View full detailsOmega 7 is palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid found in relatively few foods. Sea buckthorn berries are among the richest sources, which is why the oil is sold under that name.
It is a different fatty acid from the omega 3 in fish oil and does a different job in the body. Buying one is not a substitute for the other, which people occasionally assume.
Pharma Nord make theirs in 60 and 150 capsule packs and the larger works out considerably better per capsule. Quest's 60+30 is a bonus pack, which is worth checking against the straight counts on cost per capsule.
It is an oil in a softgel, so take it with food. Weleda's is a topical preparation rather than a capsule – a different product for a different purpose.
Oils go rancid, so keep the pack closed, cool and out of the light, and buy a size you will finish. A sharp smell on opening means the oil has turned.
If you take anticoagulant medication, ask your GP or pharmacist before starting any concentrated oil. Not one to begin in pregnancy without advice.
