NATURES AID FLAXSEED OIL CAPSULES

As more and more people become aware of the importance of fats in their diet, there is a growing interest in the benefits of using oils, particularly plant oils, to maintain good health. Recent research suggests that plant oils, including flaxseed, can help to maintain a healthy brain, heart and immune system, when they are taken in the right ratio.

Flaxseed oil is an excellent source of Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) which is an omega 3 fatty acid, Linoleic Acid (LA) which is an omega 6 fatty acid and omega 9. ALA is a precursor of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DPA), important omega 3 fatty acids, which are converted to non- or qualities prostaglandins and leukotrienes in the body, which subsequently helps with discomfort in the body. Good health requires the right ratio of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids in the diet. The ideal ratio is around 1:2. The average diet in the UK is more around 1:20 to 1:50, with way too much omega 6 and not enough omega 3. The ratio present in Flaxseed oil is about 1:2.
