Flax Seed Oil is the vegetable food oil richest in omega-3 fatty acids. It is extracted from flax seeds using a special chemical-free, cold-pressing process which minimizes the damaging effects of light, oxygen and heat.
Flax seed oil is also rich in the omega-6 essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, as well as the omega-9 essential fatty acid, oleic acid. With a total EFA content greater than 70%, and a total unsaturation of greater than 90%, this is a cost-effective source of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are involved in prostaglandin synthesis, hormone production, immune response, fat metabolism, and cell membrane integrity and fluidity.*
Suggested use: As a dietary supplement, 1 tablespoon one or two times daily, preferably with meals.
Suitable as a salad oil. Not for use in frying. Refrigerate after opening.
