New Roots Herbal’s organic flax seed oil offers a source of essential fatty acids with a vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids. Our flax oil is extracted by expeller pressing at temperatures less than 38 °C without the use of solvents, such as hexane. The oil is protected during the extraction process from the damaging effects of heat, light, and oxygen. Nearly every system in the body can benefit from flaxseed oil, which contains high quantities of omega-3s. Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are known to play important roles in the formation of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are cellular regulators, which control the inflammatory process in the body. New Roots Herbal’s Flaxseed Oil softgels are a convenient way to increase omega-3 and essential fatty acid intake.
