General Information
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are essential and cannot be synthesised by the human body in adequate amounts, thus supplementation on a daily basis is necessary. They are also necessary for the normal functioning of the body's metabolic, growth and renewal processes. Current thinking is that modern food production methods and cooking create more trans fatty acids than the body can adequately cope with, causing imbalances in the system and consequently many of today's medical problems. Flax (or Linseed) is the most concentrated plant source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Each 1000mg capsule contains 57% Omega-3, 16% Omega-6, 18% Omega-9 and 9% Saturated Fatty Acids. Flax is also a source of Vitamin E, Beta-carotene and valuable plant lignins. NB. Flax seed is also rich in the B Vitamins, protein, zinc & magnesium. House of Health's "ALL OMEGA" is made from cold-pressed, organically grown Linseeds and is completely unrefined. This ensures that the plant lignin (soluble fibre) is not filtered out. The Flax lignin is a glucoside which produces Enterolactone and Enterodiol in people. Enterolactone is, quantitatively, the most important human lignin. These lignins have a structure resembling synthetic oestrogen, but have anti-oestrogenic properties,a dietary action associated with the protection against colon and breast cancer. Lignins have anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties. Plant lignins are the dietary precursors to several kinds of human lignins formed in the intestinal tract by bacteria from fibre-rich food. In the presence of beneficial flora in the human intestine lignins form very potent anti-cancer substances, particularly against the hormone-driven cancers such as breast, colon, prostate, uterine and ovarian. Organic Flax is by far the richest source of valuable plant lignin having 100 times more than wheat and other grains. Flaxseed oil is known to: lower blood fat levels often associated with heart attacks & strokes reduce harmful blood cholesterol levels with its soluble fibre prevent colon and breast cancer through its rich sources of lignin, a documented anti-cancer agent improve moods, diminish allergies and produce a healthier skin normalise the functioning of the body's metabolic, growth and renewal process Dr Johanna Budwig, a German Nobel Prize nominee argues that many contemporary diseases are substantially diseases of fatty degeneration and Essential Fatty Acid deficiencies. ( ref: flaxseed oil and the power of Omega-3, by M. Johnston & J.R. Johnston.) The Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils are two Essential Fatty Acids that together: form the membranes of every one of the billions of cells in our bodies control the way that cholesterol works in our systems make up a large part of the brain's active tissues are the only fats that become prostaglandins, hormone-like substances, which play key roles in regulating the cardiovascular, immune, digestive & reproductive functions, inflammation & healing, functioning of the brain, and body heat and calorie burning.
