Organic Flaxseed is recognized as nature’s best vegetable source of Alpha Linolenic Acid, a beneficial omega-3 fatty acid, which several studies indicate has the ability to reduce risk for a host of adverse health conditions. Approximately 20% of the Alpha Linolenic Acid we consume is transformed in our bodies into two other beneficial fatty acids: Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) ?the same beneficial compounds found in fish oil.

Flax Seed Oil Contains:

Oleic Acid, a mono-unsaturated fatty acid, has been shown to lower blood levels of cholesterol. Doctors and researchers have been aware that eating a Mediterranean diet (including fruits, vegetables and olive oil) may reduce the risk of heart disease and other illnesses.

Linoleic Acid, a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid, is also found in abundance in flaxseed oil. Linoleic Acid is vital for proper functioning of nerve cells, cell membranes, cell tissues and prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are hormone like compounds that influence almost every body system, from decreasing inflammation, to regulating blood pressure to PMS related water retention.

Organic flaxseed is made from gently pressing certified organic flaxseeds.

Balance Diet

Omega-3 fatty acids have been a part of the human diet for thousands of years. It has been estimated that the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the diet of early humans was 1:1. The ratio in the United States today has risen to approximately 10:1. Research suggests that modern diets may be too rich in omega-6 fatty acids and deficient in omega-3 fatty acids which can contribute to growing health concerns. The optimal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is 4:1, or four times the amount of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids. For Organic Flax seed and Organic Linseed Oil use provides an optimal balance of both the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Cell health

Studies show that omega-3 has an integral role in the function of cell membranes. 2 A fatty acid deficiency may prohibit the cell membrane to perform its vital function ?to act as a selective barrier, or "gatekeeper," that controls the passage of certain materials in and out of the cell. Cells can lose their ability to hold water, vital nutrients, and electrolytes, lose their ability to communicate with other cells and be controlled by regulated hormones.
