Flax Seed Oil 1000mg (Sandersons)

Sanderson Flax Seed Oil comes from the seeds of the flax plant. Flax Seed Oil contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are needed for health. Flax Seed Oil contains the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which the body converts into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil.

Omega-3 fatty acids, usually from fish oil, have been shown to help manage inflammation and support the body’s resistance to certain chronic health problems. Getting a good balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet is important. A healthy diet should consist of roughly 2 – 4 times fewer omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids. Scientific studies suggest that flaxseed oil or other omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful in Cholesterol health and heart health.

Preliminary evidence that suggests taking 1 – 2 g of flaxseed per day can help manage the symptoms of dry eye in people with Sjogren’s syndrome. Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune condon where the immune system attacks glands in the body that produce moisture, like salivary and tear glands. Some evidence suggests flax seed oil may be beneficial for women who experience PMS or in menopause when experiencing hot flushes. It has also been suggested that positive benefits for breast and prostate health are achievable with flax seed oil. Skin condition, digestive and bowel health may all be supported by taking flax seed oil.
