Fatigue

This cold milled flaxseed is rich in both essential fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (Omega 3 group) and linoleic acid (Omega 6 group). It is also rich in oleic acid (Omega 9). Documented use of flaxseed dates back to 5,000BC and the Romans and Charlemagne marched their armies on it!

It is crunchy and has a light nutty flavour as cold milling chops the seed without heating the mill blades, so the essential fatty acids remain intact. The flax is not crushed, so the precious oil is retained. Vacuum-packed in a lined, resealable foil bag to retain freshness.

Flax seeds offer both lignans and essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's are essential for maintaining good health by acting as building blocks in cell membranes and aiding in the production of hormone-like substances that are necessary for energy metabolism.

Flax seed also contains high concentrations of lignans, making it the richest available source. Plant lignans are converted in the colon by bacterial fermentation into a form of lignans that can be used by humans. Lignans are structurally similar to estrogens and work within the body to balance estrogen levels.

The Omega 3 oil content has to be at least 57% and this is ensured by these flaxseeds being grown in Canada north of the 53rd parallel (further north continues into the north polar regions) as the cold climate determines the levels of Omega 3 in the flaxseed. It is the coldness during the flowering i.e. the last 10-25 days that raises the levels of Omega 3 and decreases the Omega 6 content. The same plant grown in a warmer hemisphere will have a high Omega 6 content and little or even no Omega 3!

Take two tablespoons daily or as desired. the benefits of daily consumption of Cold Milled Flax include: essential EFAs for maintaining good health by acting as building blocks in cell membranes; helps to regulate bowel movements; helps balance blood sugar and cholesterol levels; promotes anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal effects in the body; enhances the immune system; hormone-balancing effects on the body and aids in the production of hormone-like substances that are necessary for energy metabolism.
