Flax seeds have been consumed as food for around 6000 years and may have very well been the world’s first cultivated superfood. Flax seeds help improve digestion, improve skin health, lower cholesterol, reduce sugar cravings, balance hormones, fight cancer and promote weight loss. Flax seeds, sometimes called linseeds, are small, brown, tan or golden-coloured seeds that are the richest sources of a plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in the world. The flax seed nutrition profile makes it easy to see why it is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.

One of the most extraordinary benefits of flax seeds is that they contain high levels of mucilage gum content. Mucilage is a gel-forming fibre that is water soluble and has incredible benefits on the intestinal tract.
Antioxidant Rich
Flax Seeds are packed with antioxidants and the greatest source of lignans, which are unique fibre-related polyphenols that provide us with antioxidant benefits for anti-aging, hormone balance and cellular health.
Digestive Health
The ALA in Flax can help protect the lining of the digestive tract and maintain gastrointestinal health. It also helps reduce gut inflammation in chronic cases such as Crohn’s disease.
Lower Cholesterol
The soluble fibre content of Flax seeds trap fat and cholesterol in the digestive system so that it is unable to be absorbed. Soluble fibre also traps bile, which is made from cholesterol in the gallbladder.
