🫐 Sea Buckthorn Is Having a Moment — But Does It Fit With Your Medications?
Every cold and flu season, a new "super-supplement" starts trending. This year, it's sea buckthorn — a bright orange berry from Eurasia that's packed with vitamin C, vitamin E, B12, zinc, and antioxidant compounds.
The early research is genuinely interesting: ✨ Lab studies show antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity ✨ One small clinical trial found a sea buckthorn blend was linked to fewer respiratory infections ✨ Preclinical work suggests possible antiviral properties
Sounds great, right? Here's the part most headlines skip: 👇
🔍 The human evidence is still limited. Most studies are lab-based, small, or used combination products — so we can't yet say sea buckthorn prevents or treats colds, flu, or COVID-19.
⚠️ And it may affect blood clotting. That matters if you take blood thinners, aspirin, or other antiplatelet medications.
This is where we come in.
At Binson's Pharmacy, we're not here to sell you a bottle. We're here to help you understand how anything you take fits with everything else you take.
Bring us your supplement bottle — we'll look at it alongside your prescriptions and talk through it. No pressure, no sales pitch. Just a pharmacist who knows your history.
💬 We'd love to hear from you: Have you tried sea buckthorn or another supplement this season?
