Flax Seed Oil 1000 mg-90 softgels

Quest Flax Seed Oil Capsules

Flaxseeds contain the essential fatty acids (EFAs) omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and omega-6 (linoleic acid). Our body cannot make EFAs, so we must obtain them from our diet or supplementation. Because we tend to consume a lot of vegetable oils, we get enough omega-6s in our diet, but not enough omega-3s, and therefore, a deficiency in omega-3s is thought to be quite common. Flax seed oil, which is high in omega-3s  relative to omega-6s, can help us keep a balance of EFAs that suits our body chemistry. EFAs act as anti-inflammatories, and they are beneficial in reducing the risk of heart attack adn arthritis, lowering cholesterol, and improving brain function and skin health. They are also required for growth and development of the brain, nervous system, adrenal glands, sex organs, and eyes. In addition, they maintain the health of cell membranes, produce hormones and brain chemicals, and regulate various cell processes.

Clinical studies suggest that flax seed oil may be helpful in reducing the risk of a variety of conditions, including heart disease. Evidence suggests that people who eat a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids are less likely to suffer a fatal heart attack. Omega-3s may reduce heart disease risks through a variety of ways, including making platelets less “sticky”, reducing inflammation, promoting blood vessel health, and reducing the risk of arrhythmia (irregular heart beat). Several human studies also suggest that diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids may lower blood pressure.
