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 for our health during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. That is why 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, bronchial tubes or intestines, are an essential prerequisite for good health. SANDICCA organic sea buckthorn fruit pulp oil, obtained from Austrian sea buckthorn, supports the protective barriers of the skin and mucous membranes as a natural food supplement and functional oil. This helps prevent dangerous substances, viruses and bacteria from entering the body.
Without skin and mucous membranes functioning 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 capacity. This excessive strain is particularly significant in the intestines, as their enormous surface area means that daily food intake involves intensive contact with substances from the environment.
If these interfaces 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 infections, possible consequences include allergies, neurodermatitis and food intolerances.
Sea buckthorn fruit 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 high levels of vitamin C but also a significant proportion of sea buckthorn fruit pulp oil. This oil is obtained using 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 of provitamin A. In concentrated form, this has a cell-renewing and skin-regenerating effect, particularly for sensitive and heavily stressed mucous membranes. It thereby supports the skin’s repair system. It is also used as a radiation protection oil to help prevent cell damage, for example from excessive exposure to sunlight. It is likewise used before and after chemotherapy or radiotherapy, in consultation with the treating physician.
SANDICCA works closely with medical and pharmaceutical professionals in this regard.
It is administered orally as a natural food supplement. Just two teaspoons provide, among other things, approximately 86% of the daily requirement of vitamin E, which, as alpha–tocopherol, protects cells from free radicals and therefore 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 naturally supports the skin’s barrier function and thus strengthens the immune system.
