History and Usage:
Flaxseed oil is one of nature's richest plant sources of essential fatty acids (EFA's). Flaxseed oil is rich in omega-3 in the form of alpha-linoleic acid (ALA). In the body, ALA is converted into two other, more bioavailable fatty acids – eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The American Heart Association has endorsed omega-3 fatty acids as good for the heart. Through the years, hundreds of studies have established that individuals with diets high in omega-3 fatty acids experience a decrease in the risk of heart attack, stroke and abnormal heart rhythms. Two clinical studies concluded that including omega-3 rich foods or supplements in the diet could prevent sudden death from abnormal heart rhythms. Omega-3 fatty acids decrease the LDL (“bad”) cholesterol in your blood while increasing the HDL (“good”) cholesterol helping you control high cholesterol. They also protect the heart by preventing blood clots and keeping other fats from injuring arterial walls.
Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids help lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides, and prevent clots in arteries which may result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses. Other benefits from supplemental flaxseed oil may include increased energy, faster healing, PMS relief and much more.
Besides omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed oil contains chemicals called lignans. Scientists believe lignans have antioxidant properties. There is some research in animals that suggests consumption of flaxseed may reduce the number and size of certain cancers. Further research is ongoing.
