A healthy human body uses Omega 3 (derived from Flaxseed Oil, Salmon, Sardines, and Canola Oil) and Omega 6 Linoleic Acid (derived from Evening Primrose, Sunflower, Safflower Oil) to produce prostaglandins, tiny chemicals responsible for regulating actions in the body such as the widening and narrowing of arteries, the onset of inflammation, clotting of blood, and combating fever and pain.
People suffering from eczema and psoriasis may also find omega-3 fatty acids supplementation helpful.
Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to help reduce cholesterol and improve blood lipid profiles. They inhibit triglycerides synthesis in the liver and so help to lower fats (triglycerides) in the blood of healthy people, therefore supporting a healthy cardiovascular system.
Thompsons Flaxseed Oil is a ideal source of omega 3 fatty acids for vegetarians and vegans.
Thompson’s Flaxseed Oil is extracted by ‘cold-pressing’, the mechanical extraction of the oil from the seed, at a temperature less than 50 degrees Celsius, before undergoing filtration. No chemicals are added. After filtration the oil is nitrogen blanketed and stored at low temperatures to avoid oxidation. The oil is encapsulated in Non-gelatin capsules providing a well-sealed environment which prevents oxidation and maintains freshness of the oil – this results in a high quality product which is rich in Essential Fatty acids.
