NOW Foods Flax Oil, 1000mg
NOW Foods Flax Oil 1000mg is a softgel made with organic flax oil, a plant source of the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
Key features
- 1000mg flax seed oil
- Made with organic flax oil
- Natural source of the omega-3 ALA
- Pressed to stay as close as possible to the oil as it is in the seed
- Softgel seals in the oil to protect it from oxidation and contamination
ALA is classed as an essential fatty acid because the body cannot make it from other fats, so it has to come from food. Flax oil is a popular plant-based way to include it, and the softgel format avoids the need to measure out liquid oil.
Available in 100 and 250 softgel sizes.
