DESCRIPTION

Flax Seed Oil is an important source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an Omega 3 series of essential fatty acids. ALA is the precursor to EPA and the Series 3 prostaglandins, which are critical hormones regulating cellular activity. PGE3's protect the body against the deleterious effects of high blood pressure, sticky platelets, inflammation, water retention, and lowered immune fuction. Numerous studies have shown that Omega 3 fatty acids help lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides, and prevent clots in arteries which may result in strokes, heart attacks, and thromboses.

RESEARCH SUMMARY

  • EPA is a high source of the Series 3 prostaglandins which protect the body from sticky platelets
  • Omega 3 EFAs help with high blood pressure, inflammation, and water retention
  • Omega 3 EFAs increase overall function of the cardiovascular system
  • DHA increases functions of the brain and nerves
  • Omega 3 EFAs help lower blood triglycerides and cholesterol levels
