Blackmores Flaxseed Oil 1000mg is a source of beneficial omega-3,omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, in particular it is a rich source of omega-3 containing 60% alpha-linolenic acid. In Western diets today, the ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 is significantly lower than recommended.

A good balance of these healthy nutrients may: - help to reduce inflammation
- contribute to a healthy heart and cardiovascular system
- be important for healthy skin and hair
A deficiency in essential fatty acids such as omega-3 can lead to dryness, scaliness and redness of the skin. Blackmores’ Flaxseed Oil 1000mg is: - Pure & organic (utilising organic flax)

Flaxseed is a vegetable source of omega-3 essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the parent fatty acid of all omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The essential fatty acids in flaxseed oil are part of the basic building block of cell membranes and a good source of energy. Flaxseed oil may contribute to the reduction of inflammation by providing a building block of anti-inflammatory biochemicals and by decreasing the inflammatory effects of excess omega-6 fatty acid linolenic acid (AL) so abundant in vegetable oils. ALA may also reduce platelet aggregation. All important for maintaining good heart health. Contains:
