HIPPOPHAE SALICIFOLIA D DON- A PLANT WITH MULTIFARIOUS BENEFITS
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Hippophae salicifolia (commonly known as Seabuckthorn) can be regarded as a rich natural source of multivitamins. High amounts of vitamins A, B1, B12, E, K and polyphenols account for its vast nutraceutical properties. Some studies have established the superiority of H. salicifolia over other close relatives in terms of bioactive components. Despite all its valuable properties, the plant has an ignored status- both commercially and ecologically. The pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries continue resorting to other Hippophae species which have comparatively lower nutrient content. To add to it, lack of information about the importance of H. sailcifolia among the growers is leading to degradation of natural populations in some regions. The article aims to provide an insight into different aspects of H. salicifolia and highlight the need for research and development pertaining to the species.Â
