Benefits Of Omega 7 Fatty Acids

 

Omega 7? Yes, omega 7.  Just like Omega 3. Omega 7 is is a highly beneficial fatty acid but you may never have heard of it as it is extremely rare in food sources with Macadamia nuts being the only well known source, and that in very small amounts. There is however any amazing super fruit that is a fantastic source of Omega 7, sea buckthorn.

While the benefit of Sea Buckthorn on the body’s largest organ, the skin, has been widely documented in ancient texts, it also has an extensive history of traditional use in Tibet & Mongolia for the body’s sensitive internal organs.  In particular, the mucous membranes that line the stomach/GI tract, upper respiratory tract, and vagina.

The ability of this botanical to help moisturize and soothe these sensitive internal areas in addition to its external skin benefits has made it a staple of traditional herbal systems. Similar properties have been reported in various modern studies.

Omega 7 Supplements: A Way To Good Health

Modern science has determined how best to extract Sea Buckthorn’s broad spectrum constituents. Supercritical Omega-7 employs a special technology called Supercritical CO2 extraction (which does not use hexane or other industrial solvents commonly used to create herbal extracts).  This delivers the beneficial components of Sea Buckthorn under extremely gentle conditions in a low heat and oxygen environment.

The key source of Supercritical Omega-7’s lauded skin support properties comes from a specific fatty acid. Palmitoleic acid is a naturally occurring component of healthy skin and is a highly effective antioxidant providing strong anti-aging support because of its ability to rein in free radicals.

A 1999 report suggested that this palmitoleic acid may help support healthy skin. This key constituent of Supercritical Omega-7 is also a strong emollient.  This is a substance that soothes and moisturizes the skin and promotes the regeneration of tissues.

Omega-7 nicely complements any essential fatty- acid health regimen. As such, the berries and seeds of this revered botanical are also a source of traditional Omega-3, -6, and -9.  This makes it the optimal form of essential fatty-acid supplementation.  One that everyone should consider incorporating into their skin and membrane health routine.
