• Keeping saturated fats mobile in the bloodstream.

• Precursor to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins
• Helping reduce triglyceride levels in the blood.

Lignan Rich

Several scientific studies show that consumption of essential fatty acids (EFAs) can benefit the heart. Flax Seed Oil is a rich source of these EFAs. It also contains lignans, substances known to stimulate immune activity, and linoleic acid, another essential fatty acid. These two fatty acids are termed "essential" because the body cannot manufacture them. EFAs are precursors to prostaglandins.

Until recently, experts believed the best sources of EFAs were fish oils. While fish oils are a good source, flax seed oil contains twice as much EFAs as fish oil products, without the fishy aftertaste. Each capsule contains omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids plus lignans.

The average North American diet lacks Omega-3 EFAs. Typically, the North American diet has about a 25:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 EFAs. This ratio should be much less drastic (3:1).

Omega-3 oil supports the Immune, Circulatory, Glandular, Structural, and Respiratory Systems

Flax seed oil and lignans.

Flax seed oil contains the highest level of alpha-linolenic acid of any known plant source. It also contains high levels of lignans—active polysaccharides that have anti-estrogenic, antioxidative, antiviral, antibacterial and antitumor properties, and that offer protection against some types of autoimmune diseases. Lignans may possess impressive preventive properties and offer protection to the immune system.
