"Fish Oil" for vegetarians.
Lamberts Flax Seed Oil capsules are a great way to get the omega-3 benefits of
fish oil, but without actually consuming fish or animal products. The capsules are gelatin-free.
Flax seed oil (also known as linseed oil) contains high levels of alpha-linolenic acid, which is an essential fatty acid. EPA and DHA, which are the beneficial ingredients in fish oil, can be synthesized within the body from alpha-linolenic acid. It is the EPA and DHA that, in turn, have the cholesterol-lowering characteristics associated with fish oil.
Flax seed oil also contains linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid.
Lamberts flax-seed oil is cold-pressed to ensure that nutrients are not lost through overheating or other destructive processing.
