Dryness

Dryness is tied to the health of our mucous membranes which protect the digestive, respiratory and urogenital tracts by ensuring adequate moisture.

Healthy mucous membrane protect from:

- Dry eyes

- Dry mouth

- Sjogren’s syndrome

- Vaginal dryness and urinary tract infections

- Damaged mucosa of the stomach and the intestine

- Dry skin including eczema and dermatitis

Sea buckthorn berry and seed contain a wide range of fatty acids, especially cis-vaccenic acid and palmitoleic acid, also known as omega 7. Omega 7 has been shown to reduce symptoms associated with vaginal dryness, dry eyes and dry skin. Omega 7 supplementation is an effective treatment for intimate lubrication that can help with the feeling of dryness and irritation of the urinary system and genitals. This is particularly important as intimate dryness can lead to painful intercourse and loss of libido, especially in women. Vaginal dryness is a key symptom of the menopause. As oestrogen levels drop, women experience a reduction or cessation of the natural lubrication brought about by this hormone.
