Product Overview
General Health Bio-science offers high-stability Sea Buckthorn Fruit Oil Powder, engineered specifically to overcome the oxidation vulnerabilities and formulation limits of liquid oils in dry applications. Derived from pure, high-altitude wild sea buckthorn pulp oil (Hippophae rhamnoides L.), our powder utilizes advanced low-temperature microencapsulation technology. This converts lipophilic Omega-7 oil into a free-flowing, cold-water-dispersible format using food-grade matrix carriers—without synthetic preservatives, artificial colors, or added flavors.

Core Product Advantages
- Advanced Microencapsulation Technology:Homogenized, emulsified, and spray-dried to lock sensitive fatty acids into protective micro-capsules, shielding Omega-7 from heat, light, and premature oxidation.
- Excellent Water Dispersibility:Dissolves and disperses easily in cold water, enabling clean liquid formulations and fast absorption without oil separation.
- Superior Flowability & Caking Resistance:Uniform 80-mesh fine powder that flows freely in high-speed automatic capsule filling and powder blending machines.
- Authentic Organoleptic Profile:Retains the gentle, characteristic natural aroma and pleasant taste profile of high-altitude wild sea buckthorn berries.
Research & References
Fatty Acid Distribution Profile
Analytical testing shows that Palmitic acid (C16:0) and Palmitoleic acid (C16:1) comprise the dominant lipid matrix of our fruit oil, each accounting for over 30% of total fatty acids. Linoleic acid (18:2) is the third most abundant fatty acid, followed by cis-vaccenic acid (18:1 c11). Stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1 c9), and α-linolenic acid (18:3) are present in trace amounts.[1]
Key Preclinical Research Findings
- Dermatological Repair & Wound Healing:Studies demonstrate that high-concentration Omega-7 derived from sea buckthorn oil activates keratinocyte migration, accelerating skin wound closure and tissue recovery[2].
- Anti-Inflammatory & Mucosal Barrier Support:Preclinical models highlight the systemic anti-inflammatory pathways of sea buckthorn lipids, offering targeted support for skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis) and internal mucous membrane lining health.[3]
- Cardiovascular & Ischemic Protection:Studies indicate that sea buckthorn pulp oil attenuates myocardial ischemic-reperfusion injury in a dose-dependent manner by modulating Akt/eNOS signaling pathways, pointing to significant cardioprotective potential[4].

FAQ
Q1: How does microencapsulation benefit dry supplement formulations?
A1: Raw liquid oils oxidize quickly when exposed to air and cannot be directly incorporated into hard capsules, tablet presses, or dry powder mixes. Microencapsulation protects delicate fatty acids from degradation, extends shelf life, covers off-tastes, and converts oil into a cold-water-dispersible powder suitable for modern dry manufacturing equipment.
Q2: What oil load options are available, and how do I choose for my formula?
A2: We supply standard oil loadings ranging from 10% to 50%. Higher oil loads (e.g., 40%–50%) allow for smaller capsule sizes with higher active payload, while lower oil loads (10%–20%) provide maximum water solubility and fast dispersion for instant drink premixes.
