There is increasing evidence to support the hypothesis that free radical-mediated oxidative processes contribute to atherogenesis (Eccleston 2002, Ivanov 1973). Research (in vitro) has shown that antioxidant nutrients have the ability to affect cell response and gene expression.

Seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a rich source of antioxidants both aqueous and lipophilic, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids, which may proivde cardiovascular benefits.
