Flaxseed Oil Formula Liquid

The Flaxseed Oil Formula was designed by Dr. Peter D’Adamo to provide 1,000 mg of a Geno-specific, synergistic balance of Omega-3, Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids, as well as hormone-balancing and detoxification-supporting Flaxseed Lignans. Flaxseed Oil is particularly indicated for women looking to support healthy balance of estrogens and anyone who desires improvement in the look, feel, and health of their body’s largest organ— the skin.

Flaxseed Oil.  Flaxseed Oil is expressed from the oil-rich seeds of the blue-flowering, common flax plant, Linum usitatissimum, that is cultivated primarily on the prairies of western Canada. Also known as “linseed oil,” this oil is nature’s richest vegetable source of the essential omega-3 fatty acids that are required for the health of all the body’s systems. (1) Because of the relative paucity of sources of omega-3 fatty acids in the modern diet as a result of the grain-feeding and factory farming of animals for food, Flaxseed Oil is highly recommended as a supplemental source of many of the fats needed for general well-being and optimum health.

In addition to providing approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than you could get from taking any other vegetable-based oil, Flaxseed Oil contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc. (2) The health of every organ system in the body, but especially the cardiovascular and circulatory, immune, reproductive, and nervous systems, as well as the joints, can benefit from regular supplementation with Flaxseed Oil’s many enriching constituents.

The omega-3 fatty acids found in Flaxseed Oil have been shown to reduce systemic reactivity and can therefore be a crucial dietary component in the prevention of those chronic diseases that are characterized by rampant inflammation, such as heart disease and arthritis. Omega-3 fats appear to be essential for healthy growth and development, as well as particularly important during the maturation of cognitive and behavioral functions. Lignans, highly beneficial polyphenolic phytoestrogens found in many foods, are found in particularly high concentrations in our Flaxseed Oil. These Lignans appear to modulate excess growth factor levels in healthy aging, which is associated with increased longevity, and encourage programmed cell death (apoptosis) in cells with damaged DNA or aberrant cellular metabolism.

Regular supplementation with Flaxseed Oil can help increase the body’s production of energy and improve stamina. (4) Flaxseed Oil has been shown to ease weight loss in people afflicted with central obesity. (5) It appears to act by stimulating brown fat cells and increasing metabolic rate, making it easier for people to burn off unwanted fat. (6) Dietary supplementation with Flaxseed Oil also significantly increases calcium absorption, bone calcium, and bone density and may thereby slow the rate of postmenopausal bone loss. (7) Flaxseed Lignans can protect the function of the liver via  effects on the activity of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), a key liver enzyme in drug and xenobiotic detoxification that induces an increase in reduced glutathione levels. (8)

Combining Flaxseed Oil with lower doses of chemotherapy can relieve many of chemo’s side effects while providing an equally effective means to stop the development of cancer. (9) An increased ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids, such as is found in Flaxseed Oil, may help reduce the prevalence of some allergies. (10) Flaxseed Oil helps prevent atherosclerosis, which is the accumulation of fatty plaques in the lining of blood vessels that can lead to increased cardiovascular disease risk. (11) Regular Flaxseed Oil consumption also helps fight cardiovascular disease by lowering high blood pressure in individuals suffering from hypertension. (12) It has been shown in multiple studies to aid in the treatment of some cases of depression. (13) Additional reports indicate that Flaxseed Oil may be of use in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. (14) It has also been shown to relieve some of the symptoms associated with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) in females. (15)
