Lamberts Pure Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg is a food supplement in soft capsules. Each capsule provides 1000mg of evening primrose oil, with 90mg of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and 10mg of vitamin E. The 90-capsule pot can last 1 to 3 months at the recommended 1 to 3 capsules a day, so you can adjust your intake to suit you.

Key Features

• 90mg of GLA per capsule: GLA is an omega 6 fatty acid, and evening primrose oil is one of its few natural sources. Lamberts describes this as its best-known evening primrose strength, and also makes two products with higher GLA levels.
• Vitamin E in every capsule: Each capsule provides 10mg of vitamin E, which is 83% of the nutrient reference value (NRV). Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and Lamberts adds it to protect the delicate oil.
• Flexible daily intake: You can take 1 to 3 capsules a day, which gives a 1 to 3 month supply from one 90-capsule pot.
• Gelatin capsule shell: The soft capsule shell is made with bovine gelatin and glycerol.

What is the difference between Lamberts Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg and 500mg?

The 1000mg capsule provides 90mg of GLA and has a bovine gelatin shell. The Lamberts Pure Evening Primrose Oil 500mg capsule provides 50mg of GLA, is described by Lamberts as its smallest evening primrose capsule, and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Both provide 10mg of vitamin E per capsule.

What is GLA and where does it come from?

GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) is an omega 6 fatty acid. Evening primrose oil is one of the few natural sources of it. The body can also make GLA from linoleic acid, an omega 6 fatty acid found in vegetable oils.

Is this evening primrose oil suitable for vegetarians?

No. The capsule shell contains bovine gelatin. Lamberts Pure Evening Primrose Oil 500mg uses a shell made from modified starch and carrageenan and is labelled suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
