Frequently Asked Questions

Sea buckthorn fruit oil is where all of the omega-7 is. Omega-7 is only useful to human health when consumed. So buy fruit oil for omega-7 and antioxidant benefits. Seed oil is best for topical use. It has properties that are useful when consumed as well, but it has virtually no omega-7.

Sibu Pure (juice) is whole, pulped sea buckthorn berries in a bottle. 100% organic with no water or preservatives added. Our softgels are 100% sea buckthorn oil extracted from the berries. The juice contains more bioactive compounds and about 2.5x more omega-7 than the softgels, but has a tart, astringent taste. For omega-7 benefits without the taste, we suggest softgels.

Omega-7 Plus contains fruit oil (omega-7) plus plant-based omega-3 DHA and vitamin D3 instead of seed oil. It combines multiple benefits in one softgel and saves money on separate supplements.
