We’re hearing more and more about omega-7, a lesser-known type of fatty acid that is being studied for its potential role in metabolic health (diabetes, cholesterol, weight…) 💭

But between promising claims and scientific reality, it’s not always easy to know what to think.

👉 Have you heard of omega-7 before?
👉 Have you ever tried supplements or adjusted your diet to include it?
👉 Have you noticed any effects on your blood sugar, weight, or energy levels?

💬 Your feedback could help shed light on this topic 🤝 Thank you for sharing kindly 💛

Have a lovely day,
Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

I have never heard of Omega-7. I take the fish oil, however, for multi-purpose including anti-inflammation.

Omega-7 (mainly palmitoleic acid) indicates promising, evidence-based potential for improving metabolic health, in particular concerning inflammation and insulin sensitivity, in place of being only a transient health trend
