Sea Buckthorn Supplements

About sea buckthorn

Sea buckthorn is a hardy orange berry whose oil is unusually rich in fatty acids — most notably omega-7 (palmitoleic acid), which is rare in the plant world — along with omega-3, -6 and -9 and antioxidants like vitamin C, carotenoids and vitamin E. Both the berry (fruit) and the seeds are pressed for oil.

What people use sea buckthorn for

Sea buckthorn is used most often to help maintain healthy skin, both taken internally and applied topically. Its omega-7 content is the main draw for people interested in fatty-acid support. A lot of people also first look into sea buckthorn for dry, tired eyes and for hair — common reasons it gets searched.

Forms — oil, softgels, seed oil and topicals

You'll find sea buckthorn as convenient oil softgels, as liquid seed and berry oil you can take by the spoon or add to food, and as topical skin-care oils. Certified-organic options are common. Seed oil and berry (fruit) oil have slightly different fatty-acid profiles, so some people use both.
