Flax Seed Oil w/Lignans
Overview
Tiny, cold-pressed flax seeds provide essential fatty acids (EFAs) that support heart health and circulation.
Enjoy this vegetable source of Omega 3, 6 & 9 fatty acids...Flax Seed Oil (with Lignans)...in convenient softgel capsules!
Flax seed oil is an excellent source of heart-healthful EFAs, while naturally-occurring lignans help boost immunity and support breast and prostate health.
Fatty acids are termed “essential” because the body cannot manufacture them.
EFAs are vital to many body functions and processes, including creating healthy cell membranes, supporting immune system activity, maintaining normal blood platelet activity and cholesterol levels, and promoting a healthy inflammatory response.
Flax seed oil is an excellent source of fatty acids and is a convenient plant-source alternative to fish oils.
In fact, flax seed oil contains twice as much omega-3 EFA as fish oil products, without the fishy aftertaste.
Nature's Sunshine Flax Seed Oil (with Lignans) is a vegetable source of omega-3 EFA, alpha-linolenic acid, and linoleic acid (omega-6 EFA), all in the correct proportions.
Our Flax Seed Oil softgels also contain natural plant lignans that provides immune system support in addition to circulatory benefits.*
Plus, Flax Seed Oil (with Lignans) provides the ideal ratio of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 EFAs required to maintain the necessary balance between good and bad prostaglandins.*

How It Works
An improper balance of EFAs in the diet can lead to increased production of "bad” prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins are compounds in the body that have hormone-like effects.
Prostaglandins are part of the body's inflammatory response and are produced in the body in response to injury or illness.
Several scientific studies show that consumption of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) can benefit the heart.
Since North Americans are typically lacking omega-3 EFAs in their diet, flax seed oil is a great source for these essential nutrients.
EFAs from flax seed oil also support the structural integrity of cellular membranes, offering associated benefits to the cardiovascular and nervous systems.
Flax seeds naturally contain lignans, which are phytoestrogens that provide powerful benefits, including boosting the immune system, maintaining hormone balance, and supporting breast and prostate health.
Flax seeds are also high in thiamine, a B-vitamin that helps with energy metabolism.
