Omega 7

Definition: Omega-7 fatty acids, most commonly found as palmitoleic acid, are a class of monounsaturated fats found in specific sources like sea buckthorn oil and macadamia nuts. They function as signaling molecules known as lipokines, which help regulate systemic metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity by modulating adipose tissue inflammation. These supplements are frequently used to support the health of skin and mucous membranes, particularly for alleviating dryness in the eyes, mouth, and vaginal tissues.
