Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Nature Made Flaxseed Oil is recommended for heart health. Flaxseed oil is one of the best sources of the essential fatty acid alpha linoleic, or Omega-3. Essential fats are incorporated into and contribute to the integrity and fluidity of cell membranes; a cell’s life and function depends largely on its membrane integrity. Without a healthy membrane, cells lose their ability to hold water, vital nutrients, and electrolytes, and no longer function properly. Maintaining the integrity of cell membranes can lead to better health and well-being.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flaxseed Oil from Nature Made, September 5, 2005

Flax is a plant. The seeds in the flax plant are filled with flaxseed oil, (sometimes called linseed oil). The seeds contain fatty oils called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid. ALA is the omega-3 oil in flaxseed. Flaxseed contains both omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids. Flaxseed is nature's richest storehouse of omega-3 fatty acids, and contains more than twice as much omega-3 oil as fish oils, and it costs less , ounce for ounce. Flax also contains other important substances like lignans, which may protect against some types of cancer. The husks of the seeds are rich in mucilage. Both the seed oil and mucilage have many nutritional and therapeutic properties.

There are many potential benefits from taking Flax seed oil:

Flaxseed Oil lowers cholesterol levels, thereby improving cardiovascular health and lessening the risk of arteriosclerosis.

Flaxseed also contains plant nutrients like phytoestrogens. These are natural estrogen-like substances that can lessen the discomfort of menopause.

Flaxseed oil may lower high blood pressure.

Flaxseed oil helps some people improve their psoriasis and eczema, as it has anti-inflammatory properties. Flaxseed may also reduce the itching, swelling, and redness associated with certain skin disorders such as acne.

Flaxseed oil has a positive effect on rheumatoid arthritis due to its ability to calm inflammation.

Flaxseed reduces LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol (the body's "bad cholesterol") and lowers triglyceride levels. Research shows that flaxseed oil gives much better protection against heart attacks than canola oil or olive oil.

Taking flaxseed may reduce cancer risk. This is because flaxseed contains the richest sources of lignan building blocks, which play a major role in preventing cardiovascular diseases and cancer. New research indicates that the lignans in flaxseed have both short-term and long-term protective effects against colon cancer.

Nature Made Flaxseed Oil is a quality source of flaxseed oil, as the company is well-known and reputable. One tip: keep your flaxseed oil away from light and heat, as both degrade the oil.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to cure everything is Flax Seed Oil, April 5, 2006

This review is from: Nature Made Flaxseed Oil 1000mg, 100 Softgels (Health and Beauty)

I am vouching for this product for many reasons and can laud it to the ends of the earth with passion. First, because I have seen the miracles it works internally as well as externally. And second because whomever I turn on to it for certain skin problems I hear of the beneficial results within days. Flax seed was used for centuries in New Zealand by the Maori people and is the only product I know to thicken your hair again if it is falling. In fact it seems to actually stop it. It cures and soothes the worst cases of dry scaly skin, whether it is weeping or not. I have used it topically to CURE cracked heels and the worst horrific flaking skin where I saw beautiful miracles with the elderly. I have had very sensitive skin all of my life. Since taking flax seed I never need to use mass amounts of lotion to keep it hydrated or healthy anymore. And my energy has also improved.

One of my brothers takes this too. He was telling me with Fish oil or too much one smells like a tuna sandwich all the time. I take a lot in the day. One of the medicines (Prednisone) I take gives you cholesterol. Want to have good cholesterol too even though I finally have a medicine that lowers cholesterol.

Also take these as well for good cholesterol:
Fish, Flax, and Borage 1200mg, Softgels, I heard that Borage helps the body absorb better like "D'" to calcium.
I take 2200 mg a day my bros. take more
Niacin too!
