The Super Anti-Aging Oil You’ve Never Heard About
Also, due to the high antioxidant power of sea buckthorn oil, it can provide some serious protection from liver damage. One animal study found that this herbal oil reduced the concentrations of aflatoxins in the liver, which can stop these toxins from having adverse effects on the liver. Another study found that this oil helped to normalize the serum bile acids in the liver and normalize its enzymes. This study was published in the Journal of Clinical Science.
You can apply this oil topically or take it internally to get all the benefits. Orally, the dose is typically 5 milligrams, twice per day. Topically, simply apply it liberally to the affected area or the area you would like to receive its anti-aging compounds, such as around the eyes and lips.
If you decide to consume sea buckthorn oil internally, don’t be concerned if your urine turns a red or very dark yellow; this is normal.
As you would imagine, extracting sea buckthorn oil is a difficult process and the manner in which this is done will affect the quality, as well as the potency of the oil. Cold pressing might be thought to be ideal, but the actual extraction rate is poor. Hot pressing or solvent extraction either contaminates the oil with toxic solvents or the heat destroys the oils benefits.

Look for oil that has been extracted using a CO2 extraction method. Liquid CO2 is used to pull out oil, which allows for more extraction and no contamination.
Please note that if you have kidney, liver, or intestinal problems, do not consume sea buckthorn oil. If you have any doubts, or if you are on any type of medication, before you take sea buckthorn oil internally, consult your doctor. Although it is believed to be safe for most people, you should be certain that there will be no drug interactions.
