The Benefits of Sea Buckthorn & Omega 7 for Women & Feminine Health

The Miracle Berry for Feminine Health
Being healthy is something that all people want. It provides a solid platform on which life can be optimally experienced and enjoyed. Obtaining and, perhaps more importantly, sustaining health is an individual journey each person takes.
For women, this process can vary dramatically depending on their stage of life.
For example, the monthly cycle of a young teen, recently beginning menses, looks nothing like that of the same woman in her mid-twenties and is worlds apart from where she’ll be during menopause.
Understanding, better yet celebrating, the range of experiences being a woman entails is a sensible way to approach seeking female health. Still, it’s nice to discover tools that are beneficial at any stage in life. In this article, we’ll discuss one such tool, through an exploration of the benefits of sea buckthorn for feminine health.
What Does Sea Buckthorn Provide for Women?
Sea buckthorn is a deciduous shrub native to Europe, Northern Asia, and China. It has bright orange-yellow fruit and has been used as a food source and in traditional medicine for centuries.(1) This long-standing medicinal use makes sense given the incredibly varied content of this remarkable plant.
According to an article for Lipids in Health and Disease, sea buckthorn contains around 190 bioactive compounds such as:
- Multiple fatty acids- including the rare omega-7
- Sterols
- 14 Vitamins- including C, A, and the B-complex
- Powerful antioxidants- including flavonols and polyphenols
- Fruit acids
- 11 mineral salts- including iron, calcium, selenium, and zinc
- 18 amino acids (2)
In other words, this tiny pea-sized berry is a complete powerhouse.
