	DETAILED DESCRIPTION
	A fresh, unrefined certified organic cold pressed seed oil rich in omega 3 essential fatty acids. An excellent choice for those who already have quality omega 6 sources in their diet or those wanting to build their omega 3 levels before switching to a balanced blend such as Udos Choice. A delightful nutty taste makes it easy to mix into your food or smoothie Scientists have given essential fats their name because the body must have them to survive, but cannot synthesize them from any other substance we eat, so a direct food source is required. Hence the name essential. There are many kinds of fats but only two kinds of essential fats, Omega 3 and Omega 6, both of which are unsaturated fats. Each EFA is turned into several derivatives by the body, provided enough undamaged Omega 3 and Omega 6 are supplied in the right ratio. All other fats, such as Omega 9 (monounsaturated), Omega 7 and saturated fat are non-essential because the body can produce them from sugars and starches Flax oil is an excellent source of omega 3 EFAs but is a poor source of omega 6 EFAs. Although it is generally considered that the western diet contains enough omega 6, they generally come from poor, damaged sources. Todays main sources of omega 6 are cooking oils and margarines, which have been processed heavily with harsh chemicals to ensure a long shelf life. This has left us in the situation where although we do get some omega 6 intake, it is damaged to the extent where it is now harmful, rather than beneficial to health. Omega 6 deficiency causes: • Eczema-like skin eruptions • Hair loss • Behavioral changes • Kidney malfunction • Water loss through the skin with attendant to thirst • Glands dry up • Susceptibility to infections • Wounds fail to heal • Male sterility • Female miscarriage • Arthritis-like joint pain • Heart beat abnormalities • Growth retardation • Dry skin and hair • Dry eyes This means that flax oil is an excellent choice for those who already have quality omega 6 sources in their diet or for those wanting to build their o mega 3 levels before switching to a balanced blend such as Udos Choice Ultimate Oil Blend. A period of around 3 months will be sufficient for most people. Bodybuilders who are dieting for competition and trying to release as much stored fat as possible, will gain most benefit from flax alone for the final 3-4 weeks before competition. How to include Flax Oil in your diet • Pour over freshly made pasta or salad as a dressing mixed with lemon juice • Add a dessertspoon to breakfast oatmeal • Try on your baked potato instead of butter • Mix with a small amount of fruit juice and drink like a shot • Include in your protein shakes • Mix into rice
