Benefits
Vegetarian flaxseed oil is a rich source of Omega-3 alpha-Linoleic acid. The body converts this into DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). DHA is needed because it plays a structural role in the cells of the central nervous system. EPA is required because it is essential for optimal brain function and cell signalling EPA and DHA are classed as essential fatty acids because they cannot be made by the body efficiently and therefore must be obtained through the diet. More and more published research is highlighting the importance of these essential fatty acids.
