CYTO11360
| Product Description |
The fresh oil of the flax seed is the richest omega 3 edible oil we know. It has a
rich, deep golden colour with a gentle pleasant aroma and a nutty taste. If it
tastes too heavy, the freshness must be questioned.
Organic Flaxseed Oil
Cytoplan liquid flax seed oil is organic and although more expensive than the
non-organic oils, the benefits are multi-fold. Our primary aim is to offer products
which are of benefit to health. We believe for the following reasons that the
organic flax seed oil is of greater health benefit than non-organic linseed oil:
Its organic status means that it is
Free from pesticides
Free from herbicides
It is cold pressed which means that it is much purer and far less processed.
People use flaxseed oil for its omega 3 content. Omega 3 oils are easily damaged
by processing. They also degenerate quickly in the presence of oxygen, hence
our bottles being flushed out with nitrogen to enhance the stability of the oil.
The omega 3 content of the organic flaxseed oil is likely to be more active than in
non-organic linseed oil. Anecdotal evidence to date indicates that people who
regularly take linseed oil have found that they need less of the organic flaxseed
oil for the same effect.
Flaxseed oil is the richest known source of the unsaturated alpha-linolenic acid
(LNA 18:3w:3) which is necessary for physical health but lacking in the foods
most people regularly eat. Flax seed oil contains about 45-65% LNA. The
remainder of the oil is monounsaturated oleic acid and about 10% saturated
fatty acids.
Fresh, unrefined flax oil contains lecithin and other phospholipids that help
emulsify fats and oils for easier digestion and can contribute to physical health.
Flax seed oil also contains beta carotene and vitamin E. These vitamins are
necessary to stabilise the oil in both the bottle and the body. When oil
is refined, vitamins and lecithin are removed and its stability and many
health-giving components are lost.
