Sea buckthorn (''argousier'' in french) is tremendous. It has just about every nutrient the body needs! Vitamins, flavonoids, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, you name it! One of the most important, and unique, components of sea buckthorn is its impressive array of every essential fatty acid. It contains Omega 3, 6, and 9, as well as the rare Omega-7 which help tremendously with inflammation response. When combined, sea buckthorn offers a synergistic health blast to the body fortifying and beautifying from the inside-out. This tiny yellow-orange berry is approximately one third of the size of a blueberry, yet packs 12 times the amount of vitamin C as an orange. Being cultivated in various parts of the world from Russia to China, I already have 8 plants (2 males-6 females) around my house in Québec.
