Derived from virgin pumpkins, our capsules contain oil that is cold-pressed to preserve its natural profile of essential fatty acids, including omega-6 (linoleic acid) and omega-9 (oleic acid). Pumpkin seed oil is obtained from two pumpkin types of the Cucurbita plant - Cucurbita pepo. Cold-Pressed for Optimal Purity - Our pumpkin seed oil is gently extracted without heat or chemicals to preserve its full spectrum of natural nutrients and bioactive compounds. This meticulous cold-press method ensures essential fatty acids and supportive nutrients are retained more effectively than conventional processing, delivering a premium source of daily wellness in every capsule. The original home of the pumpkin is North America, and experts believe Native Americans used pumpkins for their medicinal and dietary benefits as far back as 1300 A.D. Pumpkin seeds would become part of the European diet after being spread to Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean.
