Polish researchers investigated the antioxidant and anticoagulant properties of sea buckthorn twig and leaf extracts using various in vitro models. Their findings were published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that extracts from different parts of SBT (berries and twigs) are also excellent sources of active substances, such as antioxidants, which can be used for pharmacological and cosmetic applications.
