Besides being the most inexpensive and practical source of omega 3 fatty acids (55-60%), Flax Oil is also a source of the omega 6 fats, carotene, and vitamin E.
Description:
The oil pressed from flax is a practical source of omega-3 fatty acids; it is also a source of Omega 6-fats,lecithin,carotene,and VitaminE.
Although Flax Oil has been used as a therapeutic remedy since the days of Ancient Greece and Rome,we now know that the Essential Fatty Acids contained within Flax Oil are essential for:
Proper hormone balance.
Cell oxygenation.
Healthy immune system.
Proper growth.
Prevent drying and flaking skin.
Exercising to help fatigued muscles recover rapidly.
Proper brain and nerve functions (fat constitutes 70% of brain and nerve cell tissue).
Fresh Flax Oil is extremely rich in Essential Fatty Acids (also called EFAs), containing an impressive 57% alpha-linolenic acid and 17% linoleic acid.EFAs are essential for life,and since the body cannot produce them,they must be supplied by food.
Fortunately, fresh Flax Oil is making a comeback thanks to scientific discoveries by Dr.Budwig and Kousmine in Europe,as outlined in the book Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill by Dr . Udo Erasmus,PhD.Vegetarian FlaxOil is better tasting than fish oil,is organic and does not contain toxins such as PCB s,Dioxins and Mercury.
