Copper (Cu)




It is essential in all higher plants and animals. Copper is a mineral available in traceable amounts throughout the body incorporated into organic complexes, such as enzymes involved in brain function and the circulatory system. It is also extremely important for the development of the long bones, like the femur. Copper deficiency results in thin bones that fracture easily. Copper is an oxidant, yet in the body it has an antioxidant function by being a co-factor in the enzyme superoxide dismutase (S.O.D.). This enzyme protects the cells from the damage caused by free radicals and peroxides. Copper is also part of the protein, ceruloplasmin, found in the blood plasma. Ceruloplasmin regulates the level of certain hormones in the blood and is also required for the formation of red blood cells. Additionally, copper plays a part in energy production, melanin formation and fatty acid oxidation. Copper deficiency increases the risk of heart and circulatory problems, especially if there is also a selenium deficiency. Copper deficiency can also contribute to anaemia, bone diseases, nervous system disturbance and hair loss. In children, growth is inhibited and the bones may become brittle.



Nickel (Ni)



Nickel is found in highest concentrations in lung, kidney and some hormone-producing tissues.



Nickel deficiency has been linked to low blood glucose levels, abnormal bone growth, poor absorption of ferric iron, and altered metabolism of calcium, vitamin B-12 and energy nutrients.

铜(copper)




铜是人体健康不可缺少的微量营养素，对于血液、中枢神经和免疫系统，头发、皮肤和骨骼组织以及脑子和肝、心等内脏的发育和功能有重要影响。



缺铜时人体内各种血管与骨骼的脆性增加、脑组织萎缩，还可以引起白癜风及少白头等黑色素丢失症。铜在长骨,像股骨的成长中扮演极重要角色。



缺乏铜会引起瘦骨容易折断。铜虽是一个氧化剂,然而,它在体内和 抗氧化物岐化酶 (S.O.D.)则扮演抗氧的角色 。 抗氧化物岐化酶保护细胞被自由基和过氧化氢氧化。铜也是蛋白质中的一部分。铜也在能源生产、黑色素形成和氧化脂肪酸方面发挥了功用。缺乏铜会增加心脏和循环系统问题风险的,尤其是同时也缺乏硒。缺乏铜会促进贫血、骨骼疾病、神经系统紊乱和脱发。



镍 (Nickel)



镍发现高度集中在肺，肾脏和一些生产激素的组织。缺乏镍会引起低血糖水平、不正常骨骼增长,降低铁的吸收能力和改变新陈代谢钙、维生素B-12和能源营养素的能力。因此贫血病人血镍含量减少，而且铁吸收减少，镍有刺激造血功能的作用，人和动物补充镍后红细胞、血红素及白细胞增加。

Blood pressure - right or wrong it is still unknown

The following article is from Healthday News. Where to we go from here ? Higher Rate of Morning Heart Attacks Not Due to Blood Pressure: Study ShareretweetEmailPrint– Mon Apr 11, 7:08 pm ET MONDAY, April 11 (HealthDay News) -- Normal daily fluctuations in blood pressure aren't linked with the well-documented fact that people are more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke in the morning, a new study shows. It included 28 people without high blood pressure who underwent three types of sleep/wake cycle experiments designed to assess the connection between the internal body clock and the daily rise and fall in blood pressure. In all three experiments, the volunteers showed an internal daily blood pressure variation with a peak at about 9 p.m. and the lowest blood pressure occurring in the late morning. The researchers said the surprising finding that blood pressure is lowest in the morning means it's unlikely that the internal blood pressure cycle is connected to the increased risk of heart attack and stroke in the morning. The study was published April 7 in the journal Circulation. "We used three complementary experimental protocols and three different groups and found essentially the same results. That means we're dealing with something very robust," lead author Steven A. Shea, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said in a journal news release.

