Description
- NOW Flax Oil 1000 mg is a natural reservoir for the omega-3 fatty acid, Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA). ALA is considered an essential fatty acid, because the body cannot make it from other fats and must obtain it from the diet.
- Flax Oil has been shown to support cardiovascular health and to promote the maintenance of healthy skin.
- This non-GMO Flax Seed Oil has been specially pressed to be as close to the original oil in the seed as possible.
- Extreme care has been taken in bringing this product to the market in the softgel form, which hermetically seals the oil and protects it from oxidation and contamination.
- Each serving may also have the following naturally occurring amounts of polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats: Linolenic Acid (Omega-3) 55%; Linoleic Acid (Omega-6) 14%; Oleic Acid (Omega-9) 19%; Other (Saturated) 12%.
