Contemporary researches are indicatives of its various therapeutic properties due to its constituent chemistry such as flavonoids, carotenoides, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins , minerals, Omega 3, 6, 9 and rarest Omega 7 and about 190 bioactive compounds. We can expect many scientific evidence supporting the benefits of the sea buckthorn to maintain health and to cure the diseases by rationalizing it in proper Ayurvedic dosages form for this plant.
