Essential fatty acids are just that - essential for growth and development throughout the human lifecycle. They must be included in the diet of pregnant women, premature infants, full-term infants, children, young adults and elderly adults.

Humans cannot manufacture Essential Fatty Acids. A healthy human body uses Omega 3 or Alpha Linolenic Acid (derived from Flaxseed Oil, Salmon, Sardines, and Canola Oil) and Omega 6 Linoleic Acid (derived from Evening Primrose, Sunflower, Safflower Oil) to produce prostaglandins, tiny chemicals responsible for regulating actions in the body such as the widening and narrowing of arteries, the onset of inflammation, clotting of blood, and combatting fever and pain.

Flax Seed Oil is a rich source of valuable Omega 3, providing 60% Alpha Linolenic Acid (Omega 3), 20% Linoleic Acid (Omega 6) and 20% Oleic Acid (Omega 9). Flax was traditionally grown for its fibre, which was woven into linen cloth. Its seeds were used for linseed oil.

The extraction of Flax Seed Oil:
Thompson’s Flax Seed Oil is extracted by ‘cold-pressing’ - the mechanical extraction of the oil from the seed, at a temperature less than 50 degrees Celsius, before undergoing filtration. No chemicals are added. After filtration the oil is nitrogen blanketed and stored at low temperatures to avoid oxidation. The oil is encapsulated in Non-gelatin capsules providing a well-sealed environment which prevents oxidation and maintains freshness of the oil – this results in a high quality product which is rich in Essential Fatty acids.

EACH GELATIN-FREE CAPSULE CONTAINS:
Flax Seed Oil 1g (1000mg)
equivalent to:
Linolenic Acid (Omega 3) 575 mg
Linoleic Acid (Omega 6) 175 mg
Oleic Acid (Omega 9) 175 mg

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Adults - One capsules three times a day (with food), or as professionally prescribed.

DOSAGE:
To correct an Omega 3 deficiency, take 3-6 Flax Seed Oil capsules daily for approximately 3 months. After this time switch to Omega Combination - 2 capsules daily to maintain levels of Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids. Not suitable for children under 12 years, unless professionally prescribed.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:
Flax Seed Oil is beneficial in preventing constipation, aiding the digestion of dietary fats and maintaining general wellbeing. It also promotes healthy skin, hair and nails. Assists in reducing fatty plaque build up on the arteries of the heart. Promotes the production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and may assist dry skin. Flax Seed Oil also helps to support immune function.

LOW ALLERGY FORMULATION:
No added sugar, starch, milk, wheat, salt, corn, yeast, gluten, artificial colouring, flavouring or preservatives. Vegetarian (non-gelatin capsules).


Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your doctor/healthcare professional
