Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2014
Two named fatty acids within a single seed oil formula. This pumpkin seed oil supplement delivers 1,000 mg of oil per softgel, including 400 mg of linoleic acid and 180 mg of oleic acid. The botanical ingredient is sourced from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo and enclosed in a tapioca based shell.
The formulation contains the oil portion of pumpkin seeds rather than ground seeds or a powdered botanical ingredient. The 1,000 mg amount refers to pumpkin seed oil in each softgel. Linoleic acid and oleic acid are constituents of that oil, not separate oils added to the formula.
Linoleic acid belongs to the omega-6 family of polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is an essential fatty acid, meaning it must be obtained from dietary sources. This formula supplies 400 mg in each softgel.
Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid in the omega-9 family. Each softgel contains 180 mg. The two stated fatty acid quantities together represent 580 mg of the total 1,000 mg oil content.
