How our Evening Primrose Oil is made
We Grow
Rigel Evening Primrose is selectively grown just for Efamol in perfect conditions in the Netherlands and New Zealand. It's seeds contain 33% more GLA than the standard Evening Primrose.
We Harvest
Rigel Evening Primrose only flowers for 24 hours, so we harvest on long, hot days. Our farms have the perfect balance of rainfall and sun, fresh water supply and fertile soils for a good harvest.
We Extract
Our careful extraction process creates the purest oil, retaining its natural properties and its rich, golden colour. Each batch is tested for GLA content, and can be traced right back to the farm.
Not all Evening Primrose Oils are equal
Efamol
Our unique Rigel Evening Primrose has been selectively grown by Efamol. Its seed contains 33% more GLA than other Evening Primrose oils.†
We batch test to ensure every batch has the stated level of GLA.
Others
Standard Evening Primrose oils have less GLA content. They are not extracted as carefully, so the GLA can be damaged.
No batch testing - GLA content varies.

*The research was conducted between 18 September - 26 November 2020 with 77 women aged 18-65 years. The study was conducted by Cue Consumer Research. The study group took 6 x 500mg capsules a day for 12 weeks.
†Efamol Evening Primrose Oil contains 115mg of GLA per 1000mg capsule. A survey of standard Evening Primrose Oil available on the high street shows an average GLA content of 8.3mg per 1000mg. The difference between these two figures is 38.5%. Allowing for natural variations of GLA we have rounded this down to 33%.
