Flax Seed Oil
FREE Delivery on Orders Over $70
Extensive research has demonstrated the health benefits of essential fatty acids in reducing the risk of heart attack. Flax seed oil is often used in weight loss supplements because of its positive effects in burning fat. Flax seed Oil is one of Nature's richest plant sources of essential fatty acids (EFAs) which are necessary for health and must be supplied by the diet. Flax seed oil
health benefits also include preventing
cardiovascular disease and blood pressure
management. An example of this occurred when two trial groups,
selected from 25 nonobese participants with mild to moderate hypertension,
were given either linoleic acid (sunflower oil) and alpha-linolenic
acid (linseed oil) or their reduced forms, GLA (360 mg a day) and
EPA (180 mg a day). The first group was delta-6-desaturase dependent;
the second group was not. After 8-12 weeks, the group receiving the
GLA and EPA had reduced their blood pressure by about 10%. Those in
the first group, who lacked the activity of delta-6-desaturase, experienced
no significant hypotensive benefit. This observation may indicate
that the defective desaturation of the essential fatty acids by the
enzyme delta-6-desaturase plays an important role in the etiology
of essential hypertension (Venter et al. 1988). Each capsules
