Benefits of Omega 7’s

Honestly, I've heard plenty about Omega 3, 6, and 9, but Omega 7 came as a surprise to me. It's worth noting that all of these are beneficial for your health. However, if you're someone like me who consumes cannabis, you're probably familiar with the irritating side effect of dry eyes, nose, and mouth, commonly known as cottonmouth. It can definitely put a damper on your elevated experience.

That's why I've been diving into the world of Omega 7. They play a role in keeping mucous membranes (nasal, ocular, and oral) well-hydrated. A definite win for those of us who appreciate plant medicine.

So, what exactly is Omega 7? It's a monounsaturated fatty acid, differing from its polyunsaturated Omega 3 and 6 counterparts. While it's considered non-essential, meaning your body produces it, ensuring an adequate supply is crucial to reap its health benefits.

How can you incorporate Omega 7 into your diet? You can obtain it from foods or supplements. I recommend upping your intake of foods like olive oil, macadamia nut oil, avocados, and oily fish such as salmon and anchovies. Sea buckthorn is among the richest sources. If you're a regular cannabis consumer, consider supplementing with Omega 7 to enhance your experience.

Here's to making your next sesh even more enjoyable!
