Hi Lori,
I'm looking into these too.....sounds like they are recommended for Sjogrens sufferers.  I'll let you know if I find any without the extra stuff.  I read that we should look for the Sea Buckthorn oil and seeds together because both are good.

thanks Gold, thats what i read too- i found a site thatt may be good- gonna have a healthfood store order it for me, if they can- will let you know!!!

thanks

I was looking at this too..sounds good for us, the extra moisture in the mucous membranes?

New chapter makes one...but I think this is the one with the rosemary in it. I def want to try it.

This is the one I'm going to buy.  It has everything in it and it's the one Dr. Oz recommended.

I saw this show on Dr. Oz.  Can you all report back and let us know if you feel it helps.  It sounded like it could help with constipation.

Thanks,

Hi Lori,
I ordered it too......I was thinking about taking 1 - 500mg pill daily but being that we have SJS dryness should we be taking two??  I noticed you don't have to take this with food....wow!  I'm gaining weight taking my pills with food and more food!!  I sure hope these help.  Jill

I wonder if we can take too many oils (omega's 3,6,7,9 etc)

Oh yes, menopause can cause extreme dryness everywhere, just like SS..the mucous membranes.
Im going nuts..between SS/Lupus and menopause, Im a dried out prune..not even funny...seems this might
work in the mucous membranes so i guess it works a try?

Hi there,
I started taking the sea bucktorn liquid about a week and a half ago. It is by Genisis, 100 percent sea buckthorn, oil, juice and pulp. The one from New Chapter has palm oil in it and I am allergic to coconut so I steer clear of ny palm stuff.

Anyway, take one ounce in the AM  and one ounce in the  afternoon, probably equals 400 mg total ofthe omega 7. Anyway I have noticed in just this short time, it has helpled with my very small patch of rosacea on my forehead and my skin overall is feeling smoother. Also helps a bit with constipation too.

I am looking to find the Sibu brand of capsules because the liquid tastes pretty bad. Kind of like molassas that has turned sour :-( yuk.

Hi Guys,
I just got mine in the mail yesterday so....I took my first capsule (on an empty stomach) this morning.  Hope it sets well as I have to go to work.  I'm going to go ahead and take my omega 3 cap with food as usual but I think I'll substitute this sea buckthorn for my usual bio tears gel cap 2x daily and see if I notice anything different.  Right now I have been doing well on those Centrum Omega 3 tiny gel caps....I've been on them for a month and with the bio tears I felt that on most days I had more saliva and tears and most of all....my feet have been in way less pain.  I think these fish oils really thin our blood so it's probably the effect of taking ibuprofen for the joints!  Over the weekend I had to compose a grant for my Telemedicine Program and of course I was nervous with eyes plastered to the computer.  I did very well on Saturday (moisture-wise), got rather dry on Sunday and then did fair on Monday but got the grant and the budget done!!!!! 
I don't think I could have done all that work without super dryness if I wasn't taking these Omegas and the bio tears gelcaps!!  I was cheating with food too.....all comfort foods to get my brain working and those are the worst for inflammation but I made it through and I should be submitting it on Thursday!! 
I'll keep you all posted on the sea buckthorn results.  I may break one of the caps open to use it on my facial lines
