Rich source of essential fatty acids! How Does NSI® Organic High Lignan Flax Oil Work? Flax oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are 'essential fatty acids' (EFA's)-meaning they're essential for human growth and development, but not naturally produced by the body. EFA's are important for the production of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like transmitters that help enhance inflammatory response, hormones, as well as the cardiovascular system. Flax oil is taken from the seeds of the flax plant. It contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is the precursor fatty acid for the omega-3 series. In order for the body to use ALA, it must be converted into EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), two nutrients that are constituents in many cells. NSI High Lignan Flax Oil is one-hundred percent organic and provides 20 percent lignans per each tablespoon serving. Lignans are a type of fiber, as well as a type of phytoestrogen, which are hormone-like molecules from plants that may have antioxidant properties and contribute to healthy bone growth and cardiovascular function. While NSI® High Lignan Flax oil is delicious drizzled on pasta, vegetables, potatoes, popcorn, rice and other grains, it's not recommended for high-temperature cooking. NSI® Organic High Lignan Flax Oil is better because it:. Is 100% certified organic-better for you and the environment! Is cold-pressed for maximum freshness! . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"While Looking for an inexpensive alternative to the oil supplements for our Labrador I came across NSI Organic High Lignan Flax Oil. Within 3 weeks our itchy dull coated lab has a soft shinny coat and we no longer have to endure the constant scratching due to dandruff. One squirt in the dog dish once a day and the itchies are gone. Our Vet even commented on the soft silky coat on Joy. Since the oil is refrigerated I have begun using it in baking and in salad dressing. Much to my surprise it adds a nice nutty flavor to my recipes. Unlike olive oil it does not congeal upon refrigeration.
This has been an unexpected, inexpensive find for the entire household."

"The NSI Organic Flax seed oil has a nice flavor and provides significant EFA supplementation. If you are on the "Fat Flush" Diet- this is the Flax oil to buy as it is the best price hands down. You should try to use it up as if it sits in the refridgerator for a few weeks it can coagulate on the bottom of the container. I stir it up from the bottom with a Kabob skewer and then shake it- that seems to make it last longer."

I am impressed!,
April 23, 2009
By ctmouse
"I always purchased the high price named brand and it was difficult for me to change until I started compairing the price and the ingredients. I saved $6.00 a bottle and had higher contents of the lignan flax oil, omega 3,9, & 6. The only thing I do not like is the way it comes out of the bottle. But for the difference I can live with it."

"Excellent quality. Amazing price. The only thing really lacking is the spout; this one pours too easily. Small compromise. For the people who commented about the lignans, it's completely normal for the lignans to collect at the bottom of the bottle. Just poke at 'em with a chopstick. They're especially wonderful in creamy salad dressings."

By scootersamfrom Minneapolis, MN
"I purchase this for myself to make wonderful and healthy salad dressing; just add herbs and vinegar. I also give a spoonful to my dog daily on her food. It makes her coat soft and shiney and is good for her joints (she chases a ball daily for extended periods of time). I would highly recommend this healthy, organic and versitile product to anyone."

"This is really good flax oil BUT you need to shake it A LOT (30 seconds) BEFORE you put it into the refrigerator. If the bottle is cold, it is very difficult to seperate the Lignon from the oil and when your done, you will be throwing out almost all the Lignon. So shake baby shake"

"This flax oil has a strong bitter taste which we have not found in other flax oil brands. It's fine for using in smoothies, etc., because you can't taste it. But for taking it by itself, it's a bit hard to swallow."
