Puredia’s Sea Buckthorn: A Nutritional Treasure from Qinghai High Plateau
At elevations above 3,000 meters on China’s Qinghai Plateau, sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides) is flourishing as a high-value nutraceutical ingredient.Known locally as the "golden fruit," sea buckthorn is transformingthe region into a center of excellence for nutraceutical ingredients. Puredia, a global leader in sustainably produced, certified organic sea buckthorn ingredients.
Meet the Nature Super fruit
Qinghai province is strategically recognized as one of China’s most important regions for sea buckthorn cultivation and development. With approximately 2.45 million mu (around 163,000 hectares) of sea buckthorn forests, Qinghai accounts for roughly 8% of China’s total sea buckthorn resources.
Qinghai’s unique high-altitude climate—marked by intense sunlight, temperature extremes, and pure air—naturally stimulates sea buckthorn berries to develop exceptionally high levels of bioactive nutrients. Qinghai sea buckthorn contains over 190 bioactive compounds, including omega fatty acids(Omega 3, 6, 7, 9), carotenoids, tocopherols, tocotrienols, phytosterols, vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility:
Our Sea Buckthorn production goes beyond environmental sustainability to incorporate social responsibility, creating a meaningful impact for both the planet and people:
Ecosystem Restoration: Sea buckthorn cultivation has transformed over 110,000 acres of barren land in Tibet into thriving ecosystems, showcasing its role in environmental regeneration.
Sustainable Harvesting Practices: Farmers are trained in sustainable techniques that allow plants to regenerate naturally, ensuring long-term ecological balance.
Seasonal Income for Farmers: Harvesting sea buckthorn occurs during the winter season, a time when traditional crop harvesting has ended. This provides farmers with much-needed additional work and income, empowering rural communities and supporting their economic stability.
By combining sustainability with social responsibility, sea buckthorn production embodies a holistic approach, benefiting ecosystems, farmers, and consumers alike.
Clinically Proven Nutritional Benefits
Sea buckthorn has demonstrated multiple health benefits, supported byclinical research. Its unique nutrient profile offers advantages in:
Skin health: Rich in Omega 7 (palmitoleic acid and vaccenic acid), sea buckthorn enhances skin hydration, elasticity, collagen production, and reduces visible signs of aging.
Anti-aging: The Strongest Plant Antioxidant to simulate Circulating Stem Cells, rich carotenoids, vitamin E, and polyphenols protect against oxidative stress and inflammation
Cardiovascular Health: Omega 3, Omega 6, and phytosterols help manage cholesterol levels, support heart function, and promote overall metabolic health
