The compounds that make up vitamin E consist of two different types of molecule, tocopherols and tocotrienols. Each of those comes in four variants — alpha, beta, gamma and delta — each with a slightly different structure. Of the eight, only the alpha-tocopherol version is actively used by the human body. The remainder are filtered out by the liver and excreted in waste products. The alpha-tocopherol form of vitamin E is the one that’s predominant in hazelnuts and their oil.
A 100-gram portion of hazelnuts contains 15.03 milligrams of alpha-tocopherol, second only to the 25.87 milligrams in almonds. In more practical terms, a 1-ounce snack portion of hazelnuts provides 4.2 milligrams of vitamin E, or 20 percent of your daily value. A study published in 2012 in the European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology found similar levels of alpha-tocopherol in multiple samples of hazelnut oil.

Hazelnuts have a number of benefits aside from their vitamin E content. They’re also a source of B vitamins, notably thiamine, and a number of minerals. Just 1 ounce of hazelnuts contains 86 percent of your DV for manganese, used in the production of sex hormones and the metabolism of fat. They’re also a good source of copper, magnesium and iron.
Heart Health, The high oleic acid content in macadamia nut oil (even higher than olive oil) makes it important for rebalancing your cholesterol levels and actually reducing the levels of triglycerides in the blood. Macadamia nut oil has balanced Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids making it optimal for the human body as a source of these fats.
Pumpkin Seed Oil for Hair Loss, A study found that when men took 400 milligrams of pumpkin seed oil per day (in capsule form) for 24 weeks, they saw an increase in hair growth. Those who took pumpkin seed oil saw a 40 percent increase in hair count, whereas men who took a placebo saw a 10 percent increase in hair count.
Regulates Cholesterol, One of the most widely known benefits of almond oil is its ability to regulate cholesterol. Regular consumption of almond oil raises HDL (“good” cholesterol), lowers LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and generally lowers overall cholesterol levels naturally. With high unsaturated fat content and vitamin E, almond oil allows oxygen and nutrients to flow freely through the blood stream.
Olive oil is rich in vitamin E, a fat soluble vitamin that supports normal nerve conduction and plays a role in immunity. It is also a good source of vitamin K, which is another fat soluble vitamin that is responsible for blood clotting.
Improved Brain Function, Omega-3 fats help build brain cell membranes, promote new brain cell formation and reduce overall brain inflammation. This will help to improve your mood and memory and can often protect against certain brain disorders like depression and dementia. Because Organic Chia Seed Oil contains large quantities of Omega-3, it’s the perfect supplement to take daily to experience these brain-boosting benefits.
Sesame oil has natural antibacterial, antiviral and antioxidant properties, and many studies prove its therapeutic and health-promoting benefits
Cholesterol Improvement, Daily consumption of walnuts has a positive effect on cholesterol levels, without increasing body weight. Studies found that after 1 year of adding a handful of walnuts to your daily diet significantly lowers levels of LDL cholesterol compared to those those consuming their usual diet.
Hemp Seed Oil Fights Inflammation, Hemp seed oil is rich in GLA (gamma linoleic acid), which is an omega-6 fat that boosts immunity and fights inflammation. GLA works by promoting the production of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like chemicals that control inflammation. The oil is also a good source of plant-based protein, making it all the more beneficial for inflammatory conditions. Hemp seed oil has also been found to treat multiple sclerosis, which can be caused by inflammation.
