Linseed/Flax Oil      

	Flaxseed, also called linseed, is rich in omega-3 (linolenic) and omega-6 (linoleic) fatty acids. In fact, 57% of flax's fat is omega-3, more than any other plant-derived oil.
	Researchers have found that a diet rich in flaxseed lowers serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly.
	Flax Seed Oil provides approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than the amount available from fish oil, without the "fishy" after taste.
	Flax Seed Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, fibre, protein, potassium, lecithin, magnesium and zinc. The body does not produce certain essential fatty acids, so it is necessary to receive them via the diet. Flax Seed Oil supplements the body with these fatty acids, which are vital for maintaining body temperature, building nerve insulation, protecting tissues and producing energy.
	Fatty acids are important for building prostaglandins, which are necessary for several body processes, including dilation of blood vessels, cholesterol metabolization and other critical bio-chemical functions. Prostaglandins are essential hormone-like substances that help regulate systems functions, including immune, reproductive, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
	Flax Seed Oil helps reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and lowers the risk of heart disease. Flax Seed Oil may also be useful for treating eczema, psoriasis, arthritis and some menstrual complaints.
