Herbal Select Fresh Organic Flax Oil Liquid

Flaxseed oil is one of the most abundant and most affordable sources of the omega-3 fat, alpha-linolenic acid (abbreviated ALA or LNA). ALA is an essential fatty acid because it must come from the diet--the human body cannot synthesize it. ALA is one of the anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats that research shows is effective as a preventative and treatment for various cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease, high blood sugar, and high blood fat (triglycerides). ALA should not be confused with linoleic acid (abbreviated LA), which is the omega-6 essential fat. Herbal Select organic flax seed oil is cold pressed, which means that the oil stays fresh during extraction and is protected from damage caused by heat and moisture.
