Description
Lindens Health + Nutrition Flaxseed Oil 1000mg 90 Capsules are a food supplement providing flaxseed oil, a plant source of the omega 3 fatty acid alpha linolenic acid (ALA), in softgel capsules. You can adjust the amount you take from 1 to 5 capsules a day, and the label states that 5 capsules provide enough ALA for the authorised cholesterol claim.
Key Features
- Alpha linolenic acid (ALA): 5 capsules provide 5000mg of flaxseed oil, yielding 2500mg of ALA (omega 3), plus linoleic acid (omega 6) and oleic acid (omega 9).
- Normal blood cholesterol levels: ALA contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 2g of ALA.
- Flexible daily amount: Take 1 to 5 capsules a day, depending on your requirements.
- Contains bovine gelatine: The softgel capsule shell is made with bovine gelatine, so these capsules are not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.