Vitamin K It is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in blood clotting. Vitamin K is known as the clotting vitamin, because without it blood would not clot. Some studies indicate that it helps in maintaining strong bones in the elderly. Individuals with vitamin K deficiency usually have an increased propensity to bruising and bleeding. Selenium (Se) Deficiency of Selenium can lead to Keshan disease, which is potentially fatal. Selenium deficiency also contributes (along with iodine deficiency) to Kashin-Beck disease. The primary symptom of Keshan disease is myocardial necrosis, leading to weakening of the heart. Kashin-Beck disease results in atrophy, degeneration and necrosis of cartilage tissue. Keshan disease also makes the body more susceptible to illness caused by other nutritional, biochemical, or infectious diseases. Selenium may help to prevent cancer by acting as an antioxidant or by enhancing immune activity. Selenium is absorbed fairly easily in the upper gastrointestinal system. Plant sources of selenium may be more bioavailable compared to animal sources. The some of the functions of Selenium are (a) it may be an important inhibitor of various types of cancer through induced “apoptosis” (programmed cell death) (b ) it is a natural antioxidant (c) it is necessary for production of prostaglandins and (d) with the help of vitamin E it promotes normal growth and development and also enhances the antioxidant effect of vitamin E.

Lutein Lutein is one form of carotenoid found in dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, plus various fruits and corn. Egg yolks are also sources of lutein. Our body cannot produce Lutein but has to rely on food. Lutein provides nutritional support to our eyes and skin. Studies suggest that a mixture of nutrients, including lutein, may provide supplemental antioxidant capacity to the skin, helping counteract free radical damage. Lutein may also help prevent or slow down atherosclerosis, the thickening of arteries, which is a major risk for cardiovascular disease. Lutein is an antioxidant that appears to quench or reduce harmful free radicals in various parts of the body. Free radicals can play a role in a variety of chronic diseases. Lutein is said to have help in reducing the risk of Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). AMD occurs when the fragile center of the retina–the macula–deteriorates due to aging and damage by free radical. The macula is a small area of the retina responsible for central vision, and high visual acuity. Poor macular health can cause oxidative stress within the retina, leading to a loss of central vision. Lutein also filters the high-energy, blue wavelengths of light from the visible-light spectrum by as much as 90%. Blue light, in both indoor lighting and sunlight, is believed to induce oxidative stress and possible free-radical damage in human organs exposed to light, such as the eyes and skin.

Lack of Vitamin E with other anti oxidants work in synergy will likely to cause the following sickness:- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive disease of the retina wherein the light-sensing cells in the central area of vision (the macula) stop working and eventually die. It is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving. AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail. AMD causes no pain. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of visual impairment and blindness in the United States and the developed world among people of 65 years of age and older. It has been shown that Vitamin E alone does not attentuate the development or progression of AMD. However, studies focusing on efficacy of Vitamin E combined with other antioxidants, like zinc and Vitamin C, indicate a protective effect against the onset and progression of AMD. Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer's disease is a wasting disease of the brain. An observational trial conducted by The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health found that when vitamin E is taken daily in large doses (400-1000IU) in combination with vitamin C (500-1000mg) the onset of Alzheimer's was reduced between 64 and 78%. Recent studies shown that Alzheimer's disease is no longer confined to elderly people but young ones as well from the age of 40 onwards and it is possible that with amount of free radicals around us most diseases will no longer be confined to elderly people. Parkinson Disease In May 2005, The Lancet Neurology published a study suggesting that vitamin E may help protect against Parkinson's disease. Individuals with moderate to high intakes of dietary vitamin E were found to have a lower risk of Parkinson's. Beta Carotene Carotenoids are a class of natural fat-soluble pigments found primarily in plants. Carotenoids are responsible for many of the red, orange, and yellow hues of plant leaves, fruits, and flowers. The most widely studied and well-understood nutritional role for carotenoids is their provitamin A activity because the body can convert them into retinol which is an active form of vitamin A. Deficiency of vitamin A is a major cause of premature death particularly among children. Carotenoids act as biological antioxidants, protecting cells and tissues from the damaging effects of free radicals and singlet oxygen. Carotenoids particularly beta-carotene, are also believed to enhance the function of the immune system. Researchers now believe that poor communication between cells may be one of the causes of the overgrowth of cells other than the activity of free radical, a condition which eventually leads to cancer. By promoting proper communication between cells, carotenoids may play a role in cancer prevention. Lack of carotenoids is found to be associated with chronic disease, including heart disease and various cancers. Buckwheat Buckwheat contains chiro-inositol which, in research, shows to be effective in lowering the symptoms of  type II Diabetes. According to a study conducted by John Hopkins Medical Institute, subjects who consumed the greatest amount of buckwheat had the lowest blood pressures. Buckwheat contains vitamin P, which contains the flavonoid rutin. Rutin is known for its effectiveness in reducing the cholesterol count in the blood. Rutin is also known to keep capillaries and arteries strong and flexible and so is beneficial for varicose vein problems which means that it can be helpful to maintain rigid blood vessels, and also can help people who bleed or bruise easily from damage.

