Clinical Nutrients^™ Flax Oil (70060)

flax seed oil†

Provides essential fatty acids with antioxidant and immune support.†

Why use flax oil?

It provides an excellent vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Not all fat is bad! Essential fatty acids are important to skin health, immune function, and many other body functions.†

Why use Clinical Nutrients^™ Flax Oil?

It combines excellent sources of essential fatty acids.†

Clinical Nutrients^™ Flax Oil combines organic flax seed oil - an important source of omega-3 fatty acids - with organic pumpkin and borage seed oils. Pumpkin seed oil is valued for its plant sterols; borage seed oil is a source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).

Its advantages as a supplement are many:

Alpha-linolenic acid, the omega-3 essential fatty acid often lacking in the American diet.
More GLA per tablespoon (325 mg) than five 500 mg capsules of evening primrose oil (250 mg of GLA).
Twice the omega-3 fatty acid level as most fish oil products.
Phytosterols, known for their ability to support prostate health in men, bladder health in women, and healthy cholesterol levels already within normal limits overall.†
Stabilized with an exclusive rosemary antioxidant.
A smooth nutty taste - great on salads, or drizzled over toast!

Directions:

Shake well before using. Take 1 tablespoon once or twice daily.

The oil may be taken alone, mixed with food, or used as a salad dressing. Do not use for cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is canola oil used in this product?

Canola oil is used in some of our products, such as Eskimo Kids, because it is one of the healthiest oils available. Canola oil is very low in saturated fats and high in monounsaturated fats.

There is a lot of incorrect information about canola oil on the Internet, including some truly scary e-mails floating around. Canola oil is not poisonous. Canola oil comes from a variety of the rape plant, a member of the mustard family (as are turnips and cabbage). Rapeseed oil (from the rape plant) contains a high amount of erucic acid (30 – 60%), which some laboratory studies have found harmful to the heart. The plants that make canola oil have been hybridized to decrease the amount of this component to less than 1% of erucic acid, making it safe to use in cooking. The name of rapeseed oil was changed to canola oil (which stands for “Canada low acid”) to separate it from regular rapeseed oil, and obviously to distance the product from the unfortunate plant name.

Part of the myth of canola oil is based on misconceptions. The rumors say canola oil is used as an industrial lubricant and insecticide. Many oils are used for exactly this purpose, and singling out canola oil is misleading. There are also claims that canola comes from the same plant used in mustard gas. Mustard gas is not made from a mustard plant, but is called mustard gas because of its smell when it was used in World War I.

What is the EPA and DHA content in Clinical Nutrients^™ Flax Oil?

Clinical Nutrients^™ Flax Oil contains the eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) precursor, linolenic acid (LNA). LNA, an omega 3 essential fatty acid, is converted to EPA and DHA in the body. The manufacturer has confirmed that approximately 6 percent of LNA is converted to EPA and 4 percent is converted to DHA. Thus, one serving (one tablespoon or 14 softgels) of Clinical Nutrients^™ Flax Oil, which contains 5,250 mg of LNA, provides approximately 315 mg EPA and 210 mg DHA. Keep in mind that these amounts are approximations, actual amounts can be highly variable across the population.
