Description
Organic Flax Oil by Flora is an excellent source of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). Essential Fatty Acids are “good” fats, but the body cannot make them on its own – they must be obtained from our diets. Supplementing with oil pressed from flax provides both omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs as well as omega-9 to promote optimal nutrition and health. Many of us do not consume enough EFAs in our diet making supplementation an important part of great health for the whole family. Flax oil should be kept refrigerated and should never be subjected to heat. Heat destroys the healthy properties of the EFA’s.
- Each 15mL serving (1 tbsp) contains 7g omega-3
- Fresh-pressed, unrefined, virgin flaxseed oil
- “Seed to bottle” – Flora gets the seeds, presses them, and bottles the oil themselves
- Flora has superior quality control measures in place to ensure purity and potency
- These completely unadulterated oils naturally vary in taste from season to season. Flax usually has a light, nutty taste, but bitter notes are also normal
