Heart disease includes a number of different diseases affecting the heart: coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, cardiovascular disease, ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, inflammatory heart disease, valvular heart disease and others. It is the leading cause of death in Europe and the United States.

Every third man (36%) prematurely dies from heart and circulatory system disease (CVD) in the UK.

Sea buckthorn can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and stimulates the work of all muscles including the heart muscle¹.

There are 7 kinds of flavonoids in SeaBerry, but isorhamnetin and quercetin are the main ones. The research² made by Zhang Maoshun and others from the West China Medical University found out that SeaBerry could remit angina and improve the mechanocardiography and the ischemic electrocardiogram. Its curative effect is better than of isosorbide dinitrate, which might be due to the increased volume of coronary blood flow and myocardial blood flow and the decrease of myocardial oxygen consumption and inhibition of platelet aggregation.

Another study made in Xi’an Medical University³ showed that SeaBerry could strengthen the contractibility of the extra-corporeal papillary muscles.

Liu Femgming of the Baoto Medical College⁴ discovered that SeaBerry could prolong the time of ventricular fibrillation, postpone the atrioventricular condition, lower the heart rate and attenuate the myocardial contractility.

It is also known that according to the Danish study published in January 2008 in the European Heart Journal found that non-drinkers had a 30 to 31 % higher risk of heart disease compared to moderate drinkers, no matter the amount of physical activity they undertook.

Drinking alcohol in moderation reduces the damage to the effected tissue following a heart attack⁵.

American Heart Association concludes⁶ that consumption of one or two units of alcohol per day (1 unit of alcohol = 58 ml of SeaBerryLQ.) is associated with a reduction in risk of (coronary heart disease) approximately 30-50%.
