NOW Foods Certified Organic, Flax Seed Oil

NOW® Flax Oil from Organic Flax Seeds – Cold-Pressed & Unrefined

NOW® Flax Oil is derived from organic flax seeds that undergo a cold-press extraction method, which effectively preserves its natural nutrient profile. This high-quality, non-GMO oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, primarily alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), making it an excellent supplement for promoting heart health and overall wellness.

Why Choose NOW® Flax Oil?

Cold-Pressed & Unrefined
We carefully extract the oil using a cold expeller pressing process, which ensures it retains all its essential nutrients. As a result, the oil maintains its characteristic nutty taste and medium-yellow color. Unlike many processed oils, NOW® Flax Oil remains unrefined and free from additives. Consequently, it provides you with a pure, nutrient-rich source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Flax oil is a superb source of omega-3s, particularly ALA, which plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health and brain function. NOW® Flax Oil contains between 55-65% ALA, delivering the ideal amount of essential fatty acids necessary for supporting your well-being. Therefore, it helps promote a healthy heart and improved cognitive function.

Natural Color Variation
Due to the organic nature of the product and the natural extraction process, slight color variation may occur. However, rest assured that this does not affect the quality or effectiveness of the oil. As a result, you can enjoy the full health benefits with each bottle.

How NOW® Flax Oil is Processed

First, we thoroughly screen the flax seeds to remove any weeds or foreign matter. Afterward, we cold-press the seeds to extract the oil, followed by filtration to ensure its purity. To preserve its nutrients and prevent rancidity, we add a small amount of antioxidant blend. Thanks to this careful processing, NOW® Flax Oil guarantees a high-quality product that retains its full range of benefits.
