Product Overview
Omega-7, or palmitoleic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid most commonly sourced from sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) berry and seed oil, and in some formulations from macadamia or anchovy-derived oils. Unlike the more familiar omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, omega-7 is a naturally occurring fat that the body also produces in small amounts, and it is captured commercially through cold-pressing or extraction of the source oil, then encapsulated in a softgel for consistent, oxidation-protected delivery.
Palmitoleic acid supplements are commonly formulated as a source of omega-7 to support skin and mucosal membrane comfort, along with general metabolic wellness, and have grown into their own distinct fatty-acid category separate from omega-3 and omega-6 offerings.* Sea buckthorn-derived omega-7 in particular is prized for carrying naturally occurring carotenoids and tocopherols alongside the fatty acid itself.
How Brands Use Omega-7 (Palmitoleic Acid)
- Sourced from sea buckthorn oil for a distinct fatty-acid profile compared to fish or flax oils
- Positioned as a companion or alternative to omega-3 softgels in a broader fatty-acid product line
- Marketed for skin and mucosal membrane comfort as well as metabolic wellness support
- Standardized palmitoleic acid content per softgel supports clear, consistent label claims
- Softgel format preserves the oil's stability and neutralizes fishy or grassy off-notes from the source material
Private label brands typically request a defined palmitoleic acid percentage and sea buckthorn oil sourcing detail for their Supplement Facts panel, along with a softgel size that fits their existing omega line packaging. Omega-7 is also frequently formulated alongside vitamin E or other lipid-soluble antioxidants to help stabilize the finished softgel.
Health Genesis manufactures omega-7 softgels at our FDA-registered, GMP-certified, and NSF-certified facility in Davie, Florida. As a family-owned company with more than 25 years in nutritional oil manufacturing, we support low minimum order quantities and in-house label design so newer fatty-acid brands can launch alongside established ones.
Is Omega-7 the same as fish oil or omega-3?
No. Omega-7 (palmitoleic acid) is a distinct monounsaturated fatty acid, most often sourced from sea buckthorn, and is formulated separately from omega-3 fish oil products, though the two are sometimes marketed side by side in a fatty-acid line.
