Omega-7 Secrets: Why Sea Buckthorn Isn't Just Vitamin C
Episode 65
In today's episode we're exploring Hippophae rhamnoides, or sea buckthorn, a resilient shrub packed with over 190 bioactive nutrients.
We explain why focusing on its Vitamin C content misses the true therapeutic potential: Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), the rarest fat that sends repair signals to epithelial cells and mucous membranes. Learn the critical distinction: fruit oil (rich in Omega-7) is best for skin repair and dryness (like dry eyes), while seed oil (high in Omega-3/6) supports cardiovascular health and manages cholesterol.
Finally, we detail how to avoid low-quality products by seeking products made only via Supercritical CO2 extraction.
