Hydra-7®

The sea buckthorn berry is a source of over 200 important nutrients, including vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial omega fatty acids, including Omega-3, -6, -9 and the relatively rare Omega-7. HyDra-7 is produced using a supercritical CO2 extraction method which yields high levels of the fatty acids without using harsh solvents.

Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides)
Clinically tested to promote moisture production and mucous membrane health, Sea Buckthorn helps promote healthy mucous membrane layers in the mouth and vagina, as well as supporting supple, healthy skin. The high antioxidant activity of sea buckthorn oil also helps protect cells from oxidative stress and promotes smoother, younger looking skin.*1-4

Hydra-7®

Sea buckthorn (Hippophaë rhamnoides) grows in western Europe and Asia in areas where other plants can’t survive – near the ocean coastline where they are exposed to salty sea spray, and semi-desert areas that are too dry for most plants. The branches of the sea buckthorn are very dense, stiff, and covered with thorns. Some companies harvest the berries by mechanically cutting the shrub down, freezing the branches, and shaking out the berries. However, this is not a sustainable practice as the bushes are frequently destroyed and freezing can damage or alter the key compounds in the berry. The sea buckthorn berries in HyDra-7™ are hand-harvested. This is very labor intensive but ensures that the plants survive to produce a crop year after year.

The sea buckthorn oil in HyDra-7® is an amazing ingredient. It is a source of over 200 important nutrients, including vitamins, antioxidants, and beneficial omega fatty acids, including Omega-3, -6, -9 and the relatively rare Omega-7.

The omega-7 – palmitoleic acid – in Hydra-7 helps retain moisture in the body where it is needed most. It is one of the major reasons why  HyDra-7 can rejuvenate skin and mucous membranes – the tissues which line the mouth, intestinal tract, eyes, and vaginal and urinary tracts.* You’ll appreciate the benefits:
