Omega Nutrition Flax Seed Oil, 16-Ounce

Omega Nutrition's Flax Seed Oil is nature's finest quality. It is the best and freshest unrefined, certified-organic flax seed oil available. Grown without pesticides or artificial fertilizers, we cold-press and process at low temperatures to preserve all nutritional value. Organic flax oil is the richest vegetarian source of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA 's). Since our bodies cannot produce EFA 's, they must be obtained from our diet. Flax seed oil is unique because it contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that are necessary for maintaining good health. Our bodies depend on EFA 's for normal cell function. Essential fatty acids act as building blocks in cell membranes, and produce hormone-like substances necessary for energy metabolism and cardiovascular and immune health. Flax seed oil contains more than twice the amount of omega-3 fatty acids as fish oils.
