What the brand says

Flax Seed Oil Flax is proven to protect against tumor growth. Great source of Omega 3 fatty acids and naturally provides a 1:4 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids. Flax Seed Oil Benefits: - Supports Cardiovascular and Immune System functions.* -Supports Prostaglandin Balance.* Provides Essential Fatty Acids: Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated fats that the body cannot manufacture and must be obtained from foods. Omega 3 EFAs are produced from Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA). The Omega 3 fatty acids are especially important for the heart, brain and cell membranes.* Omega 6 EFAs are made from Linoleic Acid (LA). The body uses Omega 6 fatty acids to produce the PGE1 series of prostaglandins, which support immune system function and skin health.* Omega 9 or Oleic Acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid not considered essential because the body can produce it. Omega 9 fatty acids may help support cardiovascular function.* Flax Seed Oil Naturally Provides a 1:4 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3: Research indicates the American diet has a ratio of 20:1 in favor of the Omega 6 fatty acids. Ideally this ratio should be 4:1 (Omega 6/Omega 3). The ratio of the Omega 6 to Omega 3 fatty acids in Flax Seed Oil is 1:4 (150 mg of LA to 585 mg ALA). Most diets supply much higher amounts of Omega 6 as compared to Omega 3 causing an imbalance of the Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio.
