Recent studies highlight the untapped potential of sea buckthorn berries, rich in antioxidants and nutrients, for health benefits.

Sea buckthorn berries, rich in natural antioxidants, show promise in treating diabetes and obesity.
Researchers at Memorial University of Newfoundland highlight the berry's unique nutritional profile, including high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and polyphenols.
The plant, native to Canada, northern Europe, and Asia, has been underexplored in North America despite its potential health benefits.
Geographical factors influence the berry's polyphenolic profile, with certain compounds only found in berries grown in Newfoundland showing enhanced bioactivity.
Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind the berries' health benefits and to confirm their efficacy in vivo.
