.Waihi Bush Flax Seed Oil provides a tasty and nutritious vegetarian and vegan-friendly source of the Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids (EFAs).
We cannot make these essential fats in our bodies, so it's essential we obtain them through diet.
Waihi Bush Flax Seed Oil is 100% pure, cold pressed, unrefined, extra virgin, certified organic flax seed oil of the highest quality. It typically contains 60% Omega 3 - Alpha Linoleic Acid (ALA), 14% Omega 6 LA and 16% Omega 9 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) help support healthy skin and joints, immunity, hormonal balance, brain and cardiovascular function. EFAs are vital for health; however, they are unable to be made in the body, so it is important they are obtained from quality foods or supplements in times of extra need. EFAS are well-known to support health immunity, cardiovascular, brain, mood and joint health.
Healthy levels of EFAs in our body also positively affect cardiovascular health, brain function/ concentration and hormonal balance, along with the appearance and health of our skin, hair and nails.

Once opened, keep refrigerated. Not recommended for cooking - always use this organic oil raw for the health benefits.
Flax Original will remain fresh and tasty in the fridge for up to 12 weeks. You can place them into the freezer when purchased, as this suspends the shelf life which will kick back in once you take it out to use.
Flax Original can be used on cold, warm and hot foods just prior to serving, but should never be cooked or fried as this destroys their health-giving properties of this delicate oil.
