Diabetes prevention

The oil can also aid in diabetes prevention, as demonstrated by a study where participants' fasting blood sugar levels decreased after consuming sea buckthorn.

Immunity enhancement

Its high flavonoid content boosts immunity, protecting against illnesses such as flu, herpes, and HIV.

Cancer treatment aid

Sea buckthorn's flavonoids may also contribute to cancer treatment by causing cytotoxic reactions in cancer cells.
