►Flax seeds are known for their many health benefits, which include providing a hearty dose of protein and fiber, reducing appetite and aiding in weight control. ►Given their stellar nutrient profile, it's no wonder that flaxseed oil is also jam-packed with similar health benefits. ►Much like flax seeds, flaxseed oil is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, one tablespoon (15 ml) contains an impressive 7,196 mg of omega-3 fatty acids. ►Specifically, flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a form of omega-3 fatty acid that is only converted in small amounts to active forms of omega-3, like EPA and DHA. ►Low ALA is connected to skin problems and because flaxseed oil is high in ALA, it may support skin health.