What are the effects of nutrients on our health ? Nutrients can have marked effect on health. In the field of nutritional study, some nutrients are essential in maintaining the proper health and function of our bodies and without such nutrients our bodies systems will go astray and become malfunction, for instance, lack of vitamin C will produce scurvy disease and lack of vitamin B1 one will likely to get beriberi. Which are the best nutrients ? The naturally occurred nutrients are the best such as those derived from the plants as they can be readily absorbed by our bodies hence the term “bioavailability” which has been used to refer that the product can be readily absorbed by our bodies as compared with synthetic ones which usually are made from chemicals or inorganic materials. It is therefore most appropriate to know what are the essential nutrients which our bodies required and some of them are as stated below. Vitaman A- Vitamin A which plays an important role in vision, bone growth and formation of bones and teeth, repair of body tissues, reproduction, cell division, and cell differentiation (in which a cell becomes part of the brain, muscle, lungs, blood, or other specialized tissue.) Vitamin A helps to regulate the immune system, which in turn helps to prevent or fight off infections by making white blood cells destroy harmful bacteria and viruses. Vitamin A also may help lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) to fight infections more effectively. Vitamin A promotes healthy surface linings of the eyes and the respiratory, urinary, and intestinal tracts. When those linings break down, it becomes easier for bacteria to enter the body and cause infection. Vitamin A also helps the skin and mucous membranes function as a barrier to bacteria and viruses. It helps to reduce the black spot due to the process of aging. Vitamin A also helps to reduce free radical and any lack of Vitamin A will affect the functionality of the skin cells which will result in lack of elasticity, dryness, roughness and dullness of the skin. Vitamin A that is found in colorful fruits and vegetables is called provitamin A carotenoid. They can be made into retinol in the body. Common provitamin A carotenoids found in foods that come from plants are beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin Among these, beta-carotene is most efficiently made into retinol. Deficiency of vitamin A may lead to night blindness, dry eyes, rough skin, impaired bone growth and susceptibility to respiratory infections. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) Any excess of Vitamin B that is not used by our body will be discharged hence it is important that we do consume enough of Vitamin B everyday. Vitamin B1 helps to protect the nervous system and aids the function of heart, digestive system, stomach and intestine. Deficiency of Vitamin B1 will cause Beriberi which is a disease of the nervous system including weight loss, emotional disturbances, impaired sensory perception, weakness and pain in the limbs, irregular heartbeat and swelling of bodily tissues. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)- Deficiency of Vitamin B2 causes ariboflavinosi and the symptoms may include cracks in the lips, high sensitivity to sunlight, inflammation of the tongue, seborrheic dermatitis or pseudo-syphilis particularly affecting the scrotum or labia majora and the mouth, pharyngitis, hyperemia and edema of the pharyngeal and oral mucosa. Vitamin B2 helps to regenerate cells, assist the normal growth of skin, nails and hairs. Vitamin B2 also helps to improve vision and reduce tiredness of eyes. A German study found that previously it had been assumed that no plant contains a significant amount of vitamin B12, but the study revealed that Seabuckthorn not only contains all the vitamins B, its vitamin B12 content is as high as in liver. The clinical study shows that a lack of vitamin B12 causes skin disorders, anemia, digestive disorders, nerve damage, lack of appetite, irregular menstruation period, loss of memory, neurodegeneration and dysfunction of the mucous membranes. Vitamin E Vitamin E which is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is an antioxidant vitamin involved in the metabolism of all cells. It protects vitamin A and essential fatty acids from oxidation in the body cells and prevents breakdown of body tissues. It protects body cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of energy metabolism. Free radicals can damage cells and may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer. It also may protect against the development of cancers by enhancing immune function. Vitamin E can prevent the development of cancer and increase the immunity. Recent study conducted by medical and nutritional institute revealed that natural Vitamin E is more acceptable by our body than the synthetic one. Natural vitamin E exists in eight different forms or isomers, four tocopherols and four tocotrienols. All isomers have a chromanol ring, with ahydroxyl group which can donate a hydrogen atom to reduce free radicals and hydrophobic side chain which which allows for penetration into biological membranes. There is alpha, beta, gamma and delta form of both tocopherols and tocotrienols. Preliminary research has led to a widely held belief that vitamin E may help prevent or delay coronary heart disease. Researchers are fairly certain that oxidative modification of LDL cholesterol promotes blockages in coronary arteries that may lead to atherosclerosis and heart attacks. Vitamins E and other antioxidants remove wastes including peroxides, ailing and dead cells from blood thus avoiding damages to the artery walls. It is found that vitamin E may be important for prevention of neurodegeneration in humans [ aging and oxidation stress in neyurodegeneration- hiro Urano et.al]. Experiments also show that muscle lesions can be prevented with vitamin E [ Effect of Age and Dietary Fish on tocopherol status of C57BL/6Nia Mice- Simin Nikbin Meydani LIPIDS 33(11):1123-1129 (1998)] In 1960 a research institute discovered that a cell cultivate outside the body will die after undergoing about 60-70 subdivisions however if Vitamin E were to be added to it the cell will die after undergoing about 120-140 subdivisions. This means that the life expectancy is doubled ! It is therefore concluded that Vitamin E will delay the oxidation of cell which in turn will delay the process of aging. Vitamin E is the best anti-oxidant. Vitamin E helps to relieve cramp and stiffness of limbs.

