Hey Everyone!
We have our Sea
Buckthorn Powder on special today. However, when you take the Sea Buckthorn Powder with our new Rose Hips Powder — which has been clinically shown to significantly reduce abdominal fat in humans without any changes to diet or exercise — the synergistic effect is nothing short of miraculous, attacking fat accumulation from multiple biological angles for a more powerful result than either can achieve
alone. I’ll go into great detail about all of this today.
Today I made it much more understandable, in laymen terms, on how the Sea Buckthorn Berry Powder works.
Firstly, if you are always worried about the fat content on nutrition labels, then this product may be just for you.
As seen at the study here, they fed mice a high-fat diet in order to induce obesity, and half the mice were fed Sea Buckthorn Berry Powder at the same time just like the one that we carry. For the mice that took the Sea Buckthorn Berry powder, they avoided obesity and had decreased body weight, fat mass, circulating lipid levels, and improved insulin sensitivity compared to the other group. Moreover,
dietary sea buckthorn berry powder alleviated liver lipid accumulation and fat mass in the liver induced by the high-fat diet. Furthermore, sea buckthorn exhibited obvious anti-inflammatory capacity in white adipose tissue, to the point where they avoided obesity.
The results were so profound that they conducted more studies in order to confirm the exact pathways in which the Sea Buckthorn Berry powder
miraculously combatted the negative effects of obesity when eating a high fat diet. As you can see, these next studies had similar results on hamsters at the clinical study here, and another one on mice at the study here.
In the hamster study, they discovered that Sea Buckthorn Berry activates a key enzyme called AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). This enzyme plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis, in order to activate glucose and fatty acid uptake when cellular energy is low.
In laymen terms, when this special AMPK enzyme gets turned on, think of it
like a fuel gauge that says, "Hey, we're running low — better start using stored energy." It pretty much tells your cells to start using stored fat for fuel. Your cells can then take in more sugar (glucose) to produce energy more efficiently. The result? Your body stops storing fat, because AMPK slows down the processes that create and store fat.
So in short, this enzyme flips your body from “store mode” to “burn
mode,” making it easier to shed pounds and harder to store it.
What’s even more impressive is that Rose Hips also activates the AMPK enzyme—your body’s metabolic master switch that flips cells from fat storage to fat burning. But here’s the key: Rose Hips does it through different upstream mechanisms than Sea Buckthorn, which amplifies the overall effect. Together, they promote fat blocking and boost fat oxidation (breaking
down stored fat to use as fuel) even more effectively than either can on its own.
Now check this out: they kept on digging and they discovered something even more miraculous on top of this!
As crazy as this sounds, the Sea Buckthorn Powder also helps your body burn more fat by both activating brown fat and transforming white fat into beige fat — a more
active form of fat that burns calories instead of storing them. Unlike white fat, which just sits there storing calories and expanding your waistline, brown and beige fat are metabolically active - they actually burn calories to generate heat and help you slim down even when you are not exercising. For example, the hamsters were burning more energy (even while at rest) due to browning of their fat tissue
— leading to less fat accumulation despite a high-fat diet.
This brown adipose tissue is the fat that activates right before you start to shiver and is responsible for burning calories. This brown adipose tissue is a powerful factor in helping a person release fat. The issue is, the more obese a person gets, the less of this Brown Adipose Tissue they have. As seen at the study here, the percentage of young men with brown adipose tissue is high, but its activity is reduced in men who are overweight or obese. Therefore, heavier people aren't going to reap the benefits of their fat releasing capabilities from their Brown Adipose tissue anymore.
What's absolutely crazy, is the
researchers suggest that taking dietary sea buckthorn berry powder could help heavier individuals restore the brown adipose tissue they’ve lost due to obesity - by promoting the browning of white fat. This positions Sea Buckthorn as a promising natural approach to addressing obesity at its metabolic roots.
And since Rose Hips Powder activates AMPK through a different biological pathway than Sea Buckthorn, it enhances the
body’s overall fat-burning signals—creating the ideal internal environment for Sea Buckthorn to do its job: restoring and activating brown fat, and transforming stubborn white fat into calorie-burning beige fat. Together, the two superfoods intensify the browning of waistline-expanding white fat by allowing Sea Buckthorn to carry out this function even more efficiently, with Rose Hips creating the ideal supportive environment.
Scientists
have conducted multiple studies on mice, rats, and hamsters, consistently showing that Sea Buckthorn helps release stored fat, activate fat-burning enzymes, and improve metabolic health - and because these animals share many of the same fat-regulating pathways as humans, these results should very well translate into real, lasting fat loss for people too.
What’s truly exciting is that our Rose Hips Powder has already been
clinically shown in humans to significantly reduce abdominal fat — even without any changes to diet or exercise.
Here is what Diane wrote who started taking our Rose Hips Powder:
"I had ordered the rose hips and have been putting just a teaspoon in my smoothie in the morning. I measure my waist each week and cry. I’ve been trying to get rid of some visceral fat. This morning my measurement was down two inches. I went back and
read your newsletter and low and behold that’s a benefit of rose hips. I am so excited. I mostly bought it for more vitamin C."
