In Tibet, sea buckthorn oil is called the oil of life.

It also lowers the level of C-reactive protein (CRP), which is associated with inflammation of the arteries.
Sea buckthorn oil has a great effect on the digestive tract.
By creating a healing protective layer around the stomach and digestive tract, it reduces the harmful effects of pathogens, such as Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori.
An important role in weight loss
Are you suffering from weight problems?
Sea buckthorn oil is one of the best supplements for weight loss.
Omega 7 fatty acids from this oil signal the body not to use excess calories from meals for the creation and accumulation of fat cells.
Studies prove that intake of Omega 7 fatty acids reduces appetite because it increases levels of the hormone cholecystokinin (CCK), which gives a sensation of fullness.
Clinical studies have shown that it is also effective in dissolution of existing fat deposits as it helps the formation of enzymes that burn fat.
It helps to maintain the body's sensitivity to insulin, which is decreased in type 2 diabetes.
Sensitivity to insulin plays an important role in helping the body to convert glucose into energy instead of storing it in fat cells.
Studies show that Omega 7 helps with slow metabolism, because it mimics the hormone that regulates systemic metabolic activity.
Whether it comes to excess weight, cholesterol or any other problems - reach for a bottle of medicinal sea buckthorn oil.
