Flax Seed Oil 1000mg (90 capsule)

Flax Seed Oil 1000mg is an excellent vegan alternative to fish oils, providing 680mg of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and 122mg of linoleic acid (LA) per capsule. Within the body, ALA is converted into the omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, according to its requirements. Given that our flax seed oil is 68% ALA by weight, it therefore contains almost twice as much omega 3s per gram of weight than standard strength fish oils. The omega 3 content of flax seed oil is synonymous with good health, largely due to their anti-inflammatory properties. Alpha linolenic acid also contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels (obtained from a daily intake of 2g of ALA). With an eye on quality, we ensure that our flax seed oil is cold-pressed to retain its nutritive qualities without the use of hexanes or solvents. As an unstable nutrient, it can be difficult to measure exactly how much ALA is available in the diet alone. Formulated with vitamin E in opaque capsule shells, we protect the ALA from oxidation and hence guarantee that it is stable during the shelf-life of this product.
