Flaxseed Oil Discontinued

5th November 2012

Flaxseed is a good oil, and we have always stocked because it is used for certain healing protocols, and can be used as a salad dressing.  However, we have always recommended Hemp Seed Oil in preference because for human nutrition, Hemp Seed is actually far more balanced.

For vegetarians and vegans especially, Hemp Oil is especially recommended to ensure a good nutritional regime. It is natures most perfectly balanced plant oil because it has a very healthy 3:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3. 

Flaxseed in comparison is a little high in Omega 6.   If you are going to use a Flaseed Oil on a long term basis, please ensure adequate Omega 3.

We are therefore keeping just the one nutritional oil on our range in the form of Hemp Seed Oil.

Any questions on this, as ever, do let us know.
