Now Foods Organic Flax Seed Oil 12 oz

Flax oil and flax seeds are being rediscovered as true health benefit. Flax oil definitely merit being included on any top-ten list of oils that are good for you. Flax is not a new food. It is actually one of the older and, perhaps, one of the original health oils, treasured because of its healing properties throughout the Roman empire.

Flax could be dubbed the forgotten oil. It had fallen out of favor because oil manufacturers have found nutritious oils to be less profitable. The very nutrients that give flax its nutritional benefits essential fatty acids also give it a short shelf life, making it more expensive to produce, transport, and store. Yet, those who are nutritionally in the know continue to rank flax high on the list. Because of the flurry of scientific studies validating the health benefits of omega 3 fatty acids, flax oil has graduated from the refrigerator of health nuts to a status of scientific respectability.
