Flax Seed Oil

An excellent plant based source of Omega 3 from Brown Linseed

What is Brown Flax Seed Oil

Bio Oils’ Flax Seed Oil is cold-pressed from either certified organic or conventional linseed (Linum usitatissimum) grown in the rich, fertile soils of the Central South Island of New Zealand, in the shadow of the beautiful Southern Alps. This region produces some of the world’s finest quality linseed, resulting in a premium quality Flax Seed oil. Our Flax Seed Oil is cold-pressed, extra virgin, rich in Omega 3 ALA and GMO free.

Health Benefits

Flax Seed Oil is one of nature’s richest plant sources of Omega 3 (ALA)1 and highly recognised for its therapeutic and anti-inflammatory benefits attributed to its unique chemical composition. Flax Seed Oil grown in New Zealand provides some of the highest levels of Omega 3, Alpha Linolenic Acid (typically 61%), essential for well-being. Research shows Flax Seed Oil is associated with many health benefits including:
  • Reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases2.
  • Increased bone density, improved brain function, and cell growth inhibition for certain cancer types2.
  • Reduced blood pressure and cholesterol levels3.
