Essential Fatty Acids play an important role in human health and naturally occur in flaxseed oil, an edible oil derived from the seeds of the flax plant. NutraBio's Flaxseed Oil Soft gels are produced from oils that have been carefully extracted without the use of hexane or added heat. This cold extraction process helps to preserve the delicate chemical structure of Omega-3 (alpha-linolenic acid), Omega-6 (linoleic acid), and Omega-9 (oleic acid) fatty acids that are so naturally rich in Flax seeds.
