Updated: 1/28/99 |
Flax has a long history of use, but recently, scientists have been discovering the value of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids of the constituents of the oil made from its seed.
Flax seed oil is about 55% Omega-3 fatty acid and 20% Omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-3 is important in preventing heart disease because it thins the blood and lowers cholesterol. It also aids the production of Prostaglandins which regulate many functions of every body cell including nutrient intake, division, pain sensations and blood clotting. This ability may help regulate arthritis. Omega-6 fatty acid tones the arteries.