A.S.Eidelnant of all-Russian Research Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants,Moscow,Russia in his seminar paper Seabuckthorn- Unique Medicinal and food plant it was, inter alia, reported that Seabuckthorn has high content of vitamins, polyphenols, isoprenoids and other biologically active compounds and these biologically active principals interact with each other to exhibit synergistic effects. The oil normalize lipid, protein and carbohydrate metabolism. He also found that Seabuckthorn oil is used in medicine in therapy of malignant tumors, in treatment of skin disorders, gynecological and gastric diseases, in normalizing the body immunity and that Seabuckthorn oil exhibits a high anti-microbial activity. He also concluded that Seabuckthorn oil are useful as antioxidant and anti-X-ray agents Aruna Agrawal* & Dr. G.P. Dubey a lecturer of the Department of Basic Principles, Faculty of Ayurveda, Institute of Medical Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi – 221 005 (India) in a paper entitled Multi-Dimentional application of Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoide) - a prevention and management strategies of age related psychosomatic deficits reported that Seabuckthorn oil was used in a clinical test and it was found that there was an improvement in clinical symptomatology and body immunity, with adaptogenic property, reduction in anxiety and depression scores including overall feeling of well being and that Seabuckthorn may be proposed as an remedial measure for the prevention and management of age related neuropsychophysiological deficits caused due to aging process. There was no any adverse effect even after its prolonged application. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India is currently set sight on Seabuckthorn to take on the harmful effects of nuclear radiation. The DRDO says that the plant found in the snowy peaks of Ladakh, is helpful in treating claims wounds, ulcers and high cholesterol and can be used for protection against ‘‘nuclear terrorism’’. Seabuckthorn was proclaimed as ‘‘wonder plant’’ or ‘‘Sanjivani Butti’’ by the research scientists of DRDO. Apart from developing edibles with the plant, experts said it has a potential of being used in as many as 200 products including medicines for treatment of memory loss, cholesterol, ulcers, cancers and as an anti-microbial to prevent drug resistance. DRDO is currently researching the potential radiation protection application of Seabuckthorn and its therapeutic value as a ‘‘Nutraceutical’’ (combination of nutrient and pharmaceutical). It was also found out that Seabuckthorn fruits and leaves are highly nutritious and have great pharmaceutical value and are a rich source of vitamin C, E, K caroteniods, flavonoids and phytosterols. Seabuckthorn is used in about two hundred industrial products including life saving drugs and herbs to treat cancer, heart ailments, ulcers, hepatic disorders, burns and brain disorders. Due to high contents of antioxidants, seabuckthorn oil is being extensively used as anti-inflammatory, anti bacterial, analgesic and for promotion of tissue regeneration Study performed by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Medical Plant Resource Development and Research Institute, Beijing, shows that Seabuckthorn Seed Oil has a 65.5% inhibition rate on gastric ulcers as compared to 55.2% for cimetidine 200mg and 0% for control group and another study performed by the Pathological & Physiological Study Group Of the Gansu Provincial Tumor Institute, China, concludes that Seabuckthorn Oil has definite anti-cancer activity. The experiment results showed the inhibiting rates of grafting tumors are all over 30% (p less than 0.05 or less than 0.01) when injected into the abdominal cavity three separate times. An article in Indian Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 19, No. 4, December, 2004, 113 entitled Studying Pharmacodynamics Using Nuclear Medicine Techniques: Evaluation of Seabuckthorn by Ravi Kashyap, Lilly Ganju, M.K.Chopra, Yogendra, Padwad of Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences (INMAS), Defence Institute of Physiology Allied Science (DIPAS) and Brig. S.K.Mazumdar Marg, Delhi-110054 reported that an inflammatory model of adjuvant induced arthritis in rats were created and Seabuckthorn was administered on the rats and it was concluded that Seabuckthorn extract has a significant anti-inflamatory activity which should be further evaluated to be used as an alternative approach for the treatement of arthritis. The study by the Department of Gastroenterology, Baogang Hospital, Shanghai Second Medical University, Shanghai 201900, China conducted the clinical test to find out the effect of Seabuckthorn on cirrhotic patients and the results shown that the serum levels of TNFalpha, IL-6, laminin and type IV collagen in group A who were taking orally the sea buckthorn extract, 15 g 3 times a day for 6 months were significantly higher than those in the control group. After a course of Seabuckthorn treatment, the serum levels of LN, HA, collagen types III and IV, total bile acid (TBA) decreased significantly as compared with those before and after treatment in the control group. The Seabuckthorn notably shortened the duration for normalization of amino transferases. Hence it was concluded that Seabuckthorn may be a hopeful drug for prevention and treatment of liver fibrosis. Whether it is sufficient to rely on Seabuckthorn alone as health supplement ? Though seabuckthorn has many beneficial effect to our health however by itself one cannot get the best out of it and also one will not be able to get the unexpected effect as that contained in Bio-Zen Life ! According to researchers nutrients must be taken in appropriate combination and proportion to produce the synergy effect so that the nutrients not only can be recycled but also to produce the mark effect on our health. Bio-Zen Life will unleash the unexpected result and help you to enjoy your life again as it contain not only the essential nutrients but also the right type of nutrients to produce the synergy effect, like Chinese medicine, the practitioners never prescribed a single herb but a combination of many herbs in the proportion as they deem proper, this is so in order to induce the synergy effect.

