What it is
Omega 7 Sea Buckthorn Oil from Pharma Nord is a nutritional supplement produced using the berry and seed of the sea buckthorn plant. It is an extract of the sea buckthorn fruit containing palmitoleic acid, an omega 7 fatty acid.
How it helps
Sea buckthorn is a shrub originating from the Himalayas and is rich in omega 7 fatty acids, including palmitoleic acid and vaccenic acid. Traditional Chinese herbalism has used sea buckthorn for a thousand years to support overall health and vitality.
Recent preliminary research on cells in culture suggests that palmitoleic acid, a normal component of body fats and cell membranes, may also work together with insulin to support the uptake of glucose by cells.
There are only a few plant species that are good sources of these fatty acids. In addition to omega 7, sea buckthorn oil is a source of alpha linolenic acid (omega 3 type), linoleic acid (omega 6 type) and oleic acid (omega 9 type), and contains antioxidants (tocopherols, tocotrienols, carotenoids, plant sterols and vitamin C).
The vitamin A found in Omega 7 contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, vision and mucous membranes. Many customers across the UK choose it to help support comfort with dry eyes, dry mouth and intimate dryness.
The palmitoleic acid is extracted from the sea buckthorn fruit using supercritical CO2, giving a vegan appropriate, non genetically modified source of omega 7.
