Fresh pressed
Probably the best flax seed oil in the world, this nutty tasting, cholesterol free oil provides the highest food source omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) - typically 57%. Certified 100% organic, Flax Seed Oil also naturally provides 16% omega-6 EFAs and 18% omega-9 mono-unsaturated fatty acids, as well as beta carotene, mixed carotenoids and mixed tocopherols. EFAs make up the cell membranes of every cell in the body, and produce hormone-like substances that are important for many biochemical processes, including energy metabolism, cardiovascular and immune system health.
Certain vegetable oils, most notably flax seed oil, contain an Omega 3 called ALA. ALA has beneficial effects on its own (skin, immunity, heart and circulation, balanced pain control), but it can also be converted by the body into EPA and DHA.
Omega 6s are found in many vegetable oils, such as sunflower, corn etc., in the form of LA. LA can be converted by the body into GLA, if you have all the vitamins and minerals in your system necessary to make the conversion. GLA is important for skin, hormone balance, immunity, balanced pain control and good mood.
Recommended dosage: Take 1-3 teaspoons (5-15ml) daily. Not suitable for cooking or baking.
