Tag: Omega 7 fatty acids

Research suggests that palmitoleic acid, an omega-7 fatty acid found in sources like macadamia nuts and sea buckthorn oil, is generally considered safe for consumption and has been associated with metabolic benefits in numerous studies. As a signaling molecule in the body, its effects are distinct from its saturated counterpart, palmitic acid, and depend heavily on context and balance with other dietary fats.

According to research, the pulp oil from sea buckthorn berries can contain remarkably high levels of palmitoleic acid, a type of Omega-7 fatty acid. This makes sea buckthorn one of the most potent plant-based sources of this sought-after fatty acid.
