Omega 7 - Nutritional Support for Mucous Membranes and Skin
How can Omega 7 help me?
o The unique combination in Omega 7 may stimulate your dry mucous membranes to begin producing your own secretions once again.
o It helps us to protect our mucous membranes against damage by free radicals, which may lead to ulceration of the digestive tract, and dryness of the genital tract lining (particularly if we are menopausal), the eyes and the mouth.
o It helps to promote tissue regeneration and anti-inflammatory action in the skin and mucosa.
o Omega 7 contains naturally occurring plant sterols (found in foods such as Benecol, aimed at reducing cholesterol).
o Also benefits from small amounts of vegetarian-friendly omega 3. And is rich in natural antioxidants - vitamin E, carotenoids (betacarotene).
What is Omega 7?
o It is orangey red oil that is extracted from the berries of the Sea Buckthorn. This is a Himalayan plant that is widely used in traditional oriental medicine.
o It contains the Omega 7 monounsaturated fatty acid. Olive oil, almond and avocado are examples of foods in this category.
o Contains small amounts of the fatty acids omega 3, 6 and 9
o Omega 7 helps to maintain healthy mucous membranes.
o Mucous membranes are your body's internal skin. It is the thin skin lining all our body cavities and canals that come into contact with the air, such as our nasal passage, eye lids and mouth, oesophagus, intestines and urino-genital tract.
o Healthy mucous membranes are usually moist tissues that are bathed by the your own body's secretions, such as saliva and vaginal fluids.
o Sometimes our body fails to produce enough of its own secretions and the mucous membranes can become dry, this can lead to great pain and discomfort.
Who would benefit from this supplement?
o Vaginal Dryness, which occurs most frequently during the menopause.
o Cervicitis - inflammation of the cervix
o Sjögren's syndrome - a chronic disease in which white blood cells attack the moisture-producing glands causing dry eyes and dry mouth.
o Dry eyes - especially if you wear contact lenses.
o Dry mouth
o Gastric Ulcers
o Celiac disease or leaky gut syndrome where your digestive lining has been damaged.
o High Cholesterol. Plant sterols block the absorption of cholesterol thereby lowering LDL cholesterol levels in the body.
