Flax oil is a natural reservoir for the omega-3 fatty acid, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA is considered an essential fatty acid, because the body cannot make it from other fats and must obtain it from the diet. Flax oil has been shown to support cardiovascular health and to promote the maintenance of healthy skin.
This flax seed oil has been specially pressed to be as close to the original oil in the seed as possible. Extreme care has been taken in bringing this product to market in softgel form, which seals in the oil and protects it from oxidation and contamination.

Linolenic Acid (Omega-3) 55%, Linoleic Acid (Omega-6) 14%, Oleic Acid (Omega-9) 19%, Other (Saturated) 12%.
