Flaxseed oil is one of nature's richest plant sources of essential
fatty acids (EFA's). Flaxseed oil is rich in Omega-3 in the form of
alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
In the body, ALA is converted into two other, more bioavailable fatty
acids – eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The
American Heart Association has endorsed omega-3 fatty acids as good for
the heart.
Through the years, hundreds of studies have established that
individuals with diets high in omega-3 fatty acids may experience a
decrease in the risk of heart attack, stroke and abnormal heart
rhythms. Two clinical studies concluded that including omega-3 rich
foods or supplements in the diet could help prevent sudden death from
abnormal heart rhythms.
Studies show that Omega-3 fatty acids may help support healthy
cholesterol levels and blood triglycerides, and prevent clots in
arteries, which may result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses.
Other benefits from supplementing flaxseed oil may include increased
energy, faster healing, PMS relief and much more.
Besides omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed oil contains chemicals
called lignans. Scientists believe lignans have antioxidant properties.
Further research is ongoing.
