Real stories from real customers.

For more than a decade, neighbours, market regulars, and shipping customers have shared what sea buckthorn has done for them. Here are a few of their stories, in their own words.

"I want to tell you that your product is AMAZING. You weren't sure how well it would work with someone whose pancreas was completely dead. As soon as I started taking it (approx. ½ tsp with breakfast and again at lunch), my sugars dropped and leveled out. So I kept taking it for a couple of months and then stopped for 3 weeks. Started it again 2 days ago, and wow. Where I was consistently around the 12 to 13 mark for my sugars when not on it, I am now mostly down between 6 and 7. FANTASTIC!"

"I have been using Sea Buckthorn berries for two months and these are the changes I've noticed so far with my body. I no longer have swollen and bleeding hemorrhoids. I would hate to have to use the bathroom and would almost pass out from the pain. I also no longer have to grease my hands, neck and shoulders every night with cream for arthritis. My heels and feet no longer dry out and crack. The pain from my nerve-endings is extremely mild. I have fibromyalgia and the pain was very extreme. My hot flashes are mild compared to before. A great berry to take."

"After hearing a friend talk about the great benefits of sea buckthorn, I decided to give it a try. I started taking about 20 berries a day to lower my blood pressure. After about 1½ weeks I noticed a drop in my numbers by 10 — top and bottom. My best result, which happened around day 4, was the huge decrease in joint pain! This is the most exciting for me, since being a sufferer of fibromyalgia I usually have constant pain. With this relief in joint and body pain, my sleep has been a lot better and I don't wake up in pain like I used to."

"I love the berries and I do think they make a difference in my health. I noticed right away an increase in energy and wellbeing. It was noticeable."

"My husband and I have been using Sea Buckthorn since the week after Thanksgiving. We have a smoothie every morning and for the first time in years we are actually getting enough fruit in our diet. Speaking for myself, I am noticing a significant change in my energy level. My meal choices no longer include fried food and coffee has gone from one every morning to not caring if I have coffee at all. The Sea Buckthorn adventure has been fun and educational. Picking our own fruit (and getting picked too) has been a social event — hats off to Beth and Clay for bringing this business to their home town. Looking forward to helping harvest the crop next year!"

"I have been taking blood pressure pills for almost 2 years and they haven't made a change. I have been taking Sea Buckthorn for 3 months and keeping a log to see if it improved. My last reading was 118/78 — before it would be 126/97. I am no longer having headaches all the time. I drink the juice and eat the chaff in smoothies or add it to my food. I also had very dry skin and not many lotions I can use because I'm sensitive and break out. I've been adding Sea Buckthorn to my lotion and my skin feels super soft now, plus it gives me relief from scratching all the time from the dryness."

"Hi Beth, just wanted to tell you I had been on the cholesterol pill for a year. My second-to-last trip to the doctor I'd been told my dosage had to be increased. I asked for some time to look after it myself by diet — he gave me three months. I ran out of pills halfway through and never refilled them. I replaced my pill with 15 to 20 berries with my morning yogurt and never changed anything else. I had my blood work last week and my cholesterol is smack on! Not only do I not need to increase my dosage, if I keep it in check for my next set of blood work I won't need to be on Crestor at all. Your berries are the ONLY thing I have changed in my diet."

"After a month consuming the recommended 12 berries per day, I have noticed a reduction in my arthritic pain, more regular bowel movements and a greater amount of overall energy. Picking those berries at Beth and Clay's farm in Chipman was also good for the soul — a wonderful place with very kind folks. My husband, the skeptic, has also started eating the berries and helped me pick them on the second visit. He must have noticed they were a good thing!"
TTamara
"I have been struggling with Psoriasis for over 20 years using various remedies and medications that just haven't worked. In early October I started adding 12 sea buckthorn berries mushed up in my yogurt. Within 2 weeks I noticed my psoriasis clearing up. On bad spots I cut a berry in half and rub the spot(s) for a few days and in no time they disappear. I've also mixed together a Glaxo-based moisturizing cream with mushed-up sea buckthorn to use daily. It hasn't been an instant change, however, I am amazed at how my psoriasis has cleared up and continues to."

"Hi Beth. Two years ago I went to my eye doctor for my regular exam. He checked the pressure in my eyes and it was high — he was very concerned as this can lead to Glaucoma. He made an appointment for me to come back in a year. At my next exam in 2015 he checked the pressure again. His first comment was, 'Have you been doing anything different or eating anything different lately?' The only thing different was I eat 12 Sea Buckthorn berries every day. He told me to keep on eating them because the pressure in my eyes was perfect. He could hardly believe it."
