Sun Bite - 100% Organic Apple, Sea Buckthorn and Banana Juice 330ml

Scientifically Supported Health Benefits of Apple, Banana & Sea Buckthorn

Combining organic apple, banana, and sea buckthorn creates a vibrant, nutrient-dense juice rich in vitamin C, polyphenols, natural sugars, and healthy fats. This trio balances flavor and function, offering immune protection, skin nourishment, digestive support, and sustained energy.

1. Vitamin and Antioxidant Synergy

Apples provide polyphenols and vitamin C, bananas offer vitamin B6 and dopamine precursors, while sea buckthorn contributes extremely high levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenoids [1,2]. Together, these nutrients strengthen antioxidant defenses and promote immune resilience [1,2].

2. Immune Support and Inflammation Control

Sea buckthorn’s vitamin C and flavonoids modulate inflammatory pathways, while apples enhance immune regulation via polyphenols [1,3]. Bananas add soluble fiber and supportive prebiotics, aiding mucosal immunity and reducing gut-related inflammation [3].

3. Skin and Hair Health

The combination delivers skin-protective nutrients: sea buckthorn’s omega-7 fatty acids support skin hydration and elasticity, apple polyphenols reduce oxidative skin stress, and banana’s vitamin B6 supports collagen synthesis [2,4]. Regular intake may improve skin tone, barrier function, and hair vitality [2,4].

4. Cardiovascular and Microcirculatory Support

Sea buckthorn’s rare fatty acids and vitamin E promote vascular elasticity, while apple polyphenols improve endothelial function and reduce oxidative damage to blood vessels [1,5]. Banana contributes potassium, which helps maintain blood pressure balance [5].

5. Digestive Wellness and Gut Microbiota

Bananas are high in resistant starch and fructooligosaccharides, promoting gut-friendly bacteria and bowel regularity [3,6]. Apple pectin acts as a prebiotic, and sea buckthorn helps protect mucosal tissues from inflammation and infection [1,6].

6. Energy and Mental Performance

Natural sugars from apple and banana provide clean energy, while sea buckthorn adds B-complex vitamins and mitochondrial-supportive antioxidants [2,7]. This blend supports cognitive clarity, mental stamina, and mood regulation [2,7].

7. Liver Support and Detoxification

Sea buckthorn enhances liver enzyme function and detox capacity, while apple and banana fibers help bind toxins and support their elimination through the gut [1,4]. These combined actions promote hepatic resilience and systemic detox [1,4].
