Marigold, also known as calendula, is an annual, herbaceous plant that naturally grows around western Europe, southeastern Asia and the Mediterranean. It’s a common plant in home gardens today, as it is the same species as marigolds and is often called by the alternative name pot marigold. The bright yellow to deep orange flowers contain high levels of antioxidants in the form of carotenoids and flavonoids, as well as lutein and beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A. It also has fatty acids, with the two dominant fatty acids being calendic and linoleic acids. Additionally, the flower heads are rich in oxygenated oils like monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. Aside from the usages listed above, calendula can also be used to help relieve wound and ulcer pain, may discourage cancer, and also has strong antimicrobial and antiviral properties.

Oleic Acid is an omega-9 fatty acid that is found in nature and most of our cells. Their omega-9 benefits, like their ability to boost the health of your heart and brain, explain why we should swap out refined vegetable oils and foods made with them for foods and oils high in this beneficial fat. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid that occurs naturally in the fats and oils of both animals and vegetables. It is naturally odorless and colorless, although commercial products made with it may be yellowish. Oleic acid is needed by the body’s cells for proper membrane fluidity. Our bodies produce oleic acid, so the need to supplement it isn’t too important. However, oleic acid helps to reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol, promotes brain function, fights infections, and promotes skin repair. Some foods and oils high in oleic acid include olive oil, almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil, cashews, macadamia nuts, beef, cheese, eggs, milk, and chicken.

Linoleic Acid is a polyunsaturated essential fatty acid that is found mostly in plant oils. It is known as the parent fatty acid of the omega-6 series, and it is essential for human nutrition because it cannot be synthesized or created by the human body. Like all fatty acids, linoleic acid is used by the body as a source of energy. Linoleic acid is also an important structural component of cell membranes and affects cell membrane properties like fluidity, flexibility, and permeability. Linoleic acid promotes healthy brain function, supports skin and hair health, improves reproductive health, and boosts immune function. It is commonly found in sunflower oil, apricot kernel oil, sesame oil, pecans, and more.
