Anyone who lives at the coast will know what buckthorn is. Sometimes also known as sea buckthorn, the shrub Hippophae rhamnoides<\/em> \u2013 that is its official Latin name \u2013 naturally occurs on sandy and salty soils in central Asia and along the coastlines of northern and western Europe. It grows best on open sites in full sun and at the end of the summer produces large bunches of bright orange berries. These berries are super-healthy and good for both your eyes and skin.<\/p>\n

Buckthorn berries have been used for centuries in traditional Tibetan and Chinese medicine. Nowadays, more and more people in the West are also recognising the value of these juicy orange berries, which absorb every ray of summer sun, allowing them to produce large quantities of beneficial phytonutrients. The juice contains exceptionally high concentrations of vitamins C, E and K, as well as carotenoids, flavonoids and phytosterols. The flesh and the seeds are also rich in essential omega-3, 6, 7 and 9 fatty acids. Biotona Seabuckthorn juice<\/a> is a healthy, refreshing and slightly sour drink made from organically cultivated buckthorn berries, with no additives.<\/p>\n
