Flax Seed Oil has an abundance of alpha-Linolenic Acid, an Omega-3 fatty acid that can be converted into Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA). Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that are poorly represented in the modern diet. These important fatty acids help to support a healthy and balanced immune system, are important for cardiovascular health, and promote the maintenance of healthy skin.* This Flax Seed Oil has been cold processed to be as close to the original seed oil composition as possible. Care has been taken to bring this product to market in softgels, a delivery form that hermetically seals the oil and protects it from oxidation and contamination. No preservatives, additives, bleaches or fillers are used with this oil.
