How do sea buckthorn oil capsules differ from liquid oil, and what makes them special?

VITATEKA Astelpajuõli kapslid Forte 500mg are capsules with cold-pressed oil obtained from sea buckthorn berries and seeds. Using both parts of the plant matters: the berries and the seeds have different fatty acid profiles, so the resulting composition is more varied than when only one raw material is used.

Cold pressing preserves the natural composition of the oil without harsh heat treatment. The capsules contain:

• Omega-3 and omega-6 — polyunsaturated fatty acids that are part of the structure of cell membranes.
• Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) — a rare fatty acid found in significant amounts in sea buckthorn in particular and practically absent from most other vegetable oils.
• Tocopherols — natural antioxidants that help protect the oil itself from oxidation inside the capsule.

Compared with liquid oil, the capsules need no measuring, leave no taste or smell, are convenient when travelling and do not require any special utensils. This is a food supplement to complement the diet, not a substitute for a balanced diet and not a medicine.
