Within the last century Russia, China, and Mongolia have taken the lead in the research, production, and consuming of products containing this phenomenal oil. The Russians refer to the fruit from the sea buckthorn shrub as “Siberian pineapple” due to its juiciness and great taste. Their astronauts have also used the oil as a protection from cosmic radiation as well as including it in their diet regimen. Also, Russian hospitals use the oil for medicinal purposes.
