support function and structure of body. Here, Sea Buckthorn is the nutraceutical source which
have positive health impact and provide better health impact to individual. In this report, there is
discussion about the Sea buckthorn which is referred as the nutraceutical product which have
high positive impact on the individual health and are associated with taking care of the effective
health outcomes and help in preventing from chronic negative health impact.
MAIN BODY
According to Marietta Sayegh, (2014), nutraceutical products are the pharmaceutical
alternative which have high positive impact on the individual and have high impact to deal with
delivery better and effective response towards the chronic disease. This can also have considered
as the non-specific biological therapies that can promote the general wellbeing, prevent
malignant processes and control symptoms. This can also have referred as the medical drug
(Tsogtoo and et. al., 2020). There are high benefits of the nutraceuticals which can help to
improve the overall health, it can also help in boost energy and improve mental clarity with
enhancing sleep quality along with quantity, it can also help preventing and providing relief to
cardiovascular health issues. Cardiovascular disease is having high negative health impact on the
heart and blood vessels. There is different type of cardiovascular related disease which include
the coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease, rheumatic heart
disease, congenital heart disease, and deep vein thrombosis along with pulmonary embolism.
There are large number of people who are facing high blood pressure which is a common health
condition which eventually cause the health problem like heart disease. Here, Sea buckthorn oil
is a popular alternative remedy for the variety of ailments which include the rich in many
nutrients and have the potential to improve skin, heart and liver. It is also effective in providing
protection against the diabetes and immune system (Masoodi and et. al., 2020).

Background
Sea buckthorn oil is the derived from the sea buckthorn plants. This can help to work as
the dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and skin care products. Sea buckthorn grown
in UK wildly and across Russia, Europe, China and Himalayan region. Here, Sea buckthorn is
initially extracted through the process of mechanical cold pressing of seeds where oil is obtained
through the extraction of fruit pulp that contain about 8-12 % of oil. Here, it can lead to create
high positive impact on individual health (Eisinaitė and et. al., 2021). It can also help in aid for
heart through reducing the high blood pressure and help in improving the blood cholesterol level.
It also provides the protection against the blood clots which is also effective to reduce the health
risk of cardiovascular diseases. Through this, it can say that there is highly positive impact of Sea
buckthorn on the cardiovascular health issues. Its effective can lead to create high positive
impact on the people with poor heart health. It can also promote good heart health where its
antioxidants help to reduce the impact of the heart disease through reducing their risk factors and
also improve the blood pressure through reducing the blood clots and help in managing good
cholesterol levels. Here, Sea buckthorn can help in improving the blood circulation which can
help in facilitates the oxygenation to the skin and help to remove the excess toxins from the body
and penetrates through the epidermis (Du and et. al., 2021).
Hippophae rhomboids is also known as the Sea-buckthorn which is species of the
flowering plant with the family Elaeagnaceae and native of cold-temperate regions of Asia and
Europe. It is the one which includes the flavonoids and omega and fatty acids. It also includes
the palmitoleic acid which are found as the food sources and are the sources of unsaturated fatty
acid.
This is the name which includes the hyphenated for avoiding any type of confusion. This
can found in the central Asia as dry and sandy areas as the subalpine shrub. Here, sea buckthorn
fruits are bitter and sour in taste which can provide some aroma like pineapple. It is difficult in
harvesting the sea buckthorn fruit due to dense thorn arrangement within berries. Here, berries
can be harvested once or twice a year (Aaby and et. al., 2020). Here, fruit also contain the
flavonoids, procynanidins, phospholipids, sugars, like fructose, xylose and organic acids. Here,
bark and leaves of sea-buckthorn used to treat diarrhoea along with dermatological condition
which can applied topically and to soften the skin. This can also have the function of respiratory,
circulatory systems and alimentary system.

