Welcome... We're very happy to have you as a customer! We have something for everyone at flaxseedoilonline.com! What is flax seed oil? What does flax seed oil do? High Lignan Omega Flow Omega 3 *****************************************
Although flax seed has not been a common food in the diet of North Americans, flax seed has been around for thousands of years. One of the first crops ever grown, the people of Scandinavia, Africa, and Asia eat flax seed regularly. Also known as linseed, flax seeds are brown in color and have a deep nutty flavor.
The phyto (i.e., plant) nutrients in flax seed may interfere with the development of breast, prostate, colon and other tumors in humans. The viscous nature of soluble fibers, such as flax seed oil mucilage, is believed to slow down digestion and absorption of starch, resulting in lower levels of blood glucose and insulin, and normalizing other endocrine responses. Flax seed consumption (only 50 grams per day for four weeks) by young healthy adults and by the elderly has been shown to increase the number of bowel movements per week by about 30 percent, thus relieving constipation and possible intestinal toxemia. Equally important is the role that essential fatty acids found in flax seed oil play in brain development. Studies on rats and rhesus monkeys reveal that dietary restriction of omega 3 fatty acids during pregnancy and lactation interferes with normal visual function and impairs learning ability in offspring, and may make the brain more susceptible to the damaging effects of environmental toxins and alcohol. When school children in Manitowac, Wisconsin were placed on a diet including flax, their teachers and parents reported improved behavior, higher test scores, and better attendance. 'Healing Power of Flax' pg 13. by Dr. Herb Joiner-Bey Saturated fats and vegetable oils like corn, soy and sunflower oil are high in Omega-6 fatty acids and interfere with the body’s ability to utilize Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA’s). Since our bodies cannot produce Omega-3 essential fatty acids naturally, they must be obtained from our diet. Flax seed oil is the most convenient, efficient and great-tasting way to get your EFAs! Did you know that flax seed is available in a high lignan product? We carry Nutriflax and High Lignan flax seed oil products by Omega Nutrition. Flax seed oil contains 75 to 800 more lignans than any other plant source. These products contain high amounts of the flax hull which has a higher concentration of lignans than regular seed oil. Omega Nutrition has trademarked the omegaflow process. This process preserves essential fatty acids and prevents oxidation that normally occurs through the chopping and pressing of flax seeds. Omega Nutrition's products are made without light, oxygen or heat. This ensures freshness, quality nutrition and longer shelf life.
Omega 3 Flax seed contains the highest concentration of omega-3 in nature. Omega-3 fatty acids are dispensable cellular building blocks. These nutrients must be ingested as food or through nutritional supplementation. There are no enzymes in the human body that can convert other classes of fatty acids (omega-6 or omega-9) into omega-3 fats. If you don't eat omega-3s, you don't get omega-3s. Each of our 100 trillion cells should be supplied with an optimal amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Within the cell wall, omega-3 fatty acids serve to secure structural integrity, as well as facilitate cellular respiration. In the absence of adequate omega-3 fatty acids, the body must use less desirable fatty acids as surrogates (omega-6 fatty acids and even saturatged fats), leading to compromised cellular integrity and overall health. Omega Nutrition's flax seed oils, powders and capsules are of the highest lignan content. Flax seed oil will improve overall health in areas such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, arthritis, diabetes, various cancers and many different forms of skin diseases today.
All products are certified organic, Kosher and 100% Vegetarian. No cholesterol. No harmful trans-fatty acids!
