Flax seed oil is about 55% Omega-3 fatty acid and 20% Omega-6 fatty acid. Although there is no established recommended daily allowance, it has been proposed that the body needs 1-2% of its energy intake be of these two essential fatty acids.

Omega-3 is important in preventing heart disease because it thins the blood and lowers cholesterol. It also aids the production of prostaglandins which regulate many functions of every body cell including nutrient intake, division, pain sensations and blood clotting. Omega-6 fatty acid tones the arteries.

Flax seed oil is a source of calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorus and Vitamins A, B, D, and E.
