Natural Factors Flaxseed Oil 1300mg 90 Softgels

Organically processed and cold pressed Flaxseed Oil is derived from certified organic Canadian flax, grown in Alberta, and high in the omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids may help maintain healthy triglyceride and cholesterol levels, protecting against cardiovascular disease.

Lignans, found in flaxseeds, are valuable phytoestrogens that help to maintain normal estrogen levels and they may protect against certain cancers, particularly hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast, endometrium and prostate cancer. Studies showing a protective effect are suggestive, not conclusive.
Note: “lignans”. Although they are structurally related and share a cinnamic acid residue, and they may be synthesized in a similar pathway. Hence, they exhibit different biological effects. Lignans are a type of insoluble fibre in plant cell walls. They do not have the anti-estrogen effects that lignans do.

Benefits of flaxseed oil:
– Maintains the health of cell membranes.
– Protects against hormone-related cancers (eg, breast and prostate cancer).
– Reduces inflammation.
– Reduces menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes.
– Improves the appearance of hair, skin and nails.
– Helps protect against heart disease and cataract.
