superfruit-positioning functional foods and beverages
- Traditional Tibetan and Mongolian medicine product formulations
- Cosmetic skincare: anti-aging and skin-barrier-support formulations
- Mucosal-health supplements: dry-eye and dry-mouth positioning (the omega-7 evidence base)
- Premium pet food: skin and coat positioning
