Baldwins Flaxseed Oil 1000mg

The average diet contains far too much saturated and hydrogenated fat and yet is deficient in beneficial fatty acids responsible for many functions in the body. Scientists have attributed the importance of these good or essential fats to their production of hormone-like compounds called prostaglandins.

Prostaglandins are beneficial for promoting adequate cardiovascular, immune and healthy nervous system health. It is important that individuals receive a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, two classes of essential fats that have positive health benefits on the body. Flax seed oil capsules are a convenient and effective way for individuals to receive a plant source of the essential compounds found in fish oils.

Flax seed oil is nature’s richest source of ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid), an omega-3 fat, plus (LA Linoleic Acid) an omega-6 fat. Our Flax Seed Oil contains 550 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per daily dose and provides a plant source of EPA and DHA (essential compounds found in fatty fish) through the conversion of ALA. Our flax seed is grown in Canada where cooler temperatures produce more oil and a higher ALA content. The organic, unfiltered and unbleached flaxseed oil provides a pure and wholesome product and is cold-pressed and hexane-free.
