Alpha-linolenic acid is an omega-3 fatty acid, which offers you health and heart fitness.

I’m currently taking a prescription medication. Can I still take flax products?
|
|
|
If you are taking any medications, the Flax Council does not suggest or recommend that you eat flax or flax products without the specific approval of your physician. This is in keeping with the advice of experts who advise patients to consult their physicians before making any changes to their diet.

I have come across one a seed called solin seed, it looks just like flax seed. Does it provide same health benefits?
|
|
|
There is another yellow seed that looks like flax, but is not flax. Solin seeds do not provide the same nutritional benefit as flax seeds. Solin seeds contain less than one-tenth of the alpha-linolenic acid found in flax seeds. Hence, the important omega-3 advantage of flax is missing in solin.
|
|
|
|
|
How should I store flax seed and what is the shelf life?
|

|
Flax seed has a hard hull, which keeps it fresh. You can store clean, dry, good quality whole flax seed at room temperature for up to a year.

|

|
How much omega fatty acids do flax seeds contain?
|
|
|
Of the 38-42% total naturally occurring fat in Flax seed, an average of 18% is Omega 3 in the form of Alpha Linolenic acid. Contrary to what is found in most seeds, Alpha Linolenic acid is the predominant unsaturated fatty acid found in Flax seed. Linoleic acid, which belongs to the Omega 6 family, is the predominant unsaturated fatty acid in most other seeds like safflower, sunflower, corn and sesame.
