Flaxseed oil is an excellent source of the essential omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Since the body is unable to manufacture this important fatty acid, consuming flaxseed oil is a simple and effective way to ensure optimal intake of alpha-linolenic acid. Alpha-linolenic acid is used by the body to manufacture the omega-3 fats EPA and DHA. Omega-3 fats provide significant support for healthy cardiovascular and neurological function as well as normal, healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.† The omega-3 fats also serve as the raw material for the synthesis of compounds which help support cardiovascular and neurological function as well as a favorable inflammatory response.†