Sea buckthorn obtained and its development and active elements
According to Sumantra (2014), common sea buckthorn oil can have obtained through two
different parts which includes the exemplary along with patented method processing through
fresh sea buckthorn berries of seed oil, juice and pulp oil. Oil can be also obtained through the
extraction of cold pressing of fruits pulp which contain oil (Skalski and et. al., 2021). Sea
buckthorn includes the fruit which has the characterised through unique content of fatty acids
which are compared to another vegetable oil. This oil contains the rare palmitooleic acid which
can lead to component for the skin lipids along with stimulates regenerative processes within
wound healing and epidermis. It also has the skin functions that reduces the scars. Here, Gamma-
linolenic acid also help to improve the blood circulation that are effective in the supply of
nourishment along with oxygen to skin. Here, presence of linoleic acid which is the component
of intracellular cement which can lead to result in the stimulation of cellular regeneration and
help to regulates the skin sebaceous glands function (Asgary and et. al., 2018).
Sea buckthorn is highly effective in the cardiovascular disease. This can provide positive
health benefits through reducing the blood pressure and clear the blood flow within body which
can help in reducing the cardiovascular disease risk within large population. There is also need to
provide better impact on the delivery of effective health. There are large number of population
who are facing the heart related disease which includes hypertension and another cardiovascular
disease. Through using the Sea buckthorn, it can help to reduce the high blood pressure and help
to deal and prevent the risk factor which are associated with taking care of decrease in the risk of
edema formation. This is also beneficial to delivery better healthcare impact through improving
the blood circulation and allow to better flow of blood within individual body. Sea buckthorn can
have the potential to improve the blood circulation and help to reduce the risk factor which can
lead to cause the cardiovascular disease (Basera and et. al., 2022). It is effective in reducing the
risk of blood clot and help to manage the blood cholesterol level that can allow to get better and
effective response towards the delivery of better and effective cardiovascular health impact. It is
effective and allow to reduce and provide prevention through any type of cardiovascular disease.
Here, Sea buckthorn is having rich property in flavonoids along with omega-3,6,7 and 9 fatty
acids which have the strong effect on individual cardiovascular system. This can lead to create
high impact on the delivery of better and effective respect towards the delivery of better and
effective response towards the heart related diseases.

How sea buckthorn oil manages cardiovascular disease
According to Annie (2022), there are high benefits of the Sea buckthorn that can lead to
create the better health impact to the individual with cardiovascular disease. This is the one
which can lead to create positive response towards the reducing the blood pressure which
effectively help in managing the high blood pressure and provide prevention through the
hypertension (Kuhkheil and et. al., 2020). This can also help to improve the blood cholesterol
level that are associated with taking care and managing health improvement to individual with
high cholesterol. It has also positive health impact against the blood clots where it provides better
and improved blood circulation which are effective in dealing with better response and help in
reducing the risk of edema and prevent the risk of atherosclerosis. Sea buckthorn oil is effective
and allow to get better improvement in the blood circulation which can facilitate the oxygenation
of skin and remove the excess toxins from individual body. Here, sea buckthorn oil is effective in
preventing platelets from the clumping together and ensure about reducing the risk of heart
disease from the blood clots. This also help in cardio-protective that can have high impact on
improving the health and improve the heart related disease and provide safety from any type of
negative health impact which causes due to creating the situation of not having proper blood
pressure and there is issues in blood circulation that are associated with delivery cardiovascular
improvement (Kumar and et. al., 2021).
Efficacy, safety and health claim and its future improvement to meet the nutrition and health
regulation by governing bodies
According to Izabela (2017), there is high efficacy of Sea buckthorn that can provide high
health impact to the individual to improve their health which are associated with taking care
from the any type of cardiovascular disease. This is effective and can allow to get better response
towards the delivery of better response towards improving health. It also has high efficacy
towards fighting against the blood clot and help to improve the blood circulation with arteries. It
is effective and can allow to get better and effective response towards the delivery of better
health improvement and initiate the heart related impact that can influence individual to get
better and effective response towards cardiovascular disease. This is the one which can help to
get better response towards the negative health impact on the heart where sea buckthorn can have
high impact on the delivery of getting better care (Olas, 2018).

