Organic Flax Oil Liquid, 16 oz, From Spectrum Essentials

Organic Flax Oil is the richest vegetarian source of omega-3 essential fatty acids – nutrients that every cell in your body needs and that must be obtained through diet. There are about 50 essential elements our bodies require for everyday health and longevity. They are considered “essential” because our bodies cannot manufacture them; we must acquire them from the diet. Most of these essential elements are vitamins, minerals and amino acids, but two are the essential fatty acids known as omega-3 and omega-6. Omega-3 is regarded by many nutritionists and researchers as a leading therapeutic fatty acid because of its importance in aiding the body to maintain healthy cell structure, promote metabolic energy and enhance immune function. However, most of the population, (about 80%), is believed to be deficient in omega-3.

Vegetarian flax oil is one of the richest sources of omega-3, containing twice the density found in salmon—a familiar source of omega-3. Flax is also rich in phospholipids, which form cell membranes, promote nerve insulation, and improve immunity. Flax also provides sterols, precursors to many hormonal constituents such as estrogen and testosterone.
