Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) is one of the world’s most nutritionally complete foods with more than 190 bioactive compounds. According to ancient Greek legend, sea buckthorn does wonders to the racehorses’ outer appearance, leading to its generic name Hippophae, that means “shiny horse”. The famous Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan credited Sea Buckthorn for giving his armies the incredible strength and endurance they needed to conquer the enemies.
