Flax seed oil is the most potent known source of alpha-linolenic
acid, an essential omega-3 fatty acid. It is extracted from organically grown
flax seeds using a special cold-pressing process, which minimizes the damaging
effects of light, oxygen and heat. Flax seed oil is also rich
in the omega-6 essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, as well as the omega-9 essential
fatty acid, oleic acid. With a total EFA content greater than 70%, and a total
unsaturation of greater than 90%, this is a cost-effective source of omega-3,
omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids. Essential fatty acids are involved in prostaglandin
synthesis, hormone production, immune response, fat metabolism, and cell membrane
integrity and fluidity.
