What is Provinal?

Provinal Omega 7 is a novel, patented and clinically-substantiated monounsaturated fatty-acid ingredient targeting the prevention and reversal of dyslipidemia, and cardio-metabolic disorders. Provinal Omega 7 is a naturally-occurring highly purified monounsaturated fatty acid. Preclinical and clinical evidence has demonstrated a broad range of benefits bridging the treatment gap in highly prevalent disorders with special emphasis on lipid management.

Omega 7 (purified palmitoleic acid) oil of palmitate can potentially help in the fight against diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis. In this 4-minute video, Dr. Michael F. Roizen, frequent contributor on the Dr. Oz show and Chairman of the Wellness Institute of The Cleveland Clinic, explores the beneficial effects of Provinal on the management of atherosclerosis, its causes and consequences: heart disease, stroke, memory loss, impotence, and wrinkling.

Purified Omega 7 has been shown to decrease insulin resistance, decrease hepatic fat accumulation, and decrease acute and chronic inflammation with no known side effects.
