Flaxseed and Linseed Oils

Flaxseed and linseed oils; what's the difference?

The short answer is that there isn't any. "Flaxseed oil" tends to be used for supplement or food quality oils and "linseed oil" for lower-quality oils used in various non-food applications, but there doesn't have to be a difference - and indeed the linseed oil from FSC (or anyone else featured on this site) is as good or better quality than any others called "flaxseed oil".

Key Features:
The essential omega-3 fatty acid in linseed is called 'ALA' (alpha-linolenic acid), Linseed oil also contains omega-6 fatty acids (as found in Evening Primrose Oil) and omega-9 fatty acids (as found in olive oil). ALA is used by the body to manufacture, inhibit or regulate substances called 'prostaglandins', short-lived hormone-like substances involved in regulating many body processes including the circulatory, nervous and immune system. The exclusive Omegaflo process ensures the integrity and nutritional value of the Linseed Oil and guarantees against rancidity. The dark shell protects against UV light damage.
