“Flaxseed is the seed from the plant Linum usitatissimum it is grown in northern Western Canada which contains Omega-3 (Alpha-Linoleic Acid), Omega- 6 (Linoleic Acid) and Omega-9(Oleic Acid) fatty acids known to have numerous health benefits, Flaxseed oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc and also provides approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than what you could get from taking fish oil. Due to its antibacterial-antiviral properties, studies have shown that flax oil boosts the body’s immune system. It also appears to be beneficial for heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and a variety of other health conditions. Flaxseed contains a group of chemicals called lignans that may play a role in the prevention of cancer.

Omega 3 fatty acids benefit almost every cell in the body. Studies indicate that omega 3 helps to protect the cardiovascular system, reduce high blood pressure, improve the quality of hair, nails and skin, helps to lower cholesterol, prevents arthritis, and assists in weight loss.

Omega 6 fatty acids are generally necessary for skin and hair growth, regulating metabolism, promoting transport of fatty acids from the liver to the tissues and maintaining reproductive performance. Researchers believe that they have an important role in reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke.

Omega-9 fatty acids (ω−9 fatty acids or n−9 fatty acids) are a family of unsaturated fatty acids which have in common a final carbon–carbon double bond in the omega−9 position; that is, the ninth bond from the methyl end of the fatty acid.”
