Sea berry is changing how we approach natural beauty and wellness, from the inside out.
Sea buckthorn, also called sea berry or Siberian pineapple, was spotlighted not so long ago in a New York Post article, which delved into how this tiny fruit is making extraordinary waves for its health and beauty benefits.
If you’ve been on a quest to support your body, mind, and overall wellness naturally, you need look no further than sea buckthorn, one of the earth’s most powerful healing berries.
This seems like the perfect opportunity to talk about our favorite berry, the sea berry, AKA Sea Buckthorn, AKA Siberian Pineapple - highlight its wide-ranging profile of benefits, and show how Sibu stands at the forefront of it all, offering the highest concentration of omega-7 on the market today.
What Is Sea Berry?
Sea Berry, also known as Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is a small but hardy shrub that thrives in some of the world’s most rugged terrains and harsh environments – like the Himalayas, Siberia, and coastal Europe.
Easily recognized by its bright orange berries, sea buckthorn has been used for centuries in traditional medicine across both Asia and Europe. The western world has more recently caught on, and this has caused the popularity of sea berries to soar.
Today, we’re learning what other cultures have known for so long about sea buckthorn.
This includes its amazing ability to nourish, heal, and protect, both when used topically and when consumed.
Sea berries, which are about the size of a blueberry, are packed with anti-inflammatory polyphenols, vitamins include A, C, E, and K, and omega fatty acids, not the least of which is the rare but potent omega-7 fatty acid.
Omega-7: Mother Nature’s Answer to Radiant Health
Sea Berry is loaded with Omega-7. Omega-7 fatty acid, or more technically known as palmitoleic acid, is arguably the least known of the omega family, but definitely not the least powerful.
Omega-7 fatty acids play vital roles in the body, making it an important nutrient – although it is more rare, with few natural food sources available.
Omega-7 fatty acid differs from its omega-3 and omega-6 siblings due to the fact that it’s not considered an essential fatty acid.
This doesn’t mean that your body doesn’t need omega-7 fatty acids – in fact, the opposite is true.
Omega-7 is important for your health, but in reference to essential or non-essential fatty acids, its “non-essential” status means that the body is capable of producing it in small amounts and doesn’t need to rely solely on food sources and supplementation.
However, most people don’t produce enough omega-7 on their own to experience its full range of benefits. Supplementation with high-quality sea buckthorn can change that.
Our supplements have more Omega-7 than any comparable product in the world. We know, we conducted independent lab tests to prove it.
Top Benefits of Sea Berry, the “Siberian Miracle”
Skin Deep: Anti-Aging and Radiance with Sea Buckthorn
The global skincare industry is worth billions – literally. The estimated value of the global skincare industry is expected to be more than $120 billion by the end of 2025.
In addition, the #1 reason people visit a healthcare provider in the United States is dermatology.
This tells us that, on a global level, we care a lot about our skin.
While we’re collectively spending billions on products to cleanse, protect, and promote youthful skin, there’s an unsung hero that has been lingering in the background.
When it comes to skincare, sea buckthorn, or Siberian pineapple, is nothing short of a botanical miracle.
The vibrant color of the berries that instantly catches the eye gives us a clue to what’s contained inside. Nutrients like vitamins A, C, E, and K, along with a range of essential fatty acids, combine to form a true powerhouse that supports healthy skin, not just on the surface, but on a cellular level.
Starting with vitamin C, we have one of the most powerful antioxidants for skin health.
Vitamin C can help brighten the complexion, protect against environmental irritants and oxidative stress, and boost collagen production.
This is why vitamin C is one of the most recommended skin care ingredients for mature skin.
But what sets sea buckthorn apart for skincare is its omega-7 content. These rare fatty acids work wonders, like how they promote healthy skin hydration and elasticity, while supporting cellular regeneration.
This makes sea buckthorn a game-changer for anyone dealing with fine lines, dryness, irritated skin barriers, or inflammatory skin conditions.
A study referenced in the NY Post article suggests that sea berry oil may improve overall skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Of course, at Sibu, we’ve known this for years, but science is important, and so is understanding what’s going on beneath the surface.
In animal models, sea buckthorn was shown to enhance collagen synthesis, which is key to youthful-looking skin.
For those with inflammatory skin conditions, like acne, eczema, or psoriasis, the polyphenols and fatty acids in sea buckthorn provide anti-inflammatory properties that soothe without harsh chemicals.
Recap of Sea Berry’s Key Skin Benefits
Boosts collagen production for smoother, firmer, and more elastic skin
Offers deep hydration
Strengthens and protects the skin barrier
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Minimizes signs of aging
Soothes inflammatory skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis
Protects against environmental stress and oxidative damage – including damage from the sun’s UV rays
Mucous Membrane Support
Mucous membrane health is something that often gets overlooked in conversations about wellness. It’s one of those things that most of us just take for granted – until something goes wrong and it becomes very obvious how important mucous membrane health is.
Mucous membranes can be found in commonly known areas, like the eyes, nasal passages, and vaginal lining, and the overall urogenital system, but they also play important roles in digestive and lung health.
To say that it's important to prioritize mucosal health would be an understatement.
When mucous membranes become dry, irritated, inflamed, or compromised, the result is discomfort, and a lower natural defense against pathogens and allergens – which can lead to illness, and eventually a full cascade of systemic health issues.
Omega-7, the star nutrient in sea buckthorn, is extremely valuable in supporting the health of mucous membranes. It helps to hydrate the mucous membranes, supports tissue regeneration, and works hard to maintain their elasticity.
