Flaxseed oil composition and benefits

It is popularly believed that flaxseed oil is healthful, easily digestible and versatile tool in the fight against almost all diseases. Consumption of edible flaxseed oil has no side effects.

As for the content of unsaturated fatty acids it beats twice as much fish oil: alpha-linoleic acid (OMEGA-3) – 60%, linoleic acid (an omega-6) – 20% oleic acid (OMEGA-9) – 10%, other unsaturated fatty acid – 10%. If OMEGA-6 is found in other vegetable oils, OMEGA-3 in sufficient quantity is only found in fish oil, and above all in flax seed oil. It is especially important for the women.

Let us consider the useful composition of flaxseed oil in greater detail, as its value to the human body is due to its rich composition.

• Fat: OMEGA-3 (up to 60%), OMEGA-6 (about 20%), OMEGA-9 (about 10%), saturated fatty acids (stearic acid, myristic acid and palmitic acid);
• Vitamins: A, B1, B2, B3 (PP), B4, B6, B9, E (choline), K, F;
• Macro- and microelements: potassium, phosphorous, magnesium, iron, zinc;
• And in addition to above: linamarin, phytosterols, squalene (up to 8%), thioproline, lecithin, beta-carotene.

Despite the considerable list of components that compose natural flaxseed oil, yet special value is a complex of poly- and monounsaturated fatty acids. Alpha-linoleic acid (OMEGA-3) is indispensable and urgently needed by our body. Unfortunately, it is either absent or present in very small quantities in most food products. Fish oil is famous for high content of this fatty acid. Now, the content of unsaturated fatty acids in flax seed oil is twice as high as in fish oil!

Flaxseed oil is the undisputed leader among vegetable oils. It is used:

• in diabetes (frequent use of a small amount of linseed oil, containing acid of OMEGA-3, improves insulin action and protects the body from emergence and development of diabetes. Furthermore, it not only improves the perception of insulin, but also decreases blood cholesterol);
• for prevention and treatment of secondary cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, stroke), reduction of the probability for formation of the blood clots;
• to improve the liver mechanisms;
• in gastritis, colitis, constipation;
• for prevention of the thyroid gland diseases;
• for prevention and auxiliary treatment of oncological diseases;

• to have rejuvenating and healing effect on burns, freeze burns, radiation injuries of the skin;
• sometimes flaxseed oil consumption for a few days significantly improves asthma clinical data;
• as a general tonic for adults and children.

According to the content of OMEGA-3 and OMEGA-6, flaxseed oil is superior to other conventional products of the human diet and just 1 or 2 tablespoons of flaxseed oil provides daily requirement of unsaturated fatty acids.
