Our bodies cannot create Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), which is probably why 80% of Americans are diet deficient. They have to be obtained from vegetable and fish sources, where they are naturally occurring. The major functions of EFAs include reduction of arthritis pain; cushioning for your tissues and organs; prevention of dry, flaky skin; insulation for your body against heat loss; production of prostaglandin, necessary for energy, metabolism, cardiovascular, and immune system health.
The Omega Fatty Acids (good fats) are critical to your health.
Studies indicate that alpha-linolenic acid may lower risk of breast cancer and also may delay or prevent the development of metastases in breast cancer patients.
Omega 3 fatty acids may help prevent attention deficit disorder and mental disorders with fetal children. May be beneficial in fighting yeast and fungus.
Organic flax seed oil contains major fatty acids, Omega-3's and Omega-6's, and is known for being their richest source. Flax seed oil has very large quantities of phytoestrogen, which creates hormonal balance and decreases the symptoms related to menopause; and alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid, found to protect against vascular disease, inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, a compromised immune system, and possibly depression.
It also contains a high content of lignans, which work much like antioxidants in fighting free radicals so the body can rebuild and produce new cells. Our Flaxgels have 1000mg of a major fatty acid composition: a-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid, and others.
