Omega-7 is attracting much attention from health experts due to its many benefits. Getting enough of this unsaturated fatty acid could help with a wide range of ailments including dry eyes, mouth, skin and digestive disorders. It can also help with intimate dryness, often experienced by women going through menopause.
What’s the best source?
Omega-7 is found in foods like cold water fish and macadamia nuts, but the best source is sea buckthorn, a plant native to Asia and Europe and used in traditional Eastern medicine for 1000 years. Pharma Nord’s Omega-7 Sea Buckthorn Oil offers all the benefits of omega-7 in a handy capsule.
How can omega-7 help me?
Ease dry eyes and mouth
Twice as many women as men have this uncomfortable condition, which can be triggered by factors such as wearing contact lenses, pollution, artificial light and air conditioning.
Many of us also develop dry mouth, which can affect speech and swallowing, cause bad breath and lead to cracked lips and frequent thirst. Taking omega-7 supports the mucous membranes lining our eyes and mouth, helping to lubricate them*.
Eliminate uncomfortable intimate dryness
Around 40 per cent of women experience intimate dryness before, during and after menopause. Studies have found omega-7 helps maintain healthy mucous membranes in the female genital tract, meaning relief from dryness and itching.
Calm upset tummies
Irritated mucous membranes are a factor in digestive problems such as ulcers, IBS, colitis and Crohn’s disease. Research shows omega-7 can help soothe and repair damaged gut membranes, meaning less tummy discomfort.
