It is also referred to as "sea buckthorn", seabuckthorn, sandthorn or seaberry. it is largely confined to sea coasts where salt spray off the sea prevents other larger plants from out-competing. Sea Buckthorn is the richest known natural source of carotenoids, beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A), vitamin E, vitamin K1, and beta-sitosterol, and an outstanding source of a unique array of other health-promoting natural components. This makes it a potent all-natural vitamin and mineral supplement.
