Flaxseed oil is one of nature's richest plant sources of essential fatty acids (EFA's). Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 in the form of alpha-linoleic acid (ALA). In the body, ALA is converted into two other, more bioavailable fatty acids – eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
The American Heart Association has endorsed omega-3 fatty acids as good for the heart. Through the years, hundreds of studies have established that individuals with diets high in omega-3 fatty acids may experience a decrease in the risk of heart attack, stroke and abnormal heart rhythms. They also protect the heart by preventing blood clots and keeping other fats from injuring arterial walls.
Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids help support healthy cholesterol levels and blood triglycerides, and help prevent clots in arteries which may result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses. Other benefits from supplemental flaxseed oil may include increased energy, faster healing, PMS relief and much more.
Besides omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed oil contains chemicals called lignans. Scientists believe lignans have antioxidant properties. There is some research in animals that suggests consumption of flaxseed may reduce the number and size of certain cancers. Further research is ongoing.
Our cold expeller pressed flax seed oil is hexane free. It is a rich source of Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. It is made from the finest flax seeds available and enriched with 20% organic flax seed particulate to provide a great source of lignans. Recent research suggests that it is the lignans in the flax seed that provide many of the benefits that people experience.
