Question 1

how much palmitic acid is in this product and what percentage of the total is this.

Accepted Answer

Hello Scott, We don't test for levels of palmitic acid on our product. Sea buckthorn berry oil typically has about 20% palmitic acid. We have noticed misinformation about palmitic acid in sea buckthorn circulating and we just want to over a few basics with you.  Palmitic acid is the most common fatty acid found in plants and animals. It already exists naturally in our bodies. Our bodies can create palmitic acid with excess carbohydrates and our bodies use these fat cells to store energy.There have been clinical studies that show that isolated palmitic acid in high amounts can be harmful. Under the circumstances of a lab setting, palmitic acid can do some damage but those circumstances are completely different than when you eat palmitic acid in a natural way (not isolated or in high amounts).That’s because when palmitic acid is in its natural state (alongside other nutrients and vitamins) it is not harmful in the least. Not to mention that the chances of you ever getting isolated palmitic acid in your body is slim to none; unless of course you are a lab rat. Unfortunately, there are some companies who have chosen to misrepresent this information in order to sell products. They say that Omega-7 that is not purified (often fish oil products) won’t give you the same benefits.Sea buckthorn oil is the best source of omega 7 and doesn't need to be purified. Palmitic acid is only dangerous for you if you isolated and concentrated it in very high amounts- which would be impossible outside of a lab setting. Please let us know if you have more questions. We have a few articles in reference to this on our website as well. Thank you.

Question 2

Why are the omega quantities expressed as percentages instead of grams as you see with every other supplement?

Accepted Answer

Hello there, 
We recently got access to all of our previous customer emails and wanted to respond to your post, even though it's over a year old. Thank you for your feed back on the packaging. We have gotten a lot of similar feed back about the nutrition facts panel being confusing to read. We will definitely take your comments into consideration for future versions of our labeling and appreciate your feedback. Sorry for the confusion! Please let us know if you have further questions that we can assist you with.

Thank you

Question 3

Dies this brand have sba24 in it?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

SBA24 is a branded blend of sea buckthorn seed and berry oil. Our Omega 7 Complete product is just that- a blend of sea buckthorn seed and berry oil. While it is a trademark and branded ingredient- it's actually the exact same thing as what is in SeabuckWonders Omega 7 Complete.  Looking at the nutrition panels of the SBA24 products, we found that you'll be getting a higher dose of omega 7 in our product if you follow the serving size. There doesn't seem to be any difference in this branded blend and our blend- except for possibly speaking of the quality of the oil in SBA24.

While we can't speak to the quality of the SBA24 oil- since it's not clear how it's farmed or where it's sourced from, we can tell you more about our process.

We own our crop of sea buckthorn trees in the Tibetan Himalayas. Our crop is grown 100% Organically and our pure oils are USDA and Non-GMO product certified (Omega 7 complete does not have these certifications because they aren't available for the kosher certified gel cap that we use in our products- but we do still use the certified oils inside the caps). We use state of the art extraction processes by Supercritical C02 Extraction which preserves much of the natural contents of the original plant- including fatty acids and other nutrients/ antioxidants. Our entire product chain is managed by us from farming to the final product and we regularly submit our products for third party inspection to ensure quality.

According to what we can tell from the marketing of SBA24 products, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference- except that they do not share how the oils are farmed, extracted, or certified. You may want to ask the brand about those issues to help make your decision.  Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to assist and thanks for your great question!

Question 4

Is the kosher gelatin bovine (beef)? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

I assume it's from bovine sources, but this isn't Kosher. It's a bogus symbol that is meaningless. I asked my Rabbi. If you eat strictly Kosher, make sure that the certifying agency is legitimate.
