High-Quality Evening Primrose Oil: At HSN
Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg by HSN’s EssentialSeries health and wellness brand is a food supplement made from pure and standardised oil extracted by cold mechanical pressing from evening primrose seeds and encapsulated in highly concentrated softgels to bring the best and most important nutrients to your daily diet.
The important fatty acid content of evening primrose has been ensured in the oil from which this supplement is made. Moreover, thanks to its purity and excellent processing conditions, the GLA (Gamma-Linolenic Acid) content is extremely high, accounting for no less than 10% of the net content of the oil (100mg guaranteed by mass per 1000mg of evening primrose oil).
An evening primrose oil product that is perfect for people who want to take advantage of the properties of omega-6 fatty acids, and of evening primrose itself, an excellent source of natural, unrefined vegetable fats.
Our quality controls
Evening primrose oil extracted from seeds grown in a controlled and sustainable environment
At HSN we have a strong social commitment to environmental sustainability, which has led us to improve and optimise our production processes, to reduce the unnecessary consumption of plastics over the years, and to other strategies that you can about to do our bit for the world we live in.
Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a plant that is characterised by aggressive cultivation conditions, as its harvesting involves many economic benefits due to the important market for the processing of its seeds for animal fodder and for obtaining oil.
At HSN we select only the best raw materials for our products, and this includes not only choosing the best species, varieties, and seed units of evening primrose but also ensuring a sustainable cultivation and harvesting process to obtain traditionally treated raw seeds.
The cultivation procedures followed respect the growth cycle of the plant, which is grown at the stationary point of development where, according to scientific research in the field of botany, the seeds naturally have the highest gamma-linolenic acid content.
The seeds are harvested following traditional harvesting methods, and the seeds are processed according to the best international standards of care so as not to degrade any of their natural bioactives until they reach the oil extraction plant.
Use of traditional means to obtain it through first cold pressing
Evening primrose naturally provides a wide variety of fatty acids in its seeds:
These include linoleic acid (cis-linoleic acid, omega-6) (65-80%), gamma-linolenic acid (cis-γ-linolenic acids) (8-14%), oleic acid (6-11%), palmitic acid (7-10%) and stearic acid (1.5-3.5%). Other components include sterols and triterpene alcohols.
Of all, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is the most valued for its uniqueness, not being present in many options on the market but being very rich in evening primrose.
Unfortunately, the treatment of evening primrose seed by many manufacturers is inadequate, as they roast the seeds to obtain the oil more quickly, but this is highly detrimental to the health of its fatty acids, especially GLA, which degrades quickly and easily.
At HSN we follow the best procedures, regardless of the time it takes to do so, to guarantee that the GLA content is the maximum possible to be retained in the seed oil; to do so, we obtain the oil from the raw seed, applying only and exclusively mechanical pressing procedures through presses that squeeze the seeds in environments and with cold elements to obtain an oil of maximum purity, raw and without degrading any of its content.
This oil is then put into the softgels that you will receive at home, hence its excellent nutritional properties.
Use of natural antioxidants (Vitamin E) to protect the omega-6 in evening primrose oil
Omega fatty acids are very delicate, especially GLA because of its natural chemical structure is very susceptible to damage from exposure to oxygen or sunlight once the oil is removed from the seed and is more ‘exposed’.
The damage is the oxidation of fatty acids, which causes gamma-linolenic acid to degrade and lose some of its positive nutritional properties.
To avoid this, in our evening primrose oil we have added a good amount of a natural antioxidant that has positive effects not only on the care and preservation of GLA but also on people’s health when consumed. This is Vitamin E.
We guarantee a minimum totox oxidation rate in evening primrose oil supplementation. the highest quality is at your disposal at HSN.
Manufactured in a Spanish laboratory with all the certifications that accredit maximum quality and safety
The food supplement you are looking at, as well as the rest of HSN’s supplements, are manufactured in our own laboratory, located in Albolote (Granada), Spain.
We follow all national and EU standardised quality procedures established in EU and national legislation.
But we are not satisfied! We have been certified with the best quality guarantees audited by the world’s leading experts in quality and food safety. For example, our factory is assured by independent third-party specialists that:
- It follows good manufacturing practices.
- It ensures process control and maintains safety at critical points.
- It filters particles of the smallest size to ensure airtight environments in manufacturing rooms.
This, together with the IFS Food certificate, one of the world’s highest recognitions in the food industry, close to pharmaceutical standards, and HSN being the first Spanish food supplement company with its own factory to obtain it, positions us as the international reference in quality control. The food revolution comes from the hand of HSN!
GLA content guaranteed by mass measurement. No estimates or approximations!
Omega fatty acid content is easily manipulated. In fact, many companies use standardisation methods that are not real measurements, but volumetric estimates.
This is a problem as it overestimates the actual omega fatty acid content of the product.
Don’t be fooled!
Our Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg guarantees a real content of 100mg of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) per softgel.
Find out why we specifically state the amount of Omega-6 and why it is necessary while other companies only state the percentage.
Easy to take: Highly concentrated and easy-to-swallow softgels. Few units required
Each softgel of our evening primrose oil provides a full gram of pure, high quality standardised oil, and as it is guaranteed to be 10% by mass, each softgel provides 100mg of Gamma-Linolenic Acid (GLA).
This high concentration makes taking the supplement more convenient, as with just two softgels a day you get a highly significant dose of this important fatty acid, which is rarely present in the diet.
Guaranteed content and guaranteed optimal supply are the hallmarks of a high-quality product such as evening primrose oil from HSN.
Evening Primrose is a plant with multiple properties derived from the fatty acids in its oil. Check its importance
Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a precursor of prostaglandins, regulators associated with many metabolic functions in the body.
Moreover, thanks to the vitamin E contained in its oil, in addition to protecting the AGL it contains, it contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative damage.
