What is pumpkin seed oil?

Pumpkin seed oil is obtained by pressing pumpkin seeds. The pumpkin is a plant of the gourd family that is grown both for its flesh and for its seeds. Pumpkin seeds are eaten raw or roasted, for example as a topping for salads, porridges and baked goods. Pumpkin seed oil is best known in Central European cuisine, especially in Austria, where it is used as a salad oil; the oil is dark in colour and has a characteristic nutty taste. In cold pressing, the oil is pressed from the seeds mechanically, without heating them to high temperatures and without chemical solvents. BiotechUSA Pumpkin Seed Oil softgels contain oil obtained in exactly this way: each softgel contains 600 mg of cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil. In a softgel, the amount of oil is easy to measure precisely and convenient to carry with you. Pumpkin seed oil is a food, not a vitamin or mineral, which is why no nutrient reference value has been established for it.

How to use?

Take 1 softgel a day with a glass of water. One softgel is the recommended daily dose of the product and must not be exceeded. The manufacturer does not specify on the label at what time of day the softgel should be taken. With the recommended use, one package lasts 60 days. Keep the package tightly closed in a cool, dry place. The package contains a moisture-absorbing silica gel sachet – do not remove it after opening the package; the sachet is not edible.

According to the manufacturer, BiotechUSA Pumpkin Seed Oil is suitable for adults from the age of 18 who want to supplement their daily diet with pumpkin seed oil and prefer to take it in convenient softgels rather than by the spoonful. The capsule shell is made of gelatin, so the product is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
