HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sea Buckthorn 900 mg by Mental Refreshment

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has 3 active ingredients — all forms of sea buckthorn oil: the oil blend itself, a supercritical fruit extract, and seed oil. The capsules also contain gelatin and rice powder as inactive ingredients (the materials that hold everything together and make the capsule).

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Sea Buckthorn's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: cardiovascular health, skin, hair, nails, immune.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyslipidemia, Hypertension, Dry skin, Aging skin, Wrinkled skin, Dry eye — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Sea Buckthorn is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging skin (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Sea Buckthorn is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Common cold, Dry eye, Dry skin, Dyslipidemia, and more.

Sea buckthorn has some research backing for burns (possibly effective), but the evidence isn't strong for much else. It's rated possibly ineffective for eczema, and the data's too thin to know whether it really helps with high cholesterol (dyslipidemia), aging skin, or cancer prevention.

If you're thinking about this for burn healing, it may be worth a try — just understand the science isn't definitive yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sea Buckthorn

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sea buckthorn is generally well tolerated when you eat it as food, but supplement doses haven't been fully studied, so be cautious and check with your doctor. At very high doses — one person took 100 grams daily for six months — it caused yellow staining of the skin.

Most people taking normal supplement doses won't run into that. There's not enough safety data on sea buckthorn while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're nursing before you take this.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Sea Buckthorn

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Sea Buckthorn.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 289 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check with your pharmacist if you take any blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (like warfarin, clopidogrel, or aspirin) — sea buckthorn may increase bleeding risk. Also double-check if you're on medications to lower blood pressure, since sea buckthorn could theoretically make them work too well.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're looking at sea buckthorn for burn healing and you're not on blood thinners or blood pressure meds, this is worth considering — just check your exact medications first. If you do take those drugs, or if you're breastfeeding, talk to your pharmacist before starting.

Keep in mind the evidence for most other uses is still thin.

Sea Buckthorn 900 mg by Mental Refreshment: Common Questions

Does Sea Buckthorn 900 mg by Mental Refreshment interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Sea Buckthorn 900 mg has a known interaction with 289 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Sea Buckthorn 900 mg contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner like warfarin?
Not without checking with your pharmacist first. Sea buckthorn can slow how your blood clots, which could raise your bleeding risk if you're already on a blood thinner. Your pharmacist can tell you whether it's safe for your specific situation.
What's the yellow staining I've heard about?
At very high doses — like 100 grams a day for months — sea buckthorn can turn your skin yellow. Normal supplement doses are much smaller, so this is pretty rare, but it's good to know. The staining appears to fade once you stop taking it.
Is this actually effective for burns?
The research suggests it may help, which is why we rate it possibly effective. But the evidence isn't rock solid yet. If you want to try it for burn healing, it's reasonable to give it a go — just manage your expectations about how much it'll do.
Is it safe to take while I'm breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety data on sea buckthorn supplements during breastfeeding to know for sure. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you — they can help you weigh the pros and cons for your situation.
What are the 3 ingredients in this capsule?
All three are different forms of sea buckthorn oil — the oil blend itself, a fruit extract made using supercritical extraction, and seed oil. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and rice powder.
Does this contain any fillers?
The inactive ingredients are gelatin (the capsule material) and rice powder. Those are standard and pretty minimal, so there's not much extra stuff in here.
