Vegan Omega-7 from sea buckthorn for your daily routine
Vegan Omega-7 Sea Buckthorn Oil 500mg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement in vegan softgels made from sea buckthorn fruit extract, a plant-based source highly valued for its natural content of palmitoleic acid, the most representative fatty acid in the Omega-7 family.
At HSN, we wanted to create a vegan version of our sea buckthorn Omega-7, keeping the most important part of the original formula: a 5:1 concentrated extract standardized to 35% palmitoleic acid, now in a convenient plant-based softgel, free from animal gelatin.
Omega-7 isn’t as well-known as omega-3, omega-6, or omega-9, but that’s exactly what makes it so interesting. It’s a less common fatty acid in the diet, naturally found in very specific sources. Among them, sea buckthorn stands out for its lipid profile and the value of its fruits, which concentrate a characteristic combination of fatty acids and natural compounds unique to this plant.
A different, plant-based omega, easy to take, designed for those who want to complement their diet with a concentrated source of palmitoleic acid.
What is Omega-7 and why do we use sea buckthorn?
When we talk about Omega-7, we refer to a family of monounsaturated fatty acids. The most well-known in this family is palmitoleic acid, a lipid naturally present in some vegetable and marine oils, although it’s not usually found in significant amounts in the most common foods in the diet.
That’s why choosing the right source is important. In this product, we use sea buckthorn fruit extract, obtained from Hippophae rhamnoides, a plant whose berries are known for their nutritional profile and natural richness in lipid compounds. Not all vegetable oils provide relevant amounts of Omega-7; that’s why we rely on a concentrated and standardized raw material, which allows you to clearly know what each softgel provides.
Also, sea buckthorn fits especially well with a nutritional care routine. It’s a very interesting option for people who already know other dietary supplements, like omega-3, collagen, hyaluronic acid, biotin or zinc, and specifically look for omega-7.
What makes it different? Sea buckthorn Omega-7 isn’t just “a vegetable oil.” In this formula, we use a 5:1 extract standardized to 35% palmitoleic acid, which lets us offer a defined amount of Omega-7 in each softgel.
Supports cholesterol care
Sea buckthorn oil stands out for its content of unsaturated fatty acids, including palmitoleic acid (Omega-7).
Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids are unsaturated fats).
HSN quality: standardized extract and vegan softgel
One of the most important points in an Omega-7 product is knowing how much palmitoleic acid it really provides. That’s why at HSN we don’t just indicate the oil source: we use a 5:1 sea buckthorn fruit extract oil, standardized to 35% palmitoleic acid. This means each 500mg softgel provides 175mg of Omega-7 and is equivalent to 2500mg of sea buckthorn fruit.
Standardization is important because it provides consistency. In other words: we’re not talking about a generic oil, but a selected raw material to guarantee a specific palmitoleic acid content. This makes it easier for you to know what you’re taking and compare product quality with maximum transparency.
We’ve also taken care of the format. Since it’s an oil, the softgel is one of the most practical presentation forms: it helps protect the content, avoids the strong taste of the oil, and allows for easy intake. In this version, we go a step further with a vegan softgel, made without animal gelatin, ideal for those looking for a plant-based alternative without giving up the convenience of traditional softgels.
Choosing a vegan softgel also responds to a growing demand: cleaner, simpler formulas aligned with consumers avoiding animal-derived ingredients. That’s why this version is especially attractive for vegans, vegetarians, or anyone who simply prefers supplements with a more plant-based composition, avoiding gelatins.
Clean label formula: we go for a simple composition, with sea buckthorn extract oil and a functional plant-based softgel, no colorants, no preservatives, no fillers, and no unnecessary additives.
For those looking for more than just omega-7
Many people already know omega-3 from fish oil or algae oil, omega-6 from seed oils or nuts, and omega-9 from foods like olive oil. However, Omega-7 is still less common, making it a particularly interesting option for those wanting to complement their diet with a different fatty acid.
This product is designed for people looking for a simple daily care routine, hassle-free, with one of the best sources of this fatty acid. It fits both beginners in supplements and more advanced users who value technical aspects like ingredient source, concentration, standardization, presentation form, and clean label formula.
At HSN, we made it easy to understand and easy to use: a plant-based source of Omega-7, with a clear concentration, a comfortable vegan softgel, and a clean composition.
Who do we recommend Omega-7 for?
This dietary supplement can be a great option for those looking for a plant-based source of monounsaturated fatty acids and want to add Omega-7 to their daily routine.
It can be especially interesting if you already follow a supplementation routine and want to improve it with a concentrated vegetable oil standardized in palmitoleic acid.
Also, since it doesn’t include added micronutrients, it’s a very versatile formula. This makes it easy to combine with other dietary supplements, especially useful for those already taking multivitamins or complex formulas with many ingredients.
Vegan Omega-7 is for those who want a clear formula: concentrated sea buckthorn, standardized palmitoleic acid, and a comfortable plant-based softgel for everyday use.
How to take it and integrate it into your routine
Since it’s an oil in softgels, we recommend taking it following the package instructions, preferably always at the same time of day. This kind of use helps integrate it easily into the daily routine and is especially convenient for people who already take other supplements with breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
It doesn’t have a strong taste like liquid oil might, requires no preparation, and doesn’t need to be mixed with specific foods or drinks. You simply add it to your routine like any other softgel supplement, with the advantage that this one is vegan and a plant-based source of Omega-7.
As with all oil products, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place protected from light. Stability is important in lipid products, so the softgel format and proper storage help maintain product quality throughout its shelf life.
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between this Omega-7 and an omega-3?
They are different families of fatty acids. Omega-3 includes EPA, DHA, and ALA, while Omega-7 is mainly characterized by palmitoleic acid. This product is designed for those who want to add a less common but also important fatty acid to their routine, coming from a quality plant-based source like sea buckthorn.
Why is it important that it’s standardized to 35% palmitoleic acid?
Because standardization lets you know the real Omega-7 content. In our softgels, each 500mg unit provides 175mg of palmitoleic acid. This adds transparency and helps better assess product quality.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. This version is made in vegan softgels, without animal gelatin, so it’s suitable for people looking for a plant-based alternative.
Does it contain fish?
No. It’s made from sea buckthorn fruit extract oil, a plant-based source of Omega-7. It’s an interesting alternative for those who don’t want to take marine-origin oils.
Can it be combined with other dietary supplements?
Yes. It can be combined with all kinds of dietary supplements. Its formula is simple and versatile, requiring no special considerations.
What does it mean that it’s a 5:1 extract?
It means it’s a concentrated extract. In this case, each 500mg softgel is equivalent to 2500mg of sea buckthorn fruit, allowing the ingredient’s contribution to be concentrated in a convenient format.
Does it have a taste?
Since it’s presented in softgels, the oil is encapsulated, making it a more comfortable option than liquid oil and avoiding the characteristic taste of the raw material.
