It's a natural source of omega-6 fatty acids (linoleic and oleic acids) for everyday health, in a high single-softgel dose. The gelatin softgel is Halal certified. If you specifically want pumpkin seed oil rather than a blended oil, this is a straightforward organic option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow Naka Pumpkin Seed Oil Compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNaka Pumpkin Seed Oil vs. Fish Oil\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFish oil is an omega-3 supplement; pumpkin seed oil is an omega-6 one. They're different fatty-acid families and do different jobs — many people take both for balance. If you specifically want omega-3 (EPA and DHA), reach for fish oil; if you want a plant-seed source of omega-6, this is that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNaka Pumpkin Seed Oil vs. Evening Primrose or Borage Oil\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvening primrose and borage oils are also omega-6 oils, but their omega-6 comes mainly as GLA. Pumpkin seed oil's omega-6 is mostly linoleic acid, with oleic acid alongside. If you want GLA specifically, primrose or borage; if you want pumpkin seed oil, this delivers it organic and cold-pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNaka Pumpkin Seed Oil vs. Eating Pumpkin Seeds\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhole pumpkin seeds give you the oil along with fibre and protein. A softgel concentrates the oil — 1250 mg of cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil in one softgel — without the snacking. If you enjoy the seeds, keep eating them; the softgel is just a convenient, measured way to get the oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in Pumpkin Seed Oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePumpkin seed oil is pressed from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo.
