Organic Edible Flaxseed Oil – 250ml

Our organic cold-pressed flaxseed oil has a beautiful golden-yellow color and a distinctive flaxseed aroma. It is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, an omega-3 fatty acid), lignans, and dietary fiber.

Health Benefits Supports Joint and Cardiovascular Health The linoleic acid (ALA) in flaxseed oil plays a significant role in preventing arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, when included in women’s diets, flaxseed oil enhances hair shine and significantly boosts the immune system.

The high content of omega-3 fatty acids helps reduce LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood. This can contribute to heart health and protection against cardiovascular diseases.

Promotes Gut Health

Flaxseed oil has natural laxative properties. A study involving 50 patients undergoing hemodialysis found that daily consumption of flaxseed oil helped relieve constipation.

Additionally, a small study conducted in 2012 on individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) showed that flaxseeds helped alleviate some IBS symptoms, including constipation and diarrhea.

Aids in Weight Loss

A 2012 study published in the journal Appetite suggested that flaxseed supplements may help suppress appetite, leading to reduced food intake and, consequently, weight loss. Experts attribute this effect to the soluble fiber in flaxseed, which promotes a feeling of fullness.

Reduces Menopause Symptoms

There is evidence suggesting that flaxseed oil may help reduce menopausal symptoms. A 2015 study involving 140 menopausal women who took flaxseed oil supplements found that their hot flashes decreased, and their overall quality of life improved.
