About Organic, Non-GMO, Expeller Pressed Flaxseed Oil

Up until about 100 years ago, the average omega-6/3 ratio has been around 4:1 or less. However, the typical Western diet now provides a ratio of approximately 20:1 in favor of omega-6.

​

Data suggests this has contributed to a rise of allergic and autoimmune diseases over the last several decades. Additionally, a high dietary omega-6/3 ratio creates supraphysiologic inflammatory responses and perpetuates chronic low-grade inflammation.

Flaxseed is an important functional food ingredient because of its rich contents of Omega 3, Omega 6, lignans, & fiber. Flaxseed oil provides health benefits such as a reduction of cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, autoimmune, and neurological disorders. 

Dietary flaxseed oil improved feed efficiency and increased ALA deposition into yolk compared to a milled source, demonstrating flaxseed oil highly viable for ALA egg enrichment.

Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are not interconvertible, are metabolically and functionally distinct, and often have important opposing physiological effects, therefore their balance in the diet is important.

Consumption of flaxseed in different forms has valuable effects and protects against cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, inflammation and some other complications. Flaxseed can serve as a promising candidate for the management of metabolic syndrome to control blood lipid levels, fasting blood sugar, insulin resistance, body weight, waist circumference, body mass and blood pressure.

DHA can provide important health benefits for many people. For example, DHA may help people with ADHD focus on tasks more easily and with fewer distractions. Many people with ADHD have been tested to have lower blood levels of DHA than people without ADHD. Supplementing your diet with DHA can reduce symptoms of ADHD and help you focus more easily.

Scientists suspect that a distorted ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may be one of the most damaging aspects of the Western diet.

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The inclusion of functional foods and natural health products in the diet such as Flaxseed oil, are gaining increasing recognition as integral components of lifestyle changes in the fight against cardiovascular disease. 

DHA, also known as; n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA), is considered a crucial macronutrient in the development and maintenance of learning, and memory performance, throughout life.
