The Superberry of the Moment

I needed to comment on this since it is on everyone’s lips and I couldn’t have my faithful followers not knowing what this is all about. Although I have been using it in the practice for at least a year, this berry is finally seeing its place in the spotlight. And it is known as the Sea Buckthorn Berry.

It is found in the Tibetan Himalayas and is beneficial in the production of collagen because it contains the omega fatty acid: omega 7 which is really hard to find in nature. It also is abundant in the usual 3,6, and 9 but its claim to fame is the omega 7. I have been using it not so much for its collagen production as we have pycnogenol for that but rather for its use in autoimmune disorders.
