AVELOR SUMMARY
Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid, 16:1n-7) is a monounsaturated fatty acid from sea buckthorn berry and macadamia nut oil. Provinal® (purified palmitoleic acid) reduced CRP by 44% and triglycerides by 15% in a 2014 Cleveland Clinic study. Also: improved vaginal dryness in postmenopausal women (sea buckthorn oil, 3g/day). May act as a lipokine — a hormone-like lipid that signals between adipose tissue and liver. Small evidence base but interesting mechanism.
