Phenolic content on dried seabuckthorn leaves Link out of order, keeping it here to remind myself to do more research on it.

According to a Chinese researcher, dried sea buckthorn leaves have 3888mg/100g of flavonoids. Why do you care? Flavonoids are anti-oxidants. They also inhibit the contraction of smooth muscle tissue, thereby increasing blood flow and relieving cramping in the intestines, among other things.

What types of flavonoids are in seabuckthorn? Isorhamnetin, quercitin, myricetin and kaempferol and their glucoside compounds. The carbohydrates that form the glucoside are glucose, rhamnose, arabinose, glactose and mostly are in 3-O-glucoside formation.

The best way to get the flavonoids out of the leaves..is by TEA! Go to Blue Sage Naturals for the awesome, loose leaf tea!
