Melrose Organic Flaxseed Oil is cold-pressed from organically grown, Australian flaxseeds. Flaxseed oil has one of the highest concentrations of plant-based omega-3 alpha linoleic acid (ALA) and is an excellent vegan alternative to fish oil. ALA is converted to EPA and DHA in the body, which are essential fatty acids required fro optimum health.

Omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA are important for optimal health, yet they can be difficult to come by for those who don't eat fish and don't want to take a fish oil supplement.

Many plant foods contain omega-3 fatty acid ALA, which converts within the body to EPA and DHA, yet conversion can be low, so you need much more ALA to produce the same amount of EPA and DHA you may get from fish or supplements.

Flaxseeds are one of the highest plant-based sourced of omega-3, further concentrated by extracting the oil. Melrose Organic Flaxseed Oil is an excellent option for those avoiding fish to take in adequate omega-3 fat daily.
