Flax Seed Oil [Circulatory, Immune]. Several scientific studies show that consumption of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) leads to a substantially lower risk of death from coronary heart disease. Flax Seed Oil is a rich source of these EFAs. It also contains lignans—substances known to stimulate immune activity—and linoleic acid, another essential fatty acid. These two fatty acids are termed “essential” because the body cannot manufacture them. EFAs are precursors to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Until recently, experts believed the best sources of omega-3 were fish oils. While fish oils are a good source, flax seed oil contains twice as much omega-3 essential fatty acids as fish oil products, without the fishy aftertaste. Each concentrated softgel capsule contains 550 mg omega-3 essential fatty acids. Take 1–2 softgels with a meal three times daily. Also available in a liquid for those who desire an easy way to get a greater concentration. One tablespoon equals approximately 14 softgels. Take 1 tablespoon one to two times daily.
