NOW Foods Flax Oil, 100 Softgels (1,000 mg per Softgel)
UPC: 733739017703
NOW Foods Flax Oil softgels are designed to provide essential omega-3 fatty acids, with the manufacturer noting they are formulated to support cardiovascular health and promote healthy skin. Each softgel contains 1,000 mg of cold-pressed, unrefined flax seed oil, which is a natural source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid the body cannot produce on its own.
This product uses a specially pressed flax seed oil intended to preserve the oil's natural state, and it is encapsulated in softgels to protect against oxidation. The manufacturer provides a breakdown of the naturally occurring fatty acid profile: approximately 55% linolenic acid (omega-3), 14% linoleic acid (omega-6), 19% oleic acid (omega-9), and 12% saturated fats. It is available in a 100-count bottle, with a suggested usage of three softgels one to two times daily with food, and also comes in a 250-count size. Notable certifications include Non-GMO and Kosher (Triangle K, containing gelatin), and it is made and quality tested in the USA with globally sourced ingredients.
