Flaxseed oil is one of the best natural sources for omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA’s), a vital nutrient to many bodily processes. Flaxseed oil is one of nature's richest plant sources of essential fatty acids (EFA's). Flaxseed oil contains omega-3 EFA’s in alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), which once in the body turns into two more “bioavailable” fatty acids. These two essential fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are endorsed by The American Heart Association as healthy for the heart.
Omega-3 fatty acids are great for your heart. Research has proven the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids over the years through hundreds of studies, the conclusions of which include benefits like lowering bad LDL cholesterol and blood triglycerides while increasing good HDL cholesterol, preventing blood clots that could cause heart attacks, strokes, and thromboses, greater energy, faster healing from injury, and an alleviation of PMS and menopause symptoms. Clinical studies have concluded that a regular intake of omega-3 fatty acids can even prevent sudden death from abnormal heart rhythms.
Flaxseed oil also contains special chemicals called lignans, which are believed to have powerful antioxidant capabilities. Research involving animals suggests that an intake of flaxseed oil may reduce the size and amount of certain cancers. Further research is ongoing.
Our product is made from the finest cold expeller-pressed flaxseed, enriched with 20% organic flaxseed particulate (for an excellent source of lignans), and is cold expeller pressed and nitrogen flushed for preserved freshness. One tablespoon of our flaxseed oil contains approximately 12 mg of lignans.
