Camelina Oil Capsules – 100 Capsules – Rich in Vitamin E
Product Description:
Camelina sativa, often called camelina or gold-of-pleasure, is an ancient oilseed crop with a rich history dating back to the Stone Age, originating in Eastern Europe and Southwestern Asia. For centuries, and even during the Roman Empire, camelina oil was a staple in European households, used not only for cooking but also for lighting and animal feed. In Russia, particularly in the Ural and Siberian regions, it held a prominent place alongside flaxseed oil, as evidenced by historical accounts such as the 19th-century record from the South Ural village of Skoblino mentioning its widespread use in oil pressing.
While briefly overshadowed by sunflower oil in the late 19th century, camelina oil’s resilience shone during World War II. Its adaptability to various climates and ease of cultivation made it a crucial alternative during wartime shortages. Today, while still used in soap, cosmetics, and animal feed, its unique nutritional profile is gaining renewed recognition. The name “gold-of-pleasure” hints at its rich golden color and valued qualities. In Europe, it’s also known as “false flax” and “German sesame,” reflecting its similarity to flaxseed and its desirable properties.
Health Benefits & Nutritional Profile:
Camelina oil boasts a remarkably high Vitamin E content (90-100 mg%), a potent antioxidant crucial for protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals – contributing to healthy aging. Just one tablespoon (15g) provides over 1.5 times the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin E for adults. This makes it a valuable supplement supporting overall well-being. Beneficial effects have been traditionally associated with:
- Cardiovascular health: May help manage conditions such as varicose veins, anemia, angina, hypertension, atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, and thrombophlebitis.
- Digestive health: May aid in alleviating symptoms of colitis, enterocolitis, gastritis, and ulcers.
- Parasite control: Traditionally used as a natural anthelmintic (to expel intestinal parasites).
Dosage & Storage:
- Dosage: 3-4 capsules, three times daily after meals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place for up to 12 months.
