There is increasing scientific evidence that supports the use of essential fatty acid supplements to prevent the appearance of different disorders.
There are two families of essential fatty acids, the Omega 3 series and the Omega 6 series. The two series are of vital importance to ensure optimal nutrition, and since the body is unable to manufacture them from other nutrients ( hence the term "essential"), it is essential that both series of fatty acids are present in the diet.
Research indicates that Omega 3 fatty acids are important for maintaining heart, joint, and skin health. Flaxseed oil is an excellent alternative to fish oils, since the oil obtained from flaxseeds contains 60% of its alpha-linolenic acid content, and contains almost twice as many Omega 3 per gram as fish oils.
The body transforms Alpha-Linolenic Acid into the Omega 3 fatty acids present in fish oil (EPA and DHA) according to its needs. Being an essential nutrient, the body needs Alpha-Linolenic Acid in large quantities, but since it is highly unstable, it is not always possible to know the exact amount that our diet provides.
LAMBERTS Flax Seed Oil is cold pressed to ensure that its nutritional qualities are retained. Flax Seed Oil is also a good source of Linoleic acid; the other main essential fatty acid that our diets must provide.
• Vegetarian source of Omega 3.
• The capsule and vitamin E protect the Omega 3 from oxidation.
