Most People Are Not Truly Healthy: The "Sub-health" State

The body just hasn’t sounded the alarm yet. Chronic fatigue, hidden inflammation, digestive discomfort, daily stress... Many people are already unknowingly in a "sub-health" state, far from optimal physical function.

This is why we need healthy camellia oil.

The Hidden Risks of Soybean Oil: From Tasteless to Excess Omega-6

In modern kitchens and for those who eat out frequently, soybean oil is almost everywhere. It’s cheap, widespread, and seen as a universal everyday cooking oil.

But the truth is often hidden in the overlooked details of daily life: Our meals may be quietly affecting our health due to excessive soybean oil.

Soybean oil has a very light taste because it undergoes multiple refining processes such as high-temperature degumming, deacidification, bleaching, and deodorization. These steps strip away all aroma, impurities, and even nutrients, leaving behind a soulless transparent fat.

But the bigger issue lies in its fatty acid composition:

• Excessive Omega-6: More than half of soybean oil consists of Omega-6 fatty acids, which, when consumed in excess over time, can promote chronic inflammation, digestive sensitivity, and metabolic stress.
• Prone to Oxidation: Its high polyunsaturated fat content makes it more likely to produce oxidative byproducts during high-temperature cooking, further irritating the gut and increasing free radical damage.

The result — what we thought was a “harmless” daily oil might actually be silently raising our internal inflammation levels.

Why Camellia Oil Is Called the "Olive Oil of the East"

In stark contrast is camellia oil (also known as tea seed oil or oolong tea seed oil). Its characteristics are very similar to olive oil, yet it suits Asian dietary habits even better:

• Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA): With up to 75–80% oleic acid, it's mild and non-irritating, friendly to both the cardiovascular and digestive systems.
• Natural Antioxidants: Rich in tea polyphenols, squalene, and vitamin E — these fight inflammation and oxidative stress while protecting the digestive lining.
• High Heat Stability: Unlike soybean oil, it’s less prone to oxidation and suitable for the temperatures used in stir-fry cooking.

In southern China, camellia oil has long been praised as a "stomach-nourishing oil," considered a gentle choice for the elderly, children, and those with sensitive digestion.

Why Is Camellia Oil Gentler on the Stomach?

Camellia oil's gentleness on the digestive system comes mainly from its fatty acid profile and antioxidant properties:

• High in Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (Oleic Acid)
  Camellia oil contains 75–80% oleic acid, which is stable and less likely to oxidize.
  In the stomach, it doesn't break down into irritating oxidized compounds like polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs, e.g., soybean oil) do.
• Natural Antioxidants Protect Digestive Lining
  Rich in vitamin E, tea polyphenols, and squalene, camellia oil helps reduce free radicals and inflammation,
  protecting the digestive mucosa and ensuring the digestion process isn’t overly harsh.
• Proven in Traditional Diets
  In southern China, camellia oil has been known as a “stomach-nourishing oil” for generations.
  It is favored by the elderly, children, and people with sensitive stomachs for its long-term gentle effects.
• More Stable in High-Heat Cooking
  Camellia oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil, making it suitable for stir-frying and less likely to produce allergens or irritants.

Camellia Oil in the Kitchen Means Better Health for the Family

Because health is never a one-time investment — it’s the daily accumulation of mindful choices. A single spoonful of oil used in cooking every day can shape our long-term health and constitution.

Camellia oil brings peace of mind to your dining table.
