Cytoplan liquid flax seed oils are organic and cold pressed. We believe, is the best flax oil product available for sale anywhere. Sold in 200ml & 500ml bottles it is the most wonderful, smooth, nutty-tasting, mineral-rich oil available.
It has organic status, which means that it is:
• Free from pesticides
• Free from herbicides
It is genuinely cold-pressed, which means that it is unprocessed and that the fatty acid content will remain unharmed in the extraction. (Heat damages the delicate essential fatty acids.) People use flax seed oil for its omega 3 content. Omega 3 oils are easily damaged by processing. They also degenerate quickly in the presence of oxygen, hence our bottles being flushed out with nitrogen to enhance the stability of the oil.
The omega 3 content of organic flax seed oil is likely to be more active than in non-organic linseed oil.
Flax seed oil is the richest known source of the unsaturated alpha-linolenic acid, necessary for physical health but lacking in the foods most people regularly eat. Flax seed oil contains about 45-65% LNA. The remainder of the oil is monounsaturated oleic acid and about 10% saturated fatty acids.
Fresh, unrefined flax oil contains lecithin and other phospholipids that help emulsify fats and oils for easier digestion and can contribute to physical health.
Flax seed oil also contains beta carotene and vitamin E. These vitamins are necessary to stabilise the oil in both the bottle and the body. When oil is refined, vitamins and lecithin are removed, and its stability and many health-giving components are lost.
