New polyphenol that rivals grape seed & pine bark: Sea Buckthorn Berry
Proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are the main polyphenols in the market. They were first discovered in pine bark in 1947. Sources with lower cost, such as grape seed and cranberry, were soon discovered over the 1970s. In the early 21st Century, scientists discovered that sea buckthorn berry, an ancient plant that is originated from the Himalayas and was praised as the “Miracle Fruit”, is an even better source of OPCs.
Higher concentration, better bioavailability, stronger antioxidant capability, as well as stability and solubility make sea buckthorn OPCs stand out. In particular, majority of the oligomers in sea buckthorn OPCs are dimers and trimers, leading to better antioxidant ability than monomers and polymers.
Sea buckthorn OPCs outperform pine bark and grape seed in analyses, such as Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), Superoxide Anion Radical (O₂⁻), Hydroxyl Radical (-OH), and inhibition of lipid peroxidation. The details of these studies can be accessed through the following link: Antioxidant Capacity of CyanthOx®. Apart from these, human clinical trials further support the health benefit of sea buckthorn OPCs for healthy aging, nutricosmetic, cardiovascular, eye, and gut health.
