Description
Flax is one of the best sources of alpha-linolenic acid, a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, in addition to containing linolenic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. Alpha-linolenic acid is metabolized by EPA and DHA by the enzymes elongase and desaturase. While these enzymes also compete to metabolize linolenic acid through elongation and desaturation reactions, an input ratio of linolenic acid to alpha-linolenic acid of less than 4:1 is favorable for the conversion of alpha-linolenic acid to long chain omega-3 fatty acids. Daily consumption of flaxseed oil-containing supplements for more than eight weeks significantly increased the stores of EPA and DPA, a precursor of DHA and a possible storage form of EPA, in erythrocyte membranes and plasma in adults. Fatty acids are also necessary for proper skin structure and function, including protection against environmental factors and loss of electrolytes and water. Decreased levels of these fatty acids have been associated with epithelial cell dysfunction, including loss of skin moisture. Alpha-linolenic acid further contributes to maintaining optimal health through its role in maintaining platelet and endothelial cell function. Alpha-linolenic acid is more bioavailable in flaxseed oil than in ground or whole flaxseed.
Dosage
Adults: Take one capsule twice daily with meals or as directed by your practitioner.
