Omega 7 fatty acids from Sea buckthorn

When women reach menopause, due to changes in their hormonal system, they often become more aware of maintaining their mucous membrane’s ability to retain their natural moisture. One of the vitamins that is especially important for maintaining normal mucous membranes is vitamin A.

One of nature's richest sources of vitamin A (beta-carotene) is berries and seeds from Sea buckthorn. With Omega 7 from pharma Nord, you supply your mucous membranes with generous amounts of beta-carotene in a very bioavailable form which is extracted from both berries and seeds.

The Sea buckthorn plant (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) is a deciduous shrub that can grow up to six meters tall. The plant grows wild in Europe and Asia, typically in dunes along coasts. In mountainous areas it can be found in dry river beds. The female plants get characteristic orange-colored stone fruits, which are rich in essential and non-essential fatty acids, flavonoids, fruit acids and beta-carotene and more.

There are only a few plants that are good sources of the important polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition to omega-7 fatty acid, sea buckthorn oil is a good source of the omega 3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid and the omega 6 fatty acid linoleic acid, both of which are essential, as well as oleic acid which is an omega 9 fatty acid) . Sea buckthorn oil also contains high levels of antioxidants (tocopherols, tocotrienols , carotenoids, plant sterols and fat-soluble vitamins.)
