Flaxseed oil is one of the richest and best sources in nature of vital plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. And that's not all. The benefits of flaxseed oil extend beyond its high omega-3 content, which is why it should be added to the mandatory health supplements.
Flaxseed oil is obtained from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum). Flaxseed is actually one of the oldest crops, as it has been cultivated since the beginning of civilization. The Latin name for flaxseed means "very useful" and this is because every part of flaxseed is used.
Flaxseed and flaxseed oil are important functional nutrients because they are rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA). In fact, flaxseed is the richest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed oil is low in saturated fatty acids, moderate in monounsaturated fatty acids and rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Like seeds, flaxseed oil is loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which are associated with healthier brains and hearts, better mood, reduced inflammation and healthier skin and hair. That's right, flaxseed oil improves the appearance of hair, skin and others.
Flaxseed oil contains 50% to 60% omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). With even more anti-inflammatory and disease-preventing ALA omega-3s from fish oil, many people choose the benefits of flaxseed oil over the benefits of fish oil.
Omega-3 deficiency is associated with lower intelligence, depression, heart disease, arthritis, cancer and many other health problems.
