Flax Seed Oil

Helps Your Heart Naturally!

Flax Seed Oil is a rich source of Omega-3 Fatty Acid, alpha linolenic acid, which is necessary for a wide variety of biological processes.   Unfortunately, mass commercial refinement of fats and oils products and foods containing them has effectively eliminated the essential fatty acids from our food chain, contributing to our modern day deficiency.  Flax Seed Oil is considered by many to be the answer to this health dilemma. Oil extracted from flax seed is unique because it contains both essential fatty acids:  alpha-linolenic, an omega-3 fatty acid, and linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, in appreciable amounts.  Flax Seed Oil is the world's richest source of omega-3 fatty acids at a whopping 57% (over two times the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as fish oils).  Omega-3 fatty  acids have been extensively studied for their beneficial effects toward the following:  arthritis, cancer, high cholesterol levels, heart pain "angina", high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, eczema, stroke, and heart attack.  The high content of omega-3 fatty acids in Flax Seed Oil is but one of its positive attributes.

The essential fatty acids combined here have proven to impart a regulatory function on the body's fatty acid metabolism.  Fat metabolism is as important, if not more critical, than our body's metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates as evidenced by the drastic rise in fat related degenerative diseases, such as vascular disease and strokes.   Dietary essential fatty acids common to flax seed oil are ultimately converted to hormone-like substances known as prostaglandins.  They are important for the regulation of a host of bodily functions including inflammation, pain, swelling, pressure in the eye, joints or blood vessels, secretions from mucus membranes and their viscosity, smooth muscle and autonomic reflexes, gastrointestinal, arterial, ear, heart, water retention, blood clotting ability, allergic response, rheumatoid arthritis, nerve transmission and steroid production and hormone synthesis.  Natrol's Flax Seed Oil is manufactured without the use of hexane solvents and naturally supports cardiovascular health.*   Additional Flax Seed Oil Information
