Flax Oil

Essential Fatty Acid Supplement

Flax seed oil supplies a naturally occurring balance of alpha-linolenic acid (omega3-48%) and linoleic acid (omega6-19%), essential polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Definitions:
Polyunsaturated fatty acids - Linolenic, linoleic, and arachidonic acid are the three polyunsaturated fatty acids. Linolenic and linoleic acids have been designated as the "essential fatty acids" (EFA) and the linoleic acid is the primary dietary EFA for humans. The EFAs have important roles in fat transport and metabolism and maintaining the integrity and function of the cell membranes. The EFAs are a part of the fatty acids of cholesterol esters and phospholipids in plasma lipoproteins and mitochondrial lipoproteins. Studies have shown that serum cholesterol is lowered by EFAs. Fatty acids with EFA activity are also precursors of a group of hormone-like compounds, prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and prostacyclins, that participate in the regulation of blood pressure, heart rate, vascular dilation, blood clotting, lipolysis and the central nervous system.

Lignans – The one non-carbohydrate occurring in the cell walls of plants that is considered part of dietary fiber. Lignan is a polymer of phenyl propyl alcohols and acids and is contained in the woody portions of fruits and vegetables and in wheat bran.
