How do you take VITATEKA sea buckthorn oil orally, and what can it be combined with? — Sea Buckthorn Oil, 100ml - Vitateka

VITATEKA Astelpajuõli 100 ml is intended for internal and external use. To take it orally, you can take it from a spoon or mix it with yoghurt, porridge, cottage cheese or another small portion of cold food. The sunflower base makes the taste milder, and the liquid form means you do not need capsules. It is best not to add the oil to hot dishes: when strongly heated, oils change their taste and properties, so it is more practical to add it to food that is already prepared.

It contains omega-3, omega-6, omega-9 and omega-7 fatty acids, as well as carotenoids, vitamin E and flavonoids. The bright orange colour of the oil comes from carotenoids, including beta-carotene. This oil can be seen as an addition to your usual diet, not as a replacement for a varied diet.

If you have not taken oils before or know that you have a sensitive stomach, it is sensible to discuss taking it with a specialist first. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, with chronic conditions or when taking medicines, a doctor's advice is also needed beforehand.
