Plant-based Omega fatty acids and plant sterols
Omega–3
Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega–3) is a plant-based polyunsaturated fatty acid that must be consumed with food. It is found in various plants, flax seeds, hemp seeds and sage, nuts, including sea buckthorn seeds. Epidemiological studies have hypothesized that alpha-linolenic acid is an essential nutrient that helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.1
The Lyon Diet Heart Study concluded that patients following Mediterranean dietary habits had a 50–70% reduction in the risk of recurrent cardiovascular disease over a four-year follow-up period.2
Moreover, in a GISSI (Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell’Infarto miocardico) study, it was observed that following the dietary habits of the Mediterranean diet and additionally using 1 gram of Omega–3 fatty acids per day, a 30% reduction in mortality from cardiovascular diseases was observed and the risk of sudden death from cardiovascular diseases was reduced by 45%.2
Omega–6
Linoleic acid (Omega–6) is an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid that is found in various plants, sesame, hemp, sea buckthorn seeds, as well as various nuts. Linoleic acid is necessary for the normal growth and development of the body.3 Linoleic acid is a precursor for the synthesis of arachidonic acid in the body, which is an important fatty acid for ensuring the functioning of the nervous system, hormone synthesis, and other physiological processes.4 Omega–6 fatty acids are necessary for the normal course of inflammation reduction.
Omega–9
Oleic acid (Omega–9) is a monounsaturated fatty acid, which is the main (up to 79%) component of olive oil.5 Epidemiological studies have shown that consuming monounsaturated fatty acids, especially olive oil, which is rich in oleic acid, reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases.6 Sea buckthorn seed oil also is a source of oleic acid.
Plant sterols (beta-sitosterol)
Plant sterols, including beta-sitosterol, are found in plant products, mostly in nuts and seeds. The molecular structure of plant sterols is very similar to cholesterol, so when they enter the intestinal tract, they compete with cholesterol for absorption into the blood. Thus, consuming products with plant sterols, including sea buckthorn, may reduce your dietary cholesterol.7,8
