Flax Seed Oil is a blue flowering plant that is grown on the Western Canadian Prairies for its oil rich seeds. Flaxseed oil is rich in EFA’s, essential fatty acid, but more specifically it contains the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that are required for the health of almost all body systems. Your body needs these fats to function properly, yet it doesn't produce it on its own. This makes EFA's an important part of your diet.
