- Abstract
Elaeagnus rhamnoides (L.) A. Nelson, due to its unique chemical composition and wide range of pro-health properties, may prove helpful in the treatment of civilization diseases. Due to the presence of antioxidants (vitamin C, phenolic compounds, including phenolic acids and flavonoids), sea buckthorn exhibits antioxidant properties that reduce the risk of point mutations or inhibit apoptosis in cells exposed to oxidative stress. Moreover, the plant has hepatoprotective, cardioprotective and anti-carcinogenic properties. There are preparations available on the market from sea buckthorn berries (with a tart, bitter taste), seeds (in the form of oils) and leaves (in the form of herbal teas), which due to their rich chemical composition are ideally suited as an element supplementing the daily dose of demand on such compounds as micro- and macro-elements or vitamins.
