Sea buckthorn oil in capsules is a convenient way to take carotenoid-rich sea buckthorn oil without its vivid taste, smell and orange stains. VITATEKA Sea Buckthorn Oil (Hippophae) is a food supplement: cold-pressed sea buckthorn berry oil in gelatin capsules, 300 mg each, 100 per pack.

What is in one capsule

  • sea buckthorn oil — 300 mg;
  • capsule shell: gelatin, glycerine, water.

Sea buckthorn oil is naturally rich in unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and carotenoids (expressed as β-carotene) — it is the carotenoids that give the oil its deep orange-red colour. This is the product composition, not a promise of any effect.

Sea buckthorn — a northern berry with character

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a thorny shrub with bright orange berries that has long grown across Eurasia and is valued in northern cuisines and plant traditions. Sea buckthorn oil is a traditional natural product; in capsule form it is a food supplement, not a medicine, and it does not replace a varied and balanced diet. If you prefer berry formats, the catalogue offers sea buckthorn juice, nectar and jam, as well as dried berries and leaves.

Carotenoids and unsaturated fatty acids

The defining feature of sea buckthorn oil is its rich composition. It is high in unsaturated fatty acids and natural carotenoids, primarily β-carotene — a yellow-orange plant pigment. Unsaturated fatty acids are obtained by the body from food.

If you watch the balance of fats in your diet, the "Omega-3 and fatty acids" section may interest you, and for fans of vivid plant pigments and vitamins A/E there is the "Vitamin A, E" section.

Capsules, oil or berries — what is the difference

Sea buckthorn appears in the catalogue in several forms, and they are not interchangeable:

Who it may suit

  • those who want to take sea buckthorn oil but dislike its taste and orange marks;
  • those who prefer natural plant oils with a rich composition;
  • those who care for themselves and are interested in the "Skin, hair, nails" section, where sea buckthorn is a familiar guest.