Sea buckthorn oil is safe at taken in the dietary form and can also be effective when this
can take as the medication for about six months. There is high benefit of use of sea buckthorn
which include the effective response towards the dealing with better and effective response that
are associated with safe consumption of sea buckthorn (Odgerel and et. al., 2021). There is some
of the side effect also been reported which includes the swelling, high blood pressure, palpations,
dizziness has been noted when it is used as the treatment for burning skin and can lead to rash.
There is another risk which are associated with using and consumption of sea buckthorn that is
can lead to create the risk of blood thinner that can lead to cause bleeding and influence the low
blood sugar within people with diabetes when it is take for lowering the blood sugar. It is also
not safe when sea buckthorn is use with the blood thinning drugs or related supplements which
can have higher risk of improving the risk of bleeding. Here, it may also interact with other
medication which are provided to treat gastrointestinal conditions like heart rhythm problems,
autoimmune disease. There is also need to ensure about the risk to pregnant women where there
is not much information that can includes to provide better and effective information about its
safety.
Investigation of sub buckthorn oil and related study
According to Markku (2006), investigation about the sea buckthorn oil which can provide
an effective influence over the cardiovascular disease (Petrescu-Mag and et. al., 2021). This is
the one in which it can lead to create high impact on the individual health which influence the
better blood circulation through influencing better impact on individual body. It have
hypertensive benefit in psycho chemical component like polyphenol vitamins and fatty acids.
This can use as a little evidence which can help to understand the cardiovascular and reflected of
benefit of sea buckthorn consumption on the cardiovascular. There are about 6 human study has
been found that can be effective and allow understanding the sea buckthorn berries impact on the
cardiovascular outcome which include lipid metabolism, inflammation and platelet aggregation.
It can also appear to has an inverse association between sea buckthorn consumption along with
cardiovascular risk factor. This can provide evidence to the result which are inconsistent and can
have a limitation in the study design to achieve the better conclusion. In this, there is need for the
human clinical trial in more effectively to establish a cardioprotective benefits of sea buckthorn
(Caro-Ordieres and et. al., 2020).

There are large number of human study which has been identify to provide the potential
health benefit of a sea buckthorn on various chronic disease along with infection. It has been
reported that it can extract decrease profilation of colon cancer and provide better health impact
on cardiovascular disease. It can classified as platelet agrigration, blood lipids and inflammation.
It has been identified that there is high effect of sea buckthorn on blood platelets which can
investigated in the 5 out of 6 clinical studies. It has been also investigated that always classified
to the risk for cardiovascular disease which are derived through the sea buckthorn berries.
Study about sea buckthorn on CVD
It can also lead to reduce the triglycerides and VLDL cholesterol level. There are 6
human study which has been found that provide the information related with cardiovascular
disease which includes the sea buckthorn (SB) consumption. Participants have the study is over
healthy and normal men and women. Here, it has been observed that participants where obese
and overweight which were separated in two different group on the basis of high and low risk of
cardiovascular disease (Yuan and et. al., 2021).
There were about more than 200 volunteers has been participated in each study where 12
and 14 healthy man where recruited for the study by Johansson and Suomela respectively.
Here, Eccleston has recruited 30 healthy volunteer where 20 has completed the intervention
Larmo has analyzed 77 overweight obese women to conduct the study in 2013 and 229 healthy
women and men.
There is study that includes different intervention from SB juice to frozen puree. It also
include the oil extraction and long with capsules in different form that can contain various
amount of vitamins and minerals. It can also includes phenolics and steroids with fatty acid and
other compound which can help to make the comparison between these studies (Ma and et. al.,
2018).
According to Cristiana (2014), Some of the experiments in which it includes the
identification of effectiveness of sea buckthorn's influence on the cardiovascular disease. It has
also been identified that there is high impact of on the individual cardiac vascular impact which
can help to provide better and positive health impact when it take it in consideration. It also
includes the consideration when it taken as a medication. It can also provide health positive
outcome to the individual in improving hypertension through reducing the high blood pressure. It
also help to maintain the blood circulation which is highly effective through creating

vasodilation and provide positive impact on the blood flow which can have positive impact to the
cardiovascular impact (Durazzo and et. al., 2021).
CONCLUSION
From above discussion, it can be concluded that SB has an important influence on
cardiovascular disease. This can have high impact on the patient with cardiovascular disease.
Here, it has been provide positive health impact and help to prevent a different cardiovascular
disease and also enable to provide positive health impact to treat of cardiovascular disease like
hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart attack and many more. These are some of the cardiovascular
disease that are highly effective and can have negative health impact that can lead to create
chronic health condition to individual. In this article, medication like SB is highly effective and
can influence to deliver positive health impact on the individual with cardiovascular disease or
related health issue. It can have impact on reducing the high blood pressure and improve blood
circulation with in body that can have positive impact on the blood flow to the heart that can help
to reduce the cases of cardiovascular disease or heart attack. It can also provide positive impact
in different other diseases. In this report, there is discussion about cardiovascular disease, and
hypertension which can be improved through using SB. There are various information that can
help to provide the effectiveness of sea buckthorn on the cardiovascular disease which include
different article and experiments that include the effectiveness of SB on the cardiovascular
disease. There is also discussion about chemical structure which include efficacy, safety and
future improvement. This can help to improve the effectiveness of SB on cardiovascular disease.
It also includes future development and active elements that can have an impact to reduce the
risk of cardiac muscular disease and provide better quality of life.
