Description

In a study on heart disease risk in 40 healthy people, those who consumed 15 grams of argan oil daily for 30 days experienced a 16% and 20% reduction in “bad” LDL and triglyceride levels, respectively ( 11).

Traditionally, argan oil is used for dipping bread or drizzling on couscous or vegetables. It can also be lightly heated, but it is not appropriate for high-heat dishes as it can easily burn. Summary

Conservation Status

Through the ages, the Amazigh population, the indigenous inhabitants of North Africa, has inhabited the arganeraie area of Morocco and has developed a lifestyle that depends on the argan tree. In Southwest Morocco, there was a noticeable degradation of argan forest from about 1.5 million ha to only an estimated 800,000 ha by the year 2000 ( 1, 2). The decline is anthropogenic but is also due to drought. As a consequence, Unesco declared the Moroccan argan forest a biosphere reserve in 1998 ( 1, 3). Since then, a comprehensive program aiming at saving the argan tree in a sustainable way has been underway in Morocco ( 4). Among its significant results is the scientific confirmation of traditional medicinal values virtues arising mostly from the main product, which is argan oil. Since then, argan oil is gaining significant value worldwide with increasing demand from year to year. In addition, in 2021, the United Nations Organization (UNO) recognized the importance of the argan tree by adopting May 10 as its international day.

Argan oil is typically administered orally and has traditionally been prescribed as a choleretic and hepatoprotective agent, and in treatment of hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis.
