Health Balance™ Flaxseed Oil 1300 mg is made with organic flaxseed oil to provide the highest quality omega-3, -6, and -9 fatty acids.  
Together, these omega fatty acids support heart health, immune and cognitive function, a normal inflammatory response, cellular metabolism, and hormone balance (1, 2, 3, 4). Each softgel contains 650 mg of naturally occurring omega-3 as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), 160 mg of omega-6 as linoleic acid (LA), and 160 mg of omega-9.

The human body cannot synthesize ALA, so a dietary or supplemental source is essential for good health. Population research has found that a high intake of ALA (1.1 g–3 g per day) over 6 years reduced the risk of a first-time heart attack by up to 59% in men(5). To ensure the highest purity, Health Balance™ Flaxseed Oil 1300 mg is derived from certified organic Canadian flaxseeds and is tested in accordance with stringent quality standards.
