Cold-pressed flax (alsi) oil delivers ALA omega-3 — the plant-based equivalent of fish oil. Also rich in lignans for hormone balance. Dual-use: edible for wellness, topical for dry skin.
Highest ALA content of any plant oil. Vegan alternative to fish oil for skin and wellness.
Topical application rebuilds the skin's lipid barrier in chronically dry skin.
Phytoestrogenic compounds support hormonal balance — useful for menopause support.
Reduces systemic inflammation when ingested daily (1 tsp).
Flax oil's high omega-3 content oxidizes within weeks at room temperature. Fridge extends to 6 months.
No — heat destroys omega-3. Always add to cool foods.
Made from alsi seeds, yes. Whole seeds need grinding to access oil; this is pre-extracted, ready-to-use.
Discard. Properly stored flax oil smells nutty and slightly grassy. Rancid = oxidized = stop using.
