Women’s health care:

One special feature of Sea Buckthorn is that the berry contains oil both in the seed and soft pulp of the berry. The seed oil is rich in essential fatty acids (omega fatty acids), linolenic and alpha-linolenic acids, and the pulp oil is the richest known source of palmitoleic acid (Omega-7) rarely found in the plant kingdom. Both seed and pulp oil contain exceptionally high levels of natural vitamin E, both tocopherols, tocotrienols, and plant sterols. During the past few decades scientists have carried out extensive research on Sea Buckthorn. This has resulted in an improved understanding of the health benefits and chemical composition of the berry and its oil. Due to the rich content of the essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and trace minerals, Sea Buckthorn oil offers exceptional support for women’s health, not only to improve peri-menopausal symptoms but also to maintain the health and well being of women throughout their lifetime.
 
Healthy skin:

The beneficial effects of Omega-7 on the skin and mucous membranes have been substantiated by product specific clinical and experimental studies. The aging process considerably alters both the structure and the mechanical properties of skin. Aged skin is less extendable and less elastic than younger skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are characteristic signs of age, and especially photo-aged skin.  

Wrinkle formation is due to the decrease of elasticity, photo-aging and free radical attack on the skin. Sea Buckthorn oil is an excellent source of essential nutrients for regulating moisture and sensitivity of skin. A study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of Sea Buckthorn oil capsules to reduce the signs of aging through measurements of skin hydration, elasticity and skin roughness. In the clinical study, 30 healthy women average age of 61 years took 2 capsules twice a day for three months.  Skin hydration study results: A highly significant increase in skin hydration was recorded during and after the treatment. Increase in moisturization after one month, 33.6%; after three months, 48.6%.
