NOW Foods Flax Oil 1000mg Vegan Formula 120 Veggie Softgels

NOW® Flax Oil 1,000 mg offers the benefits of organic flax oil in a convenient, taste-free softgel that seals in the delicate oil and protects it from oxidation. Flax oil is nature's richest plant source of the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). ALA is an essential fatty acid — the body cannot make it and must get it from the diet — and flax oil has been shown to support cardiovascular health and healthy skin.* This vegan formula uses a plant-based softgel with no animal gelatin. For people who want plant-based omega-3s without the taste or refrigeration of a liquid, these softgels are an easy daily option.*

Frequently asked questions

Is flax oil a good omega-3 source for vegetarians?
Yes — flax oil is the richest plant source of the omega-3 ALA and contains no fish, so it's a popular vegetarian and vegan omega-3.* Note the body converts only a portion of ALA into EPA and DHA, so some people use flax alongside (or those who eat fish, in addition to) a fish oil.*

Why does it need to be kept cool?
Flax oil is delicate and prone to oxidation. That's why this softgel is cold-pressed, protected with a natural antioxidant blend, and best kept refrigerated (for the liquid) or cool and sealed — to preserve its fresh, nutty character and nutrient profile.*

How do I use it?
The liquid can be taken by the tablespoon or added to smoothies, yogurt, salad dressings or drizzled on food (don't cook with it); the softgels are a convenient, taste-free alternative. Take with food, and for the liquid, consume within a few weeks of opening.*
