Which Brand of Sea Buckthorn Oil for weight loss?

Remember that you are looking for sea buckthorn products that include fruit berry oils so that you get the Omega-7 fatty acids that may contribute to weight loss or weight maintenance. Be aware that products listed as simply powdered sea buckthorn berries may contain unreliable amounts, if any at all, of Omega 7 fatty acids and may not be the best choice.

Some sea buckthorn oil products list the amount of Omega 7 as a minimum percentage of total berry oil weight so you have to do the math. The Omega-7 fatty acid will be listed as palmitoleic acid. For example, the label on New Chapter Supercritical Omega-7 states: 350mg of Sea Buckthorn Fruit Supercritical Extract (min 20% palmitoleic acid)

New Chapter Supercritical Omega-7 contains both seed and berry oils, with more than 3 times berry oil than seed oil per capsule. This product retails for $56.95 for 60 capsules but can be purchased for 40% off on Amazon and Vitacost. Based on the label info above, each capsule contains a minimum of 70mg of Omega 7 fatty acids. New Chapter suggests taking between 1 and 4 capsules per day.

Seabuckwonders offers your choice of capsules containing just the berry oil, just seed oil, or a blend. The cost per serving of this brand is similar to the other brands listed on this page. However each serving of Seabuckwonders contains much more Omega 7 and appears to be a better value.

Seabuckwonders Omega 7 Complete is a blend of seed and berry oils with a higher concentration of Omega 7. Each 2 capsule serving contains 246mg Omega 7. Retail is $30 for 60 capsules or $1.00 per serving
Seabuckwonders Berry Oil comes in drops and contains 35 drops per bottle. Each drop contains 300 to 350mg Omega 7 and retails for $24.95.
Seabuckwonders Berry Blend capsules are similar to their Omega 7 complete, with the same amount of Omega 7 and cost per serving.
Sibu Beauty offers both juice and oil capsules. Sibu Sea Buckthorn Juice is not a pure sea buckthorn juice, but also contains other juices such as apple juice and white grape juice. We were told by Sibu Beauty that each 1 ounce serving of juice contains about 140mg of Omega-7 fatty acids though we were warned that the amount could vary widely since it is a natural juice product. We were advised that the oil capsules were more measured, containing between 144 and 201mg of Omega-7 per 900mg total weight serving. Two capsules make One serving. As a cost reference, the juice contains 25 servings and retails for $29.95, or $1.20 per serving. Their package of capsules contains 30 servings (2 capsules per serving) and retails for $29.95 or $1.00 per serving. These products can be purchased on Amazon or Vitacost and other sites for slightly less than retail.

Futurebiotics Omega-7 Plus Vegetarian capsules containing multiple sources of Omega 7 fatty acids including sea buckthorn oil, macadamia nut oil, and Gevuina avellana Nut Oil. Retail cost is $24.95 for 30 capsules, though the actual price is about half of that on most websites that sell it such as Vitacost and LuckyVitamin. Each capsule contains 103 to 174 mg of Omega 7.

So far, it seems that SeabuckWonders brand offers much more Omega 7 per serving so you get more bang for your buck
