Oblepiha (Hippophae ramnoids)
Our flagship product is Oblepiha Herbal Honey and Oblepiha Ginseng Herbal Honey. Oblepiha is known in Chinese as "Sha-ji" and in English as "Seabuckthorn" or "Siberian pineapple". The products from this plant are among the most important and leading sources of medicinal, nutritional and cosmetic products in Russia. Traditional uses of Oblepiha in Russia, China and Tibet date back many centuries. The products from Oblepiha are important components of the Russian cosmonauts, athletes and special engineers, and the cream prepared from it is used for protection from cosmic radiation, tan-enhancement, cell tissue regeneration, as an antioxidant, wound healing and antiaging. Oblepiha was one of the strategically important medicinal plants in the ex-Soviet Union.

Until recently, most of the scientific investigations and findings on cultivation, processing and clinical studies of the plant were kept secret. However, state funded scientific research on plant improvement for industrial production and processing of Oblepiha has been thriving in Russia since 1940. During the eighties and nineties there has been a growing interest in the introduction of improved varieties for commercial processing in China, Canada and Europe. Due to long traditional experiences and important scientific findings, Oblepiha is becoming popular in Europe and Asia. The fruits, seeds, leaves and cork contain large amounts of chemical elements, essential oils, vitamins A, B, C, E, carotenes, flavonoids, palmitic and palmitoleic acids, unsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acid), beta-sitosterol and many other bioactive compounds that are useful in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutritional applications.
