Flaxseed Oil is full of the heart-healthy fat, Omega-3, that has multiple important health benefits and vital to your physical and mental health. But, because our body can't make Omega-3, we need to get it from our diet. Flaxseed Oil is one of the richest sources of Omega-3 fatty acids that you can get. Being an unsaturated fat, Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid) is the "good" kind of fat needed for a healthy body. It's delicious too - and you don't get a fishy after-taste or belly repeats that you get with fish oil! Getting your daily recommended amount of Omega-3 is as easy as drizzling Flaxseed Oil over salads, cereals, pototoes; added to smoothies, dressings, dips; or simply just taken by spoonful. Get drizzling, get healthy! So much to love about this oil!

Health Benefits

  • HEART HEALTH - OMEGA 3

    Flaxseed Oil contains 73% polyunsaturated fatty acids, 18% monounsaturated fatty acids making it an oil full of healthy fats! The most abundant being ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) the heart protective fatty acid also known as Omega 3.
    Once inside your body, ALA is converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docohexaenoic acid (DHA) which then form a series of compounds that help to reduce inflammation, clean up of unnecessary blood clots, dilates blood vessels to aid blood flow and correct blood pressure, plus they also help with blood vessel fluidity. All of these help support your heart and cardiovascular system to be their healthiest.

  • ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

    Arthritis is a painful joint condition that presents as joint swelling, pain and immobility resulting in a massive influence on the quality of life of people suffering with it. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is an inflammatory marker that. at high levels. contributes to the inflammation that causes arthritis. IL-6 is found in abundance in the serum and synovial fluids of inflammed joints. Studies have shown that the omega 3s in flaxseed oil can reduce IL-6 and therefore the pain and swelling associated with arthritis. Flaxseed Oil omega 3s have also been shown to reduce C-Reactive Protein - another inflammatory marker associated with a wide range of inflammatory diseases.

  • SKIN CONDITIONS

    The skin often shows outwardly what is going on internally so if there's internal inflammation there's usually also skin issues presenting too. Inflammation is the key driver in problematic skin such as psoriasis, eczema, rash or dermatitis. Taking flaxseed oil over a period of a few weeks has been shown to reduce internal inflammation while having the beneficial effect of a reduction in skin conditions also. Flaxseed oil can also be applied directly to the skin to soothe dry, flakey and itchy skin with immediate relief. Adults all the way down to babies can benefit from this. And, even if you don't have skin complaints, flaxseed oil can also improve skin smoothness and hydration.

Packaging

Natural products like ours need greater protection against rancidity than more chemically derived synthetic products. And, because maintaining optimal health is at the forefront of everyone's minds we need to consume products that are the most natural version of themselves. This is why we extract our oils in a dark room that blocks damaging ultraviolet light and also pack them in dark glass recyclable bottles or containers. This ensures greater preservation of the quality of the nutrients in the oil and helps extend shelf life without the need for chemicals.

REMEDY FOR DRY EYE

I'd suffered with dry eye for so long - burning and irritated eye lids and unable to wear makeup for months on end. I'd done some research on the positive effects of omega 3 for dry eye and tried fish oil with little to no result. I then moved to flaxseed oil taking it morning and night. I've tried multiple brands and it became evident that the strength of the flaxseed makes a difference. There are some supermarket brands that are noticeably lighter in colour and taste and these don't work for me. If I take a good quality omega 3 every day I don't have any dry eye symptoms. I've been purchasing OmegaNZ now for the last three months and it is up there with the best results I've had to date. I'm so grateful and love that it's readily available in my local stockiest and is a fair price.
