Organic Flax Seeds

Continuing on from the last post here at Herbal Product Supplier which was all about Herbal Cold Sore Ointment, We'll now take a look at the benefits of taking flax seeds either in their natural state, which is obviously the best way and also in capsule form.

First the capsule form contains flax seed oil which is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Pound for pound flax seed oil contains more omega 3 than cod liver oil. They can be obtained in gel capsules of varying strengths, so look out forthe high strength variety for best results.

Of course, natural is always best and you can get ahold of flax seeds from a variety of suppliers. Opt for organically grown flax seeds and if you can source them from Canada so much the better as they contain much higher levels of all the good stuff! They also are free of pesticide residue and other nasties that intensively farmed flax seeds are prone to absorbing.

Why natural over capsule?

Well, in their natural state the body has to work a little harder to extract all teh nutrients, which it does well enough, but the seeds themselves contain useful fibre that is so helpful to the gut and to keep everything regular!

If you can't see organic flax seeds on eBay, I have a link to a site that sells top quality Canadian flax seeds by mail order and their prices are actually very reasonable. Here's the link: ORGANIC FLAX SEEDS

That's it for now - see you again soon for an update!
