Review on Omega-7 Complete Sea Buckthorn Oil Blend Softgels By SeabuckWonders - 60 Count (500Mg Each) by Angeline Darpino

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Powerful stuff, but watch your B12

This stuff works -- for a lot of things. I purchased them to help mainly with dry eye issues, and also for dry skin everywhere else. It worked beautifully -- I took the suggested dosage as directed daily for a few months.BUT -- After my annual physical blood work this year, I learned that sea buckthorn oil (especially a quality product like this) is very high in supplemental B12. Sounds good . but wait .My doctor was shocked at how high my B12 levels were -- nearly 2,000, which is very unusual. Normal levels are somewhere between 300 - 900, depending on the lab. Problem is, elevated B12 levels can sometimes indicate a very serious health problem. Or, it could mean that you're simply over-supplementing. But you can't assume anything.So my doctor had me list everything I was taking in the way of supplements, and then had me stop taking them for several weeks. After that, I had to return for a repeat blood test for B12. After stopping my ordinary multi-vitamin AND this product, my B12 levels went back down to the 600 range, which is normal. I was very worried until I was retested.