While Sea Buckthorn works primarily by activating AMPK (flipping your body to “burn mode”), promoting the browning of white fat, and stimulating brown fat activity to burn more calories, Rose Hips Powder — rich in tiliroside — acts through its own distinct set of pathways beyond what we’ve covered above,
focusing more on reducing fat storage, enhancing fat metabolism, and improving insulin sensitivity. Sea Buckthorn flips the switch from “store” to “burn,” while Rose Hips makes sure your body follows through by breaking down fat more efficiently and preventing new fat from forming. Together, they amplify each other’s effects, delivering a comprehensive, natural approach to supporting healthy weight management — especially around
the belly.
So now let’s dive into exactly how our Rose Hips Powder works. It contains a potent flavonoid glycoside called Tiliroside — a compound found only in trace amounts in most foods like berries and grape leaves, while our Rose Hips Powder is loaded with it.
As seen at the 12-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study here, 32 pre-obese individuals (BMI 25–30) demonstrated that daily intake of 100 mg of rosehip extract significantly reduced abdominal visceral fat, total body fat, body weight, and BMI compared to placebo. Notably, there were no dietary changes during the study period. These findings suggest that Rose Hips may be an effective natural aid for weight management.
This glycosidic flavonoid,
Tiliroside, reduces abdominal fat through multiple pathways. It speeds up the way your body burns fat and inhibits the accumulation of new fat. Here are all of the studies and details showing the exact pathways Tiliroside takes for reducing abdominal fat.
As seen in the study here, Tiliroside helps reduce fat buildup in white fat tissue by literally turning down the genes involved in lipogenesis (fat creation), adipogenesis (fat cell development), and lipid storage. This slows down the creation and growth of new fat cells, helping to limit overall fat accumulation. Miraculously, at the same time it also improves how the body uses glucose, boosting
insulin sensitivity and helping the body clear sugar from the blood more efficiently - so less of it gets stored as fat.
👉 But that’s only half the story...
Rose Hips doesn’t just prevent new fat from forming — it also helps your body actively burn the fat you already have. As you’ll see in the studies below...
Firstly, in the study here, Tiliroside boosts fatty acid oxidation in the liver and muscle, helping your body break down stored fat for energy. This not only helps shrink abdominal and visceral fat stores, but also supports a healthier body composition over time. Secondly, it increases the activity of a gene regulator in the liver called
PPAR-alpha, which switches on fat-burning genes and activates pathways that break down stored fat and enhance the body's ability to use fat as a primary fuel source.
If that's not all enough, Rose Hips also activates adiponectin signaling, a key pathway that also improves insulin sensitivity and supports fat metabolism, helping your body process glucose more efficiently and burn fat more effectively
instead of storing it. This triple action helps shift the body toward using fat as fuel, reduces harmful triglycerides, and cuts down on visceral fat stores, even without major changes in diet.
When you wrap this entire package together, these mechanisms attack fat from both directions—reducing current fat stores while minimizing the buildup of new ones—which makes Tiliroside from our Rose Hips Powder particularly powerful for shedding pounds.
So while Rose Hips delivers its own powerful, multi-pathway approach to blocking fat storage and accelerating fat burn, let’s not forget the crucial role Sea Buckthorn
plays in this equation.
In short, Sea Buckthorn flips the switch to start burning fat, while Rose Hips makes sure your body follows through by blocking fat storage and ramping up fat metabolism — together creating a powerful, natural duo for long-term weight management. This dynamic combo not only helps prevent new fat from forming but also targets the fat that’s already there.
We do have both our Sea Buckthorn powder and Rose Hips
powder on special through the rest of the month. However, today, I'm mainly focusing on Sea buckthorn since we recently promoted the Rose Hips as a new item.
When you try this vibrant yellow/orange powder (Sea Buckthorn), it is just bursting with aliveness when you take it directly into your mouth; like you can feel it burning with aliveness on your tongue. It's 100% Raw, and I can actually
feel the energy it provides me in my brain.
It’s just one of those crazy medicinal berries with nearly 200 nutritional and bioactive compounds. In terms of nutrients, this fruit is rich in protein, amino acids, vitamins, trace elements, polysaccharides, carotenoids, polyphenols, fatty acids, phytosterols, and so much more. To name a few of the bioactive substances, it is loaded with
flavonoids, phospholipids, procyanidins, steroids, proanthocyanidins, triterpenes, tannins, and 5-hydroxytryptamine.
The use of Sea Buckthorn gained prominence in Russia when scientists discovered its remarkable concentration of biologically active compounds. It was incorporated into the diets of Russian astronauts to support immune function and protect against oxidative stress in space, and even used topically as a cream to help shield
their skin from cosmic radiation.
Our powder is just the berries, and doesn’t contain the leaves, bark or anything like that. The color of the powder is just like the color of the berries in the image below.
