Omega 7 or palmitoleic acid is a little known fatty acid that does wonders for health. It's rare in the plant kingdom and even scarcer in the animal world. It's found in the pulp of sea buckthorn berries and has gained popularity in recent years as more studies come out on the subject.

Here are the top benefits of Omega 7:

1.Skin Rejuvenation

Omega 7 is absolutely fantastic for soothing dry skin conditions. Externally, it will provide the moisture needed to heal chapped, broken skin and provide a healthy barrier to lock this moisture in.

Internally, Omega 7 will provide moisture to the body's lubrication channels, namely the hair, skin, and nails. It also lubricates the mucous membranes and therefore has been shown to help people suffering from dry eyes, as well as provide relief for women suffering from postmenopausal vaginal dryness.

Hydration is truly the key to youthful and beautiful skin and omega 7 delivers it in spades. Omega 7 will help to fight inflammation, as well as protect against wrinkles and loss of elasticity for skin that glows with radiant youthfulness.

2. Improved Digestion

Issues in the GI tract include problems with digestion, acidity, and ulcers, all of which contribute to many nasty symptoms such as pain and burning in the stomach, and even fatigue.

Because omega 7 helps to lubricate the mucous membranes it can help with these common GI issues. You won't believe the difference in your overall well-being and energy levels when you sort your gut out.

3. Improved Heart Health

Healthy cholesterol levels are essential for cardiovascular health and omega 7 has shown promise for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. Omega 7 can also smooth artery passage ensuring artery walls stay strong.

Like omega 3 which helps lower bad cholesterol (LDL), omega 7 goes one step further by lowering bad cholesterol and actually helps raise good cholesterol (HDL).

4. Improved Blood Sugar Levels

Omega 7 can help to prevent diabetes by improving insulin resistance which lowers glucose levels. Omega 7 also fights obesity by reducing the accumulation of fat cells, as obesity is a large risk factor for diabetes.
