Flora High Lignan Flax Oil - Organic Omega-3, 6, 9 with Lignans - Cold-Pressed, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free - 250 ml

Why Choose Flora High Lignan Flax Oil?

Flora High Lignan Flax Oil stands out as a premium, unrefined oil made from organic flax seeds. Cold-pressed at low temperatures to preserve its natural goodness, this oil retains a high concentration of lignans—antioxidant-rich plant compounds. Unlike many flax oils on the market, this one is produced without heat or chemical processing, ensuring the delicate fatty acids and beneficial nutrients remain intact. Packaged in a dark glass bottle to protect against light, it is best stored in the fridge after opening.

What Is High Lignan Flax Oil?

This food supplement combines essential fatty acids (omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9) with naturally occurring lignans derived from organic flax seeds. The lignans, such as secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), act as antioxidants that contribute to overall wellbeing.* Each serving provides a concentrated blend of nutrients without artificial additives, making it a convenient addition to a balanced diet.

Key Benefits of Flax Oil with Lignans

Flax oil is one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid. EFSA has approved the claim that ALA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels and normal blood pressure. The omega-6 (linoleic acid) in this oil contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, while omega-9 (oleic acid) is a monounsaturated fat that supports heart health when used as part of a healthy diet. The lignans provide antioxidant support that may aid digestive health.*

How to Use Flax Oil in Your Daily Routine

Since flax oil is heat-sensitive, it should not be cooked. Instead, enjoy it cold: drizzle over salads, blend into smoothies, stir into yoghurt or porridge, or add to dips and dressings. Start with one tablespoon (15 ml) per day and adjust as desired. Always refrigerate after opening and use within the recommended timeframe to maintain freshness.

Who Can Benefit from This Supplement?

This oil is ideal for anyone seeking a plant-based source of omega-3s and antioxidants, particularly vegetarians and vegans. The lignans also offer support for digestive regularity and hormone balance, making it a valuable addition for women’s health.* As with any food supplement, consult a health care professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flax Oil

Should I keep this oil in the fridge?

Yes, flax oil is perishable and should be stored in the refrigerator at all times to preserve its freshness and prevent oxidation. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for long periods.

What is the difference between regular flax oil and high-lignan flax oil?

High-lignan flax oil is processed to retain more natural lignans, offering greater antioxidant benefits compared to standard flax oil, which may have lignans removed during refining.

Can I use this oil for cooking?

No, heating flax oil can damage its delicate fatty acids and form harmful compounds. Use it only in cold preparations or consume directly.
