Sea buckthorn juice is tart and concentrated, so most people don't drink it straight. Here's a practical starting point for working it into your day.
How much to use
A common starting point is 20–30ml of sea buckthorn juice diluted into a full glass of water, once daily. If you're new to it, start smaller and see how you like the taste before increasing.
Best time of day
There's no single "correct" time — many people take it in the morning as part of a daily routine, while others prefer it before a meal. Consistency matters more than the specific hour.
Easy ways to serve it
- Simple dilution: 20–30ml juice + 200ml water, over ice
- Morning tonic: juice + warm water + a slice of ginger
- Smoothie boost: add a splash to a fruit or vegetable smoothie
- Sparkling refresher: juice + soda water + a squeeze of lime
- Tea blend: stir into a mild herbal tea once it's cooled slightly
Tips for taste
Sea buckthorn's tartness is closer to cranberry or sour berries than to orange juice. A touch of honey or a sweeter fruit in a smoothie can balance it if you find it too sharp on its own.
Storage
Keep the bottle tightly sealed and refrigerated after opening, and always check the label for specific storage guidance.
