Barlean’s 100% Organic Highest Lignan Liquid Flax Oil contains unrefined, unfiltered organic flaxseed oil. Organic flaxseed oil is rich in the omega-3 fatty acid ALA and also contains modest amounts of omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, the ratio of omega 3’s to 6’s and 9’s being approximately 3:1:1. Organic flaxseed oil is praised for being particularly high in secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) content. SDGs are powerful lignan antioxidants that have been shown to reduce atherosclerosis and reduce serum LDL cholesterol levels in humans.

In an age where omega-6’s constitute the average majority of omega fatty acids consumed, a high quality organic flaxseed oil supplement like the one offered by Barlean’s can make for a powerful boost to anyone’s diet. Flaxseed oil can be used as a healthy replacement for salad dressings, as a topping on whole food meals or even taken straight by itself. If you’re interested in supplementing with flaxseed oil, be sure and choose a high quality option like Barlean’s 100% Organic Highest Lignan Liquid Flax Oil.X
