Linseed (flaxseed) oil Capsules
Our pure freshly pressed linseed oil can help balance cholesterol. A recent EU directive stated that 2mg of ALA per day, the plant based Omega 3 found in linseed oil, helps to lower cholesterol levels. (Source: 2009, 7 (9): 1252, EFSA - Europa). The balancing effect is noticed at the 2mg level (this is about a teaspoonful or 5 Pods). If you would like to receive our free Eat Your Way to Lower Cholesterol factsheet written by nutritional therapist Karen Newby, then email us at info@thelinseedfarm.co.uk.
