Strengthening the immune system begins with caring for the skin and mucous membranes.
Autumn also marks the beginning of the flu season, presenting several challenges to our health during the still ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, the body should already be supported preventively to strengthen its immune system, whether vaccinated or unvaccinated. Intact skin and fully functional mucous membranes, e.g. in the nose, bronchi or intestines, are an essential prerequisite for health. SANDICCA organic sea buckthorn pulp oil, obtained from Austrian sea buckthorn, provides support as a natural food supplement and active oil for the protective barriers of the skin and mucous membranes. This helps prevent harmful substances, viruses and bacteria from entering the body.
If we did not have skin and mucous membranes as an intact protective barrier, the immune system would be permanently challenged without breaks and would constantly have to work at the limits of its performance. This overstrain is particularly significant in the intestines, as their enormous surface area means that daily food intake results in intensive contact with substances from the environment.
If these boundary surfaces are damaged, “irritants” can pass through the barrier unhindered and trigger overreactions of the immune system in the body. In addition to an increased susceptibility to infection, the consequences may include allergies, neurodermatitis and food intolerances.
Sea buckthorn pulp oil to protect the natural barrier function with exceptionally high bioavailability.
The superfood sea buckthorn, first cultivated in Austria by SANDICCA, contains not only a high level of vitamin C but also a significant proportion of sea buckthorn pulp oil. This oil is obtained through an elaborate process similar to that used for extra virgin olive oil. As a pioneer plant, sea buckthorn stores solar energy in naturally occurring beta-carotene, the precursor to provitamin A. In concentrated form, this has a cell-renewing and skin-regenerating effect, particularly for sensitive and heavily stressed mucous membranes. It therefore supports the skin’s repair system. It is also used as a radiation protection oil to help prevent cell damage, for example caused by excessive exposure to sunlight. It is also used for preventive and follow-up care during chemotherapy or radiation therapy, in consultation with the treating physician.
SANDICCA maintains a dialogue with medical professionals and pharmacologists in this regard.
It is administered orally as a natural food supplement. Just two teaspoons cover, among other things, approximately 86% of the daily requirement of vitamin E, which, as alpha–tocopherol, protects cells from free radicals and thus from oxidative stress. Due to its naturally occurring vitamins and secondary plant compounds, it also has high bioavailability, which refers to the speed at which an active ingredient enters the bloodstream from its existing form. When applied externally, for example to the mucous membranes of the mouth or nose, it also naturally supports the skin’s barrier function and thereby strengthens the immune system.
