• Tonify Yin
• Strengthen Yang
• Strengthen Spleen and Stomach*
• Promote Blood Circulation and Removes Blood Stasis*
• Induce Expectoration*
• Open Lungs

Sour Taste

As a berry, there is some sweetness to it but its main taste is sour. This is reflective of its vitamin C content  (1.2 mg per 1 gram). Estimates say that berries have ten to fifteen times the content of C as oranges. In a powdered form this is concentrated down even more.

The sour taste also points to the hepatoprotective nature how it supports the liver. Studies have shown an anti-fatty liver and anti-cirrhosis effect.^[9]*

It also appears to have an insulin regulating effect too and overall is helpful to digestion.^[10]*

Sea Buckthorn Dosage and Instructions

The recommended dosage is 1 to 2 tablespoons per day. With a 250 gram bag (over half a pound) this will last approximately 2-4 weeks.

Sea buckthorn should not be stimulating so it can be taken at night. That being said everyone is different so a few people may find it to be stimulating.

This can be taken straight (pucker up!) or mixed easily into water or any other drink or smoothie.

Wildcrafted and certified Organic. In order to turn the juice into powder a small amount (around 8%) of maltodextrin (derived from organic, non-gmo rice) is used.

Contraindications:

As a berry, sea buckthorn is relatively safe. Clinical testing has not been done with pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Sea buckthorn may slow blood clotting and thus should not be taken in combination with drugs that do this or for those in surgery.
