Sea buckthorn is a plant rich in vitamins, phenolic compounds, amino acids, fatty acids, and micro- and macro-elements. Numerous studies have found that preparations from various organs of sea buckthorn have anti-cancer, anti-ulcer, and hepatoprotective properties, as well as antibacterial and antiviral activities. This paper reviews the positive role of sea buckthorn preparations in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, focusing on their effect on hemostasis.
Numerous studies on the chemical composition of various organs of sea buckthorn (Elaeagnus rhamnoides (L.) A. Nelson) have found the plant to be a rich source of vitamins, phenolic compounds, amino acids, fatty acids, and micro- and macro-elements. Furthermore, other studies on preparations from various organs have found them to have significant anti-cancer, anti-ulcer, and hepatoprotective properties, as well as various antibacterial and antiviral activities. This paper reviews the current literature concerning the effect of different sea buckthorn preparations, i.e., extracts and fractions with various chemical contents, on hemostasis, and their positive role in the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. It also sheds new light on the mechanisms involved in their action on hemostasis both in vivo and in vitro. For these studies, biological materials, including blood platelets, plasma, and blood, were isolated from healthy subjects and those with cardiovascular risk factors. In addition, it describes the cardioprotective potential of commercial products from different organs of sea buckthorn.
