Flax Seed, Whole, Organic (4 oz)

🌾 Flax Seed (Linum usitatissimum)

Plant-Based Omega-3 Superseed — Heart, Hormone & Digestive Support

Also known as Linseed, Flax Seed has been cultivated for thousands of years as both a nutrient-dense food and powerful herbal ally. Originating from the ancient Mediterranean and Egyptian regions, flax remains one of the richest plant sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) — a heart-supportive omega-3 fatty acid — along with fiber, lignans, and plant protein.

Traditionally used to support digestive regularity, heart health, and hormonal balance, flax seeds are a functional staple in holistic nutrition. Their high mucilage content gives them a soothing, bulking quality that promotes gut health and healthy elimination, while their lignans act as natural phytoestrogens, supporting women’s wellness and antioxidant protection.