Traditionally Seabuckthorn has been used to treat various sickness as reported in many articles which are summarised as below:- Gastrointestinal effect The anti inflammatory and anti ulcer properties of b-sitosterol-b-D-glucosides, usorlic acid and betaine in the Seabuckthorn promotes ulcer healing, prevent the spread and inhibit erosion and the b- carotene, vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acid stimulate cell metabolism at site and repair injuries. It has remarkable inhibiting effects on gastric acid and abnormal increase of gastric proteinase thus keeping the ulcer from spreading. It is traditionally used in the treatment of gastric ulcers. Reduction of Cholesterol and heart disease Seabuckthorn oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, namely, Omega, 6 Omega 3 Omega-7 which are found to be extremely beneficial in improving and protecting against cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. Studies have shown that it can lower the total serum cholesterol and LDL and raise HDL. The richness of Vitamin E which is a strong antioxidant found in Seabuckthorn oilm helps to prevent oxidation of high density cholesterol in the serum thus inhibiting and reducing cholesterol settlement along the blood vessel wall. Seabuckthorn oil helps to decrease the total cholesterol and triglycerides and increase HDL according to the research done [ Yang Cunshe ( hippohae, 1995, vol8. No.1 pp 33-35)] Cancer Scientists and researchers have found out that flavonoids such as coumarins, isocoumarins, furocoumarins, quassin together with serotonin and phenols coupled with vitamins A, C and E produce integrative anticancer effects. B-carotene, flavonoids, polyphenols, terpene, alkaloid and trace elements have anticancer property. Together they exert a concerted effect that is far more potent than just the sum total of their individual effects [ Xu Mingyu (hippohae vol.7 No.4 pp 41-43)]. Seabuckthorn oil stimulates the immune functions and activities of globulin C, increases antibodies and enhances phagocytosis of macrophage thus strengthening the body's resistance to cancerous mutations. If Seabuckthorn oil were to be administered to a patient before and after chemotherapy or radiation or operation, it is found that it can assist the patient to recover remarkably well and reduce the suffering. It also reduces the adverse effects of nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, body weakness and uremia which are associated with chemotherapy or radiation or operation and this may be due to the fact that Seabuckthorn oil provides the patient with a rich and comprehensive supply of nutrients, fatty acids and trace elements that help to improve the condition and resistance level of the patient. Seabuckthorn oil seems to have the effect of improving blood circulation and removing stasis and eliminating waste, promoting tissue growth and avoiding infections at the site of the operation. Seabuckthorn oil increases the self repairing ability of the traumatized organs and cells, promotes the functions of the spleen and bone marrow and blood generation, and protects the heart, spleen, liver, kidney against the damaging effect of radiation. Liver The liver can be damaged by alcohol, paracetamol and carbon tetrachloride and experiments have shown that Seabuckthorn