Argan oil, a real treasure, is produced from the kernel of the fruit of the argan tree, a tree nicknamed by Moroccans "Liquid Gold of the Desert or Tree of a Thousand Virtues". It is known for its various pharmacological properties and used as a natural remedy and in traditional cooking for several centuries.
The one we offer is based on carefully selected kernels of the argan tree (hand-picked, in the traditional way) in order to offer you an oil of exceptional, rare and precious quality. It comes from the Ajddigue cooperative, created in 1997 in the rural commune of Tidzi in the province of Essaouira in Morocco, whose main objective is to help and improve the income of its 17 women members in order to produce, valorize and market the products of the Argan oil.
Its composition
Argan oil (rich in antioxidant compounds and unsaturated fats) is composed of 99% triglycerides - 45% oleic acid and 34% linoleic acid, while the remaining 1% contains very active biological compounds such as vitamin E, carotenoids, sterols and polyphenols.
Its benefits
The above composition of argan oil is the source of many health benefits that are described in the literature, mainly on the cardiovascular system, osteoarthritis associated with pain and also has a hypolipidemic effect as well as other metabolic parameters such as antidiabetic and antihypertensive. Promising results on the benefits of argan oil on nerve cells and neurological diseases have also been shown.
This information was reported in abstracts and grouped into presentations at a conference whose objective was to provide participants with a valuable opportunity to present and discuss their research and present new technologies. The topics address current international issues and raise awareness of the uses and prospects of research on the beneficial effects of argan oil.1
