FLAX SEED OIL - 500 ML

Oilcure Flax seed oil is beneficial in helping to reduce high cholesterol. The risk of heart disease is lower in individuals who take flax seed oil. Several studies have found that this oil seems to be able to calm the inner lining of the inflamed intestines. Another benefit exists as there is a high content of mucilage in flax and this is an effective natural laxative.

Flaxseed oil comes from the seeds of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum, L.). Flaxseed oil contains both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are needed for health. Flaxseed oil contains the essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which the body converts into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. 

Flaxseed oil contains 50 percent to 60 percent of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). With even more anti-inflammatory and disease-preventing ALA than fish oil, many people opt for flaxseed oil benefits over fish oil benefits, especially people who don’t eat meat and people concerned about the possible mercury lurking in some fish oils.

Flax Seed Contains these essential Vitamins and Minerals :

1. Vitamin B 1

2. Omega 3 Fatty Acid

3. Copper

4. Manganese

5. Magnesium

6. Phosphorus

7. Selenium

Health Benefits of Oilcure Flax Seed/ Oil :

Reduce Heart Disease Risk: The primary omega-3 fatty acid in flax oil —alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA—can be helpful to the cardiovascular system in and of itself. As the building block for other messaging molecules that help prevent excessive inflammation, ALA can help protect the blood vessels from inflammatory damage. Numerous studies have shown the ability of dietary flaxseeds to increase our blood levels of ALA, even when those flaxseeds have been ground and incorporated into baked goods like bread or muffins. When flaxseeds are consumed, two other omega-3 fatty acids have also been shown to increase in the bloodstream, namely, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA). Increases in EPA and DPA also help provide inflammatory protection.

Reduce the risk of breast cancer: Studies suggest that flaxseed oil may help prevent the growth of breast tumors. In one Canadian Study, researchers discovered that flaxseed oil prevented breast tumor growth, likely through ALA content. People with breast cancer should not take any nutritional supplement without their doctor's approval.

Healthy Skin and Hair: If you want healthier skin, hair and nails then consider adding 2 tbsp of flax seeds to your smoothie or 1 tbsp of flax seed oil to your daily routine.

The ALA fats in flax seeds benefit the skin and hair by providing essential fats as well as b-vitamins which can help reduce dryness and flakiness. It can also improve symptoms of acne, rosacea, and eczema. This also applies to eye health as flax can reduce dry eye syndrome. Flax seed oil is another great option since it has an even higher concentration of healthy fats. You can take 1-2 tbsp internally to hydrate skin and hair.  It can also be mixed with essential oils and used as a natural skin moisturizer.

Weight Loss: A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that flaxseeds and walnuts may improve obesity and support weight loss. Since flax is full of healthy fats and fiber, it will help you feel satisfied longer so you will eat fewer calories overall which may lead to weight loss. ALA fats may also help reduce inflammation.

This is important for weight loss in that an inflamed body will tend to hold on to excess weight. Add a couple of teaspoons of ground flaxseed to soups, salads, or smoothies as part of your weight loss plan.

Reduce menopause symptoms: Like soy, flaxseed and flax oil contain plant-based chemicals that act like estrogen and may help reduce symptoms of menopause. Studies found that women who took phytoestrogens from both soy and flaxseed reduced hot flashes and vaginal dryness.

Constipation: Studies show that daily use of flaxseed and flaxseed oil are as effective as mineral oil in treating constipation.

Flaxseeds are Gluten-Free: Using flax is a great way to naturally replace gluten-containing grains which are inflammatory where flax is anti-inflammatory.  So, flax seeds are great for those who have Celiac disease or have Gluten Sensitivity. They may also be a good alternative to omega-3 fats in fish for people with a seafood allergy.

Dosage: Adults can consume 2-3 ml ( 40-50 drops ) of Flax seed oil with or without water. Children 10-15 drops.

Caution: Large doses of 10 ml per day and higher can cause loose stools and diarrhea. Allergic reactions have occurred while taking flaxseed oil. Flaxseed oil is possibly unsafe when taken by mouth during pregnancy.
