Membrasin Moisturizer Supplement for Women In Menopause

What Membrasin Vitality Pearls are

Membrasin Vitality Pearls are a dietary supplement for adult women, sold as small oval softgels sealed into blister sheets rather than loose in a bottle. A carton holds 60 pearls. The labeled serving is two pearls taken once daily, and the Supplement Facts panel counts 30 servings in a carton — a 30-day supply at that serving. Each serving carries 1000 mg of sea buckthorn berry pulp and seed oil, the extract the brand calls SBA24, alongside 4 mg of vitamin E and 0.4 mg of vitamin A from beta-carotene. The pearls are manufactured by Aromtech Ltd in Tornio, Finland, and distributed in the United States by Membrasin Life Sciences of Lakemont, Georgia. You will find it shelved with the rest of our supplements for women.

The softgels themselves are oil-filled and deep amber-red, the color of the berry oil inside them. Each blister sheet is foil-backed, so a pearl stays sealed until it is pushed out — a practical difference from a loose-fill bottle if you carry a day's serving with you or keep your supplements on a shared shelf.

What's inside

This is a single-botanical formula: everything on the panel traces back to sea buckthorn, with two vitamins listed separately. That is unusual in a category where twenty-ingredient blends are the norm, and it makes the label easy to read in one pass.

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides), 1000 mg per serving. Sea buckthorn is a thorny shrub that grows across northern Europe and central Asia, from coastal dunes to high mountain valleys, and it fruits in dense clusters of bright orange berries. Both the soft pulp of the berry and the hard seed inside it yield an oil, and the two are not the same — pulp oil and seed oil differ in their fatty acid make-up, which is why this label names both. The panel also records the extraction method: supercritical CO₂, a process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide in place of a chemical solvent and leaves no solvent residue behind. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements publishes general background on botanical dietary supplements for readers who want to understand how plant extracts are standardized and labeled.

The omega fatty acids. The panel breaks the 1000 mg of oil down into four named fatty acid families: omega-7 at 300 mg, omega-9 at 180 mg, omega-6 at 170 mg and omega-3 at 130 mg. The omega-7 figure is the one worth noticing, because omega-7 is scarce in the plant kingdom and sea buckthorn pulp oil is one of the few botanical sources that carries it in quantity — most plant oils are dominated by omega-6 and omega-9 instead. Omega-9 is the family that includes oleic acid, the fatty acid that makes up the bulk of olive oil, while omega-3 and omega-6 are the two families familiar from fish and seed oils.

What else the oil carries. Below the fatty acid rows, the panel notes that the extract also delivers phytosterols, tocopherols, tocotrienols and carotenoids. Those are the naturally occurring minor fractions of the berry oil — plant sterols, the two chemical families that together make up vitamin E, and the orange-red pigments that give both the berry and the softgel their color.

Vitamin E, 4 mg (27% of the Daily Value). Listed on the panel as alpha-tocopherol, this is the only nutrient on the label with an established Daily Value against it. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements maintains a plain-language vitamin E fact sheet covering what the nutrient is and which everyday foods supply it.

Vitamin A from beta-carotene, 0.4 mg. The panel marks this row as having no established Daily Value. Beta-carotene is the plant-derived precursor form rather than preformed retinol, and the ingredient list shows it carried in sunflower oil.

The capsule shell and the rest of the ingredient list. The shell is built from modified maize starch and glycerol, set with carrageenan as the gelling agent and disodium phosphate as an acidity regulator. No gelatin is listed anywhere on the panel. The ingredient line also names alpha-tocopherol and rosemary extract as antioxidants — in a product that is essentially a bottled plant oil, antioxidants are there to keep the oil itself stable on the shelf.

Transcribed from the Supplement Facts panel printed on the carton. That panel is bilingual, carrying the same figures in English and French.

How to use it

Take two Vitality Pearls by mouth, once daily — that is the whole of the direction printed on the carton. The label sets no time of day for them and no on-and-off cycle, so the only thing to settle is a routine you will actually keep.

Storage is equally simple: keep the carton at room temperature and out of direct sunlight. Leave the pearls in their blister sheets until you take them rather than decanting a week's worth into a pill organizer.

Who it's for

This is an everyday botanical oil supplement for adult women, 18 and over. It will suit you if you are specifically looking for sea buckthorn oil in a measured daily serving rather than a general multivitamin, if you prefer a short ingredient list you can read in one go, or if you want a supplement whose capsule shell contains no gelatin. The blister format also suits anyone who travels and would rather not carry a bottle. Browse the rest of our range for women if you are comparing formats.

It is a poor fit if you are after a multi-ingredient formula, or if you would rather not swallow two softgels a day — the serving is fixed at two pearls, and halving it halves every figure on the panel with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many softgels come in a carton of Membrasin Vitality Pearls?

A carton holds 60 Vitality Pearls. The labeled serving is two pearls once daily, which the Supplement Facts panel counts as 30 servings — a 30-day supply at that serving. The pearls arrive sealed in foil-backed blister sheets.

Does the capsule shell contain gelatin?

No gelatin appears anywhere in the ingredient list. The shell is made from modified maize starch and glycerol, set with carrageenan — a gelling agent derived from red seaweed — and disodium phosphate as an acidity regulator.

Where are Membrasin Vitality Pearls made?

They are manufactured in Tornio, Finland, by Aromtech Ltd. The same panel names Membrasin Life Sciences of Lakemont, Georgia as the United States distributor, and the carton is labeled bilingually in English and French.

What exactly is SBA24?

SBA24 is the brand's name for its sea buckthorn oil extract, taken from both the berry pulp and the seed and produced by supercritical CO₂ extraction. On this label, one serving supplies 1000 mg of it, broken out on the panel into omega-7, omega-9, omega-6 and omega-3 fractions.

How should the pearls be stored?

Store the carton at room temperature, out of direct sunlight, exactly as the label instructs. Oil-filled softgels are more sensitive to heat and light than dry tablets, so a cupboard shelf is a better home for them than a windowsill or a bathroom cabinet.
