Flax Seed Oil is nature’s richest vegetarian source of Omega-3 essential fatty acid. Essential means just that - Essential to life! Your body cannot exist without Essential Fatty Acids. They act as lubricants, cushions and insulators, guarding against the stresses that we encounter. They provide structure to all cell membranes. Your body cannot produce essential fatty acids, so most importantly, we need to eat them in our food everyday - they only come from food. Today, many people are now realising that it is a necessity to consume the ‘good fats’ and reduce the ‘harmful fats’. The table below - Shows that many of the oils and fish you eat do not contain the Omega-3 levels that most people believe they are consuming. A deficiency of either Omega-3 or Omega-6 may result in progressively poorer health. Product ranking % Omega-3 1. Tru2u Flax Seed Oil 60.0 2. Standard Flax Seed Oil 59.14 3. Salmon Oil 35.98 4.

From the Field • Some people believe Flax Seed Oil comes from the native New Zealand flax plant. It is actually derived from the linseed plant. • Linseed oil and Flax Seed Oil are both derived from the same plant. • The difference stems from the way the oil is obtained from the seed. • Food-grade Flax Seed Oil is cold-pressed, without heat or light, where as linseed oil is usually extracted using a solvent, and used for industrial purposes. • Flax Seed Oil also comes from seeds that have been breed to have more essential fatty acids.
