Flax seed oil
is currently receiving a great deal of attention from respected
nutritionists world-wide, since research has shown it to be one of
the world’s richest natural food sources of the omega 3
essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid.
Flax seed oil
is an excellent alternative to fish oils as the oil obtained from
flax seed is 60% by weight alpha-linolenic acid and contains almost
twice as much omega 3 per gram of weight than fish oils.
Alpha-linolenic acid is converted by the body into the omega 3 fatty
acids present in fish oil (EPA and DHA) as required. As an essential
nutrient, alpha-linolenic acid is required in large amounts by the
body but because it is highly unstable, it is not always possible to
be sure how much is available in the diet.
Flax seed oil
is also a useful source of linoleic acid, the ‘parent’
fatty acid to the omega 6 fatty acids, for which evening primrose is
so well known.
The flax seed
oil from Lamberts® is cold pressed to ensure that the nutritive
qualities are retained. We also check the degree of saturation, a
clear indicator of freshness and stability, to make sure our capsules
deliver the claimed nutrients. The capsules are gelatin-free and
provide 1000mg of pure flax seed oil, without the aftertaste or odour
associated with fish oils. |
