What's the difference between Efamol Evening Primrose Oil 500mg and 1000mg Capsules?Updated a day ago

Both products contain the same premium Rigel® Evening Primrose Oil. The main difference is the amount of oil in each capsule and the capsule size.

Usual adult daily serving2 capsules1 capsule


Which should I choose?

  • 500mg Capsules: A good choice if you prefer smaller capsules or find larger softgels difficult to swallow.

  • 1000mg Capsules: A convenient option if you'd prefer to take fewer capsules each day.

Both formats provide GLA-rich Evening Primrose Oil alongside vitamin E.

Is one stronger than the other?

A single 1000mg capsule provides twice as much Evening Primrose Oil as a single 500mg capsule. However, the usual adult daily serving delivers the same overall amount of Evening Primrose Oil.

Always follow the recommended dosage and age guidance on your product packaging.
