DOSAGE FORM: Oil
PRIMABENE® poppy seed oil is obtained by pressing ripe and cleaned poppy seeds. It is light yellow, has a pleasant scent, and a delicate nutty taste.
The aromatic oil not only enhances dishes but is also extremely healthy. It is rich in alpha- and beta-linoleic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and stearic acid. Due to this beneficial fatty acid composition, it has a positive effect on blood lipid levels. Poppy seed oil has a limited shelf life.
