NUTRITION OIL RANGE - Flaxseed Oil 250ml (Crede Oils)
HEALTH IS PRICELESS
Description | What is flaxseed oil? Flaxseed oil is extracted from the seeds of the flax plant, and is one of the richest natural sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids. It’s a popular and effective nutritional supplement, because of its high concentration of ALA (omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid). Flaxseed oil contains far more omega-3s than most other common seed oils, as well as disease-fighting lignans that come from the flaxseed shell. Did you know? During digestion, the ALAs in flaxseed oil get partly converted into EPA and DHA – the two chief omega-3 fatty acids found in marine oils. Did you know? During digestion, the ALAs in flaxseed oil get partly converted into EPA and DHA – the two chief omega-3 fatty acids found in marine oils. Credé Flaxseed Oil Credé Flaxseed Oil is cold-pressed and unfiltered, to retain the lignans found naturally in the oil. It is packaged in dark, glass bottles to protect the oil from light and oxygen, which could degrade the quality of the product over time. We recommend refrigerating the flaxseed oil (especially once the bottle has been opened) as this slows down the rate of oxidation, and preserves your oil for longer. Credé offers conventional flaxseed oil, organic flaxseed oil, and organic flax oil capsules. Did you know? Plastic bottles are somewhat porous, and allow oxygen to penetrate over time, reducing the lifespan of the product within. This is why Credé Flaxseed Oil is always sold in glass.

Health Benefits | Omega-3s and ALA ALA – is an omega-3 essential fatty acid – one of the vital nutrients our bodies need that cannot be made up from anything else. Unfortunately, foods naturally high in omega-3s (nuts, seeds, and dark leafy greens) feature far less in the modern ‘Western’ diet than they should. Cooking or processing these foods dramatically decreases their benefit as well, which can make getting enough omega-3s a challenge. Taking an omega-3 supplement like flaxseed oil makes it a lot easier to meet the dietary requirements recommended by nutritionists. | ||||
