Our lean protein powders are excellent for promoting lean muscle gains but eating a very low-fat diet can actually lead to lowered testosterone levels because your body needs healthy fats in order to produce testosterone. That's why consuming "good" fats is essential for good health and optimum muscle gains. Just add a spoonful to our protein shakes or on your cereal etc!
Flaxseed and flaxseed oil are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)(ALA belongs to a group of substances called Omega-3 fatty acids), an essential fatty acid that is beneficial for heart health.
Flax seed taken in oil form however lacks the fibre and lignan components of ground flax seeds (lignans, which are antioxidants, are associated with lower serum cholesterol and may help reduce oxidative damage to cells and cellular molecules from free radicals), which is why we only stock the ground flaxseed.
Our flaxseed is from Linwoods and produced in Canada. Canadian flaxseed is renowned for being of the very highest quality worldwide!
Our Organic Flax Seed has been prepared using a gentle "Cold Milled" process to preserve to nutrients intact and to aid quick and easy absorption into the body (having the seeds ground allows easier absorption of the special nutrients within).
Flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble fibre. About one-third of the fiber in flax seed is soluble. soluble fiber can aid in lowering cholesterol and regulating blood sugar levels.
Ingredients: 100% Ground Organic Flaxseed.
