Natural seed oils and powders stand out as potential additions to dietary supplement formulations for a multitude of reasons — they’re nutrient-dense, ultra-pure and completely natural.
With higher efficacy and better absorption, seed oils and powders are an excellent way to help your next formulation meet growing consumer demand for health-focused natural products, as long as you know which ones offer the right diet benefits for your unique needs.
Why should you consider natural oils in your dietary supplements?
We’ll go into the unique benefits of different types of seed oils and powders below. The one benefit that all the listed ingredients contain is the purity and effectiveness that comes from being cold-pressed.
Cold-pressing seeds is an ideal method for producing seed oils and powders due to its all-natural, gentle approach. This method avoids the use of chemicals, solvents and extreme heat to better preserve seeds’ nutritional benefits and antioxidant properties.
By maintaining cool processing temperatures, the cold-press method ensures that the final products are ultra-pure and nutrient-dense, providing higher efficacy and quality compared to heat-based extraction methods. This commitment to purity and sustainability makes natural cold-pressed oils and powders an excellent choice for health-conscious manufacturers seeking the next great thing for their dietary supplement formulations.
Natural Seed Oils for Dietary Supplements
Organic Flax Seed Oil
One of the leading benefits of using Organic Flax Seed Oil in dietary supplement formulations is how rich it is in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a beneficial type of Omega-3 fatty acid. ALA helps reduce inflammation and can help lower the risk of heart disease while promoting healthy digestion. It’s full of other beneficial vitamins and minerals, too — including vitamin E, B, magnesium, potassium and zinc.
Chia Seed Oil
Organic Chia Seed Oil is more than 60% omega-3 fatty acid — one of the highest of any plant source! Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation throughout the body, combat free radicals and promote healthy skin and bones. This main benefit alongside other vitamins contained in this natural, ultra-pure oil — like B complex and E — make organic chia seed oil a beneficial addition to any dietary supplement formula.
Sunflower Seed Oil
Organic Sunflower Seed Oil is a helpful addition to dietary supplements due to how rich it is in essential fatty acids like linoleic and oleic acid. It also contains high levels of vitamin E, offering powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory boosts. Additional benefits include supporting heart health by helping lower bad cholesterol, boosting the immune system and supporting brain, joint and skin health.
Natural Seed Powders for Dietary Supplements
Pumpkin Seed Powder
Organic Pumpkin Seed Powder is a powerhouse of nutrients that offers a wide range of benefits to meet a variety of health needs. The high protein content makes it helpful for muscle repair and growth — great for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. It’s rich in magnesium, which supports heart health, muscle function and bone strength. Plus, thanks to its richness in antioxidants like carotenoids and Vitamin E, it can help reduce inflammation and protect against free radicals.
Sunflower Seed Powder
Organic Sunflower Seed Powder offers similar benefits to its oil counterpart, just in a different format. When you get it from Botanic Innovations, it’s particularly beneficial thanks to it being non-GMO, 100% natural plant material, gluten-free and consisting of ~45-47% protein and ~10% fiber.
Grape Seed Powder
Organic Grape Seed Powder offers a particular boost to dietary supplement formulations thanks to how packed it is with powerful antioxidants — particularly proanthocyanidins — which help protect cells from oxidative stress. This powder also offers anti-inflammatory benefits, promotes healthy skin and aids both heart health and circulation. Additionally, grape seed powder is rich in vitamins C and E as well as essential minerals like magnesium and potassium. Its versatility allows it to be easily incorporated into various supplement formats, making it a smart, health-boosting ingredient for a wide range of dietary products.
