What is seabuckthorn flavone?

Seabuckthorn flavone is a natural phytochemical extracted from seabuckthorn fruit. The physical properties of seabuckthorn flavonoids are yellow or brown fine powder. Seabuckthorn flavone is a class of active substances in seabuckthorn. Seabuckthorn contains 36 kinds of seabuckthorn flavonoid active substances such as isorhamnetin, quercetin, rutin, kaempferol, proanthocyanidins, catechins, flavonols, etc. It is soluble in solvents such as methanol, ethanol and acetone. Seabuckthorn flavonoid glycoside compounds are also easily soluble in hot water, and its aglycone compounds are difficult to dissolve in petroleum ether solvents; the solubility in acidic water decreases with the increase of acid concentration, but when the pH value is less than 3, the solubility changes again due to the formation of molten salt and hydrolysis. Seabuckthorn flavonoids are stable in nature, easily soluble in water, and have a variety of physiological activities and pharmacological effects, including lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, and anti-atherosclerosis.

What are the functions of seabuckthorn flavone?

Lowering blood lipids

Seabuckthorn flavone can be used as antioxidants in the body to inhibit the formation of oxidized low-density lipoprotein, increase the synthesis of high-density lipoprotein, and enhance the activity of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase, thereby reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and increasing high-density lipoprotein, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering blood lipids. It can also comprehensively control the absorption of exogenous lipids and inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol and triglycerides.

Anti-oxidation and free radical scavenging

Seabuckthorn flavone is natural antioxidants that can scavenge free radicals in the body and protect cells from oxidative damage, thereby maintaining the health of the body.

Anti-inflammatory

It has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, which can promote the disappearance of local skin inflammation and help relieve discomfort symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain caused by inflammation. At the same time, it can also promote the regeneration of skin cells, which is helpful for the recovery of the skin.

Anti-atherosclerosis

In general, there are two reasons for the formation of atherosclerosis: one is damage to the blood vessel wall; the other is high blood lipids. As an antioxidant in the body, seabuckthorn flavonoids can remove free radicals in the blood and reduce the erosion and damage of free radicals to the blood vessel wall; at the same time, seabuckthorn flavonoids can reduce the synthesis of low-density lipoprotein and increase the synthesis of high-density lipoprotein, thereby reducing blood lipids. Through a two-pronged approach, atherosclerosis can be effectively prevented.

Clearing blood vessels

Seabuckthorn flavone can decompose lipids deposited on the blood vessel wall, prevent cholesterol from combining with arterial elastin to cause the blood vessel wall to become thicker and brittle, and make the blood vessels more unobstructed.

Repairing vascular endothelial cells

Seabuckthorn flavone as an antioxidant in the body can remove free radicals in the blood, reduce the erosion and damage of free radicals to the blood vessel wall, increase the activity of vascular endothelial cells, and reduce the apoptosis rate of endothelial cells.

Anti-myocardial ischemia

Seabuckthorn flavone can prevent and dissolve blood clots, increase coronary blood flow, and reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, thereby achieving the purpose of anti-myocardial ischemia.

Preventing myocardial sclerosis

It can significantly increase the blood oxygen content of the heart, prevent the myocardium from atrophy due to insufficient blood supply, and then frequently cause myocardial infarction, form scars, and cause myocardial sclerosis.

Relieve angina pectoris

It can enhance the contractile and pump functions of the myocardium, reduce peripheral resistance, increase vascular elasticity, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, enhance cardiac function, resist arrhythmia, resist premature beats, reduce the area of myocardial infarction, and relieve angina pectoris.

Improve symptoms such as arrhythmia

Seabuckthorn flavone can counteract the slowing of heart rate and weakening of myocardial contractility caused by hypoxia, increase the threshold of ventricular fibrillation, delay atrioventricular conduction, and have a significant improvement effect on arrhythmia and premature beats. It also has a good therapeutic effect on myocarditis complicated with heart failure.

Clearing blood stasis in the brain

Seabuckthorn flavone can significantly increase cerebral blood flow, reduce cerebral vascular resistance, improve cerebral circulation, and protect the brain from hypoxic damage caused by ischemia.

Promote blood circulation

Seabuckthorn flavone can promote blood circulation in the body, improve the situation of insufficient local blood supply, and help relieve discomfort symptoms such as pain and chills caused by blood vessel blockage. At the same time, it can also promote metabolism and is beneficial to physical health.

What effects does seabuckthorn flavone have on the skin?

Antioxidant

As a natural antioxidant, Seabuckthorn flavone can remove free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative stress

Damage to the skin. This antioxidant effect helps to delay skin aging and keep the skin young. By reducing the generation of free radicals, seabuckthorn flavonoids can also improve the overall condition of the skin, making it healthier and more lustrous.

Promote skin cell regeneration

Seabuckthorn flavone can promote the regeneration and repair of skin cells, and help improve various problems caused by skin damage

or aging, such as wrinkles, spots, etc. This regeneration effect not only helps to restore the elasticity and firmness of the skin, but also makes the skin smoother and more delicate.

Anti-inflammatory

Seabuckthorn flavone have a certain anti-inflammatory effect, which can reduce the discomfort symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain caused by skin inflammation. This has a positive effect on alleviating skin inflammation problems caused by acne, allergies, etc. By reducing inflammatory reactions, seabuckthorn flavonoids can also promote rapid recovery of the skin.

Whitening effect

Certain components in Seabuckthorn flavone can regulate the metabolism of melanin and reduce pigmentation, thereby achieving a whitening effect. This is helpful for improving uneven skin tone, dull skin and other problems.

Moisturizing

Although Seabuckthorn flavone themselves do not have a direct moisturizing effect, seabuckthorn oil contains unsaturated fatty acids, which can enhance the skin barrier function and lock in moisture, thereby keeping the skin moisturized. This also indirectly helps to improve problems such as dry and rough skin.

Benefits of seabuckthorn flavone to the digestive system

Promote gastric juice secretion: Seabuckthorn flavone can promote the biosynthesis of gastric acid and stimulate gastric juice secretion, thereby helping the digestive process.

Protect gastric mucosa: Seabuckthorn flavone and related seabuckthorn oil ingredients contain substances such as β-sitosterol and β-D glucoside, which can accelerate ulcer healing, have a significant protective effect on the stomach, and help resist gastric ulcers.

Improve indigestion: Seabuckthorn flavone and other ingredients have a good alleviating effect on symptoms such as indigestion, abdominal distension and pain, gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers, enteritis, and chronic constipation.
