Modern manufacturing methods of polyunsaturated oils have done much to remove these important fats from our food chain. Large scale nutritional surveys suggest that much of our population is deficient in essential fatty acids.

Recent scientific research, coupled with flaxseed oil's long history of therapeutic use, has propelled essential fat supplementation into the forefront of human nutrition.

This unique plant seed oil is nature's most concentrated source of alpha linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. Flax seed oil also provides linoleic (omega-6) and oleic acids (omega-9).

Because Essential Fatty Acids are easily destroyed by light and heat, our liquid flax seed oil has been mechanically cold pressed to avoid harmful peroxides and to maintain a smooth fresh taste.

Our flax oil is the industry standard, Barlean's brand, and is derived from 100% certified organic flax seeds.

Our Flaxseed Oil is processed to retain high lignan levels. Lignans are a highly studied and researched class of plant chemical (phytochemical) and a form of insoluble fiber that have recently come to the forefront of nutritional research. Compelling studies funded by the National Cancer Institute have shown that lignans may possess impressive preventative properties. Research has established that the amount of lignans present in human blood samples is directly related to the amount of lignan rich producing foods consumed. When flaxseed was compared to other lignan rich producing foods, it was found to have 200-800 times more lignan precursors. By using the Barlean's Bio-Electron process the flax particulates (high in lignan precursors) is retained in the oil, offering nature's richest source of these valuable plant chemicals.
