Argan Seeds

Lowers Cholesterol – Lowers blood pressure – Improves endothelial dysfunction

Discover the ancient secret of the Berbers: “The Argan Seed” , the most purest and concentrated way to consume Argan oil.

Traditionally hand-pressed Argan oil, obtained from Argania spinosa seeds, is eaten raw in South-West Morocco. Its rich composition of tocopherols, MUFA and PUFA make a study of its actions on risk factors for Cardiovascular Diseases, such as hypertension, interesting. The effects of 7 weeks of treatment with Argan oil (10 ml/kg) on the blood pressure and endothelial function were investigated.

In the clinical research the systolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured every week. Besides, the endothelial function was assessed by carbachol (10(-8) to 10(-4) M)-induced relaxations of aortic rings and small mesenteric arteries pre-contracted with phenylephrine. Argan-oil administration reduced the mean blood pressure after the fifth week of treatment (P<0.05) and increased (P<0.01) the endothelial responses of arteries.
