Description
Lamberts Flaxseed Oil 1000mg 90 Capsules is a food supplement providing 1000mg of cold-pressed flaxseed oil per capsule, giving 680mg of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega 3 fatty acid. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, so it gives people who avoid fish oil a source of omega 3.
Key Features
- 680mg of ALA per capsule: the flaxseed oil is 68% ALA by weight, alongside 122mg of linoleic acid (LA).
- Suitable for vegetarians and vegans: the capsule shell is made with modified starch and carrageenan rather than gelatin, and the product contains no fish.
- Cold-pressed oil: the flaxseed oil is cold-pressed without hexanes or solvents, and vitamin E is added to protect the ALA from oxidation.
- Flexible intake: 1 to 3 capsules daily, and 3 capsules provide 2040mg of ALA.
- Suitable for all adults, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding: the manufacturer states this directly.
