Health benefits:
- The Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids found in sesame oil help improve the cardiovascular, reproductive, endocrine, and nervous systems, normalize fat metabolism and blood sugar levels, strengthen the immune system, reduce the risk of cancer, and neutralize harmful substances in the body (toxins, carcinogens, heavy metal salts, radionuclides).
- Sesame oil is rich in antioxidant vitamins E, A, and C, which positively impact cardiovascular health, boost the immune system, and have anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties.

- Sesame oil is also an excellent source of macro- and microelements essential for the body. It is particularly high in calcium, making it a standout among most foods for supporting the development of bones and cartilage.
- Like other plant oils, sesame oil contains phytosterols that positively affect the immune system, skin health, and the endocrine and reproductive systems. It also contains phospholipids necessary for the proper functioning of the liver, brain, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, as well as for better absorption of vitamins A and E.
- Additionally, sesame oil contains a powerful antioxidant, squalene, which has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. Squalene is necessary for the synthesis of sex hormones, helping to lower cholesterol levels and boost immunity.
