This organically grown flax seed oil offers a complete source of essential amino acids with a vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Our flax is obtained from certified organically grown flaxseeds. It is extracted by expeller pressing at temperatures less than 38 °C without the use of solvents, such as hexane. The oil is protected during the extraction process from the damaging effects of heat, light, and oxygen.
Flaxseed oil contains 20% flax particulates, with 11 mg of lignans per tablespoon, the highest source of omega-3 available. Current research indicates that lignans have important nutritive and preventive properties.
Flaxseed oil is best used on salads, other foods, or taken by itself. Flaxseed oil is not suitable for cooking, because it oxidizes when heated.
Flaxseed oil also slows the aging process; shields the skin from wrinkling; and boosts production of new skin, hair, and nails. Studies have also shown that flax lowers risks of breast and colon cancer, restores proper metabolic function, and enables the body to excrete fat and toxins that are trapped in tissues.