can minimize the damage to the liver. Seabuckthorn has a preventive property in respect of fatty liver. This is due to the fact that it increases the metabolism of cholesterol and fat and thus extensively improves liver fat metabolism disorders which in turn may reduce the incidence of cancer and arteriosclerosis. A clinical trial demonstrated that Seabuckthorn oil helped to normalize liver enzymes, serum bile acids and immune system markers involved in liver inflammation and degeneration and it also protects the liver from damaging effects caused by toxic chemicals as was revealed in laboratory studies. Anti-ageing and skin care Sitosterol improves mirco- circulation in the skin, phosphatide forms a protective film to prevent moisture loss and in the process it delays the aging process. Seabuckthorn oil has a tremendous effect on skin regeneration and it is especially useful in treating various conditions requiring enhanced cell regeneration, for example, burns scalds or eczema like damage. It is also effectively used to combats wrinkles, dryness and other symptoms of malnourished or prematurely aging of skin. Seabuckthorn also has healing effects without leaving scars, thus if Seabuckthorn can do wonder to the horses then it should be able to do wonder to the skin of human beings too. Biological studies suggest that the restorative action of the Seabuckthorn oil may be in part due to its high content of essential fatty acids (EFA), carotenes, tocopherols and phytosterols, which are all important for the maintenance of a healthy skin. Gynecological disorders The common gynecological disorder of many women are menstruation pain, menopausal syndromes, anaemia, cervical erosion etc. Research from Finland at the University of Turku Central Hospital shows that Seabuckthorn oil may provide excellent relief for vaginal dryness associated with menopause. Immune system Because of its high levels of omega-3 fatty acid, Seabuckthorn oil coupled with the richness in vitamin C and E helps to strengthen the immune system in the body through its effect on membrane phospholipids and the production of eicosanoids and cytokines. Thus it is beneficial in treating disorders in which the immune response is hyper stimulated such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multi sclerosis and systemic lupus. The muco polysaccharides, oligocyanine, carotenoid, alkaloid and terpene will help to enhance the body immunity and good result have also been shown against anti inflammation, reduction of pain, renewal of damaged tissue without leaving any scars in treating scalds, burns, cuts, decubitus ulcer, proriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Elimination of Free radicals Seabuckthorn seed oil is a pure natural antioxidant store. Its rich content of flavonoids, glucosides, phenols, terpenes, vitamins E, A, C, b-carotene, and trace elements including iron, zinc, selenium, manganese, etc., are all antioxidants with very low molecular weight to neutralize free radicals. It is found that more than 80 diseases are related to free radicals, the most common ones include stroke, myocardial infarction, infant anaemia, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, tumors, cataract, radiation damage, burns, brown spots, wrinkles, aging, arthritis, lung disease, nephritis, hepatitis, etc.
