Omega 7 from Sea Buckthorn
 Omega
7 from Sea Buckthorn is a skin care secret passed down for thousands
of years from Ancient Greece. Legend says that the victorious Greeks
were amazed that their enemy’s horses not only survived in a jungle
that was abundant in a natural botanical source of Omega 7 oil (Sea
Buckthorn), but that their horses were stronger and had shiny and
radiant hair. Thus, the Latin name for Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae
rhamnoides), which means “Shiny Horse”. Of course, Sea Buckthorn
became legendary for improving the coats of race horses in ancient
Greece. Ancient Greek health texts attributed to Theophrastus and
Dioskorid discussed the many health benefits of Sea Buckthorn. Its use
was also praised in several Tibetan herbal texts; including “The RGyud
Bzi” (The Four Books of Pharmacopoeia).
What is also impressive is
Omega 7
What is also impressive is Omega 7 Sea Buckthorn’s
ability to help moisturize and soothe the body’s sensitive internal
organs, in particular the mucous membranes that line the stomach/GI
tract, upper respiratory tract and vagina, as well as its beneficial,
external skin benefits and anti-aging properties. It has an extensive
history of traditional use in Tibet and Mongolia for the body’s
sensitive internal organs, particularly the mucous membranes that line
the stomach/GI tract, upper respiratory tract and vagina. It is this
botanical’s ability to help moisturize and sooth these sensitive
internal areas that has made it a staple of traditional herbal
systems.
Palmitoleic acid is the key source of Omega 7’s
amazing skin support properties. Palmitoleic acid is a naturally
occurring component of healthy skin and is a highly effective
antioxidant providing strong anti-aging support due to its ability
control free radicals. This key constituent of Omega 7 is also a
strong emollient, which is a substance that soothes and moisturizes
the skin and promotes the regeneration of tissues.
Omega 7 from Sea Buckthorn
 Omega
7 from Sea buckthorn contains dozens of phyto-nutrients which nourish
the skin, and support digestive and mucous membrane health. It also
contains full spectrum Vitamin E containing both tocopherols and
tocotrienols. Vitamin E is well known for healing and repairing skin
tissue. Phytosterols contained in Omega 7 provide unique wound healing
benefits. The Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids in Sea Buckthorn support
our body’s natural inflammatory response to promote healthy collagen,
which improves skin tone and slows down aging of the skin. Omega 7
fatty acids are the predominant fatty acid in epithelial cell
membranes. They are believed to play an important role in protecting
the body’s cell membranes from oxidative, physical and emotional
stress. Sea buckthorn oil can contain up to 50% omega 7 fatty acids.
A special technology called
Supercritical CO2 extraction
 A
special technology called Supercritical CO2 extraction allows Sea
Buckthorn’s broad spectrum of constituents to be extracted for optimal
benefit. This process does not use hexane and other industrial
solvents in the extraction process, which is much healthier for you
and your skin. This Supercritical extraction process gently delivers
the beneficial components of Sea Buckthorn in a low heat and oxygen
environment. When looking for the best quality source of Omega 7, it
is important to look for this type of extraction method to ensure the
full health benefits of the Omega 7 are delivered and that they are
free of any harsh solvent residues. The
Supercritical Omega 7 by
New Chapter utilizes this special extraction process in all
their herbal botanical formulas.
Omega 7 from Sea Buckthorn is one nutrient that
everyone should consider incorporating into their daily skin health
routine -- not only for the external health and skin benefits, but
also for the internal health benefits as well.
