FAQ
- What Is ALA and Why Is It Important?
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid found in plant sources such as flaxseed. Because the body cannot produce ALA on its own, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. - How Does Flaxseed Oil Support Heart Health?
Flaxseed oil is naturally rich in ALA omega-3 fatty acids, which help support cardiovascular wellness. For this reason, flaxseed oil is a popular supplement for individuals looking to support heart health as part of a balanced lifestyle. - Is Flaxseed Oil a Good Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids?
Yes. Flaxseed oil is one of the richest plant-based sources of ALA omega-3 fatty acids. It provides a convenient way to increase omega-3 intake, especially for those who prefer plant-derived sources. - Why Choose Flaxseed Oil Instead of Fish Oil?
Flaxseed oil offers a plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, making it a popular alternative to fish oil. It is especially appealing to individuals following vegetarian or vegan lifestyles or those who prefer omega-3 supplements derived from plants. - Why Does Swanson High Lignan Flaxseed Oil Include Both Flaxseed Oil and a Lignan-Rich Fraction?
Swanson High Lignan Flaxseed Oil combines organic flaxseed oil with a lignan-rich fraction to provide two of flaxseed's most valued nutritional components. The flaxseed oil delivers naturally occurring omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, while the added lignans provide beneficial plant compounds found in flaxseed. Together, they offer a more complete flaxseed nutrition profile than flaxseed oil alone. - Is Swanson High Lignan Flaxseed Oil Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson High Lignan Flaxseed Oil is non-GMO, gluten free, and dairy free. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because the softgels contain gelatin.
