SeaBuck
The ancient equine superfood rediscovered.
The Cunning of the Mongols Meets 21st Century Bio-technology
Genghis Khan and his Mongols changed history when they thundered across Eurasia in the 13th century. Riding up to 50 miles in a day, the 'devil horsemen' out-fought, out-thought and out-rode all comers. On one campaign, the Mongols had to abandon a large number of spent war horses in a forest. When they passed by the forest weeks later, they were astounded to find the horses they had left to die restored to health. When the horses saw their riders, they charged out of the forest and rejoined the cavalry with much screaming, kicking and rearing. As it turns out, Genghis Khan had left those horses in a Sea Buckthorn forest. From that time on, the Mongols revered Sea Buckthorn as the 'holy fruit' and made it a staple of horse and human diets.
Sea Buckthorn, or hippophae rhamnoides, is referenced in ancient Tibetan medicine texts including the RGYUD BZI (THE FOUR BOOKS OF PHARMACOPOEIA) that date back to the Tang Dynasty, 618 – 907 AD.
The ancient Greeks fed Sea Buckthorn to their racehorses, and Pegasus was rumored to have preferred the bright orange berries, too. Like the Mongols, the war stories of the Greeks also include those in which injured horses fed Sea Buckthorn recovered, some to greater fitness than before. In ancient Greek texts, writings about Sea Buckthorn are attributed to Theophrastus and Dioskorid.
Today, Sea Buckthorn has been used as a food for humans and animals for 2000 years with no known cases of toxicity, adverse reactions or drug interactions.

In initial clinical tests in the 50s, Sea Buckthorn was found to have important anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, analgesic and tissue-regenerating properties. Continuing research shows that Sea Buckthorn supports general healing while providing exceptional support and protection to the gastro-intestinal system, the liver, the heart, the limbic system and the skin.
By those who know it, Sea Buckthorn is widely considered the king of all berries because of the quality and quantity of nourishment its berries contain. It is a thorny deciduous shrub that produces orange berries in late summer and early fall. Its berries, bark and leaves contain more than 190 bio-active substances. As compound classes, these include:
•Six fat-soluble vitamins
•18 amino acids beta carotene
•22 fatty acids
•24 mineral compounds
•36 flavonoids
•42 lipids

What Others Say About SeaBuck
“I am truly excited and impressed with the results I and my clients have experienced with the introduction of Sea Buck to the feeding program. From foals, to horses in training/competition, I have seen significant results to the overall health of these horses - they look better, feel better and perform better. There is a ton of research behind this product so perhaps I should not be so surprised with the results I am seeing.”
Dr. Douglas Beebe, DVM
“We began using SeaBuck on our show jumping stallions in May of 2006. Not only have they had their most incredible show season ever, but they look and feel fantastic as well. Then, as an added bonus, one of our stallion’s motility rates increased from 20 percent to 80 percent. Needless to say we are hooked on SeaBuck.”
