Launch non‑hormonal menopause relief with Omegia™
Women want science-backed, non‑prescription support for menopause—and they want it now. The latest State of Menopause report shows strong preference for clinically studied, non‑hormonal options at retail, with many delaying care because they can’t find trusted solutions.
Omegia™, Puredia’s vegan omega‑7 sea buckthorn oil, is a ready-to-formulate hero ingredient that squarely meets this demand with human clinical evidence, clean sourcing, and a clear, non‑hormonal mechanism.
Omegia™ is a standardized, supercritical CO2 extract of sea buckthorn fruit and seed oils grown on Puredia’s pristine Tibetan Plateau farm. Its lipid matrix—anchored by omega‑7 (palmitoleic acid) and supported by omegas 3, 6, and 9, beta‑carotene, vitamin E, and natural plant sterols—replenishes the lipids that decline with estrogen, helping maintain epithelial integrity, hydration, and regeneration across skin and mucous membranes without engaging estrogen receptors.
Key Findings:
Peer‑reviewed trials substantiate the benefits your customers expect. In a randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled study in postmenopausal women, oral sea buckthorn oil significantly improved gynecologist‑scored vaginal epithelial integrity versus placebo (odds ratio 3.1; 95% CI 1.11–8.95) with no change in vaginal pH or maturation index, indicating non‑estrogenic action (Maturitas 2014).
For beauty‑from‑within positioning, a three‑month oral trial showed robust gains in skin hydration (~49%), overall elasticity (~26%), and reductions in surface roughness consistent with visible wrinkle improvement (J Appl Cosmetol 2009).
Most importantly for branded‑ingredient relevance, a 12‑week randomized, double‑blind study using Omegia™ softgels at 500 mg/day in women 45+ reported instrument‑measured improvements in facial skin texture (−14.1%) and pore count (−14.6%) from baseline, with collagen density up 10%. Participants also reported better comfort in dry‑eye and vaginal symptoms, and blood markers reflected higher antioxidant catalase activity and a rise in HDL‑cholesterol from baseline (J Functional Foods 2024).
These outcomes translate into clear, compliant positioning for non‑hormonal menopause relief: support for vaginal epithelial integrity and comfort, hydration and elasticity benefits for skin with visible texture improvements, and broader mucosal comfort including dry‑eye support—grounded in human data.
Why Sea Buckthorn for Menopuase formulation?
Omegia™ is formulation‑ready for soft gels, vegan capsules, liquids, and micro encapsulated powders, with native tocopherols aiding oxidative stability and a naturally vibrant carotenoid hue that signals potency. It pairs seamlessly with hyaluronate or ceramides for hydration, collagen peptides for elasticity and wrinkles, lutein zeaxanthin for ocular comfort, and probiotics or vitamin D for genitourinary support, enabling targeted SKUs from GSM comfort to beauty‑from‑within and dry‑eye wellness.