All of this is important for ensuring mucous membranes are able to serve their protective roles.
For anyone dealing with dry eyes, dry mouth, or vaginal dryness, omega-7 offers a natural, gentle, and non-invasive solution.
Recap of Sea Berry’s Key Benefits for Mucosal Health
Hydrates and restores mucosal linings
Soothes irritation
Calms irritation
Helps to strengthen mucosal barrier function
Reduces the entry of pathogens, allergens, and environmental irritants
Promotes elasticity and tissue regeneration
Provides comfort and protection, even during hormonal shifts or seasonal changes that can irritate or compromise mucous linings
Healthy Hearts and Circulation
Your heart works nonstop, and it deserves to be treated well and supported through living a healthy lifestyle. It’s common knowledge that nutrition and exercise are important for heart health, as are reducing stress, getting enough sleep, limiting alcohol, and not smoking.
Sometimes, even with all of these efforts, our heart health needs some extra support.
Plus, very few of us are perfect, which means we can use the extra help that sea buckthorn provides.
Sea berry offers an impressive range of antioxidants and omega-fatty acids is a combination that supports heart health in multiple ways.
Omega-3 and omega-6 patty acids are important for reducing inflammation and supporting healthy cholesterol levels, while omega-9 plays a role in improving lipid profiles.
But, of the omega family, it’s omega-7 that adds an extra layer of cardiovascular support.
Omega-7 is suggested to perform in many effective ways for heart health – from reducing arterial plaque build-up, to improving insulin sensitivity, and more.
The polyphenols in sea buckthorn also play a protective role. Polyphenols are plant-based antioxidants that are super stars when it comes to combating oxidative stress, which is one of the main culprits in the development of cardiovascular disease.
When polyphenols get to work neutralizing free radicals, they reduce the amount of cellular damage that can lead to inflammation and arterial stiffness.
In addition to all of this, sea buckthorn may also help support healthy circulation.
When blood is flowing more efficiently, it’s able to better deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. If you suffer from cold hands and feet or generally sluggish circulation, sea buckthorn may help increase circulation and improve your symptoms.
Recap of Sea Buckthorn’s Heart Health and Circulation Benefits
Supports healthy blood pressure
Helps to control cholesterol levels
Improves circulation
Reduces oxidative stress that causes inflammation in the arteries
Improves lipid balance
Immunity and Vitality
How often do you feel like your immune system is constantly being challenged?
You’re constantly facing exposure to pathogens, stress, pollution, and seasonal shifts in weather and climate that have your immune system on guard.
There are many ways to boost and support your gently and naturally, with sea buckthorn being one of them.
Sea buckthorn is loaded with immune-boosting nutrients, like vitamin C, vitamin E, flavonoids, and polyphenols.
One tiny berry is smaller than the average multivitamin but contains potent compounds that work to strengthen the body’s natural immune defenses.
Looking at just the vitamin C alone, sea berry contains roughly 12 times the amount of the immunity powerhouse vitamin as oranges. This is all the encouragement we need to skip the orange juice and reach for sea buckthorn instead.
Still, sea berry’s ability to boost the immune system doesn’t stop there.
Its polyphenol plant compounds are anti-inflammatory, and they help fight against pathogens, like viruses and bacteria.
The anti-inflammatory effects are important for boosting the body’s ability to respond to threats. When inflammation is present, especially chronic inflammation, it can make the body more susceptible to disease and actually begin to weaken the immune system that it was intended to protect.
Sea buckthorn helps to minimize this effect and restore balance without sending the immune system into overdrive.
Finally, let’s return to how omega-7 protects and restores mucous membranes. These are an absolutely essential part of the immune system, and are often the body’s first line of defense against airborne and surface pathogens.
Recap of Immune System Benefits of Sea Buckthorn
Potent vitamin C content supports healthy immune function
Vitamin E protects immune cells from oxidative damage
Polyphenols help to control inflammation
Protects and restores mucous membranes
All of this combined helps to keep you healthy and boost overall vitality and energy levels.
Blood Sugar and Metabolic Support
The ability to maintain stable blood sugar levels is central to maintaining energy, balancing moods, and supporting your long-term health.
While sea berry isn’t a magical cure-all for metabolic health, it may offer support for those managing blood sugar fluctuations, as well as for those who want to prevent metabolic issues in the future.
Like many of its other benefits, sea berry’s impact on blood sugar is multifaceted.
It’s the combination of antioxidants, fiber, and fatty acids that helps to reduce oxidative stress and improve insulin sensitivity.
The article in the New York Post made mention of a small study that suggests sea buckthorn may offer gentle support for reducing the frequency and severity of blood sugar fluctuations, which is key to managing diabetes, and potentially preventing other types of metabolic disorders.
There are also some studies that suggest omega-7 fatty acids may help reduce levels of C-reactive protein, which is a known marker of systemic inflammation that is often elevated in persons with metabolic syndrome.
But sea buckthorn doesn’t stop there. The potent vitamin C content is a key player in supporting adrenal health, and reducing overall cortisol levels. Both of these can have an impact on blood sugar regulation.
Adding sea berry supplements or puree to your daily healthy routine is a great way to support metabolic health, whether you’re managing diabetes, navigating pre-diabetes, or wanting to prevent metabolic disorders from affecting your life.
Recap of Sea Buckthorn Metabolic Benefits
Improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
Helps to regulate blood sugar, including post-meal blood sugar spikes
Helps to stabilize blood-sugar-related mood swings
Reduce inflammation that can contribute to metabolic disorders
Supports adrenal health
