FAQ

What Is ALA and Why Is It Important?
ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid found in plant sources such as flaxseed. Because the body cannot produce ALA on its own, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation.
How Does Flaxseed Oil Support Heart Health?
Flaxseed oil is naturally rich in ALA omega-3 fatty acids, which help support cardiovascular wellness. For this reason, flaxseed oil is a popular supplement for individuals looking to support heart health as part of a balanced lifestyle.
Is Flaxseed Oil a Good Source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids?
Yes. Flaxseed oil is one of the richest plant-based sources of ALA omega-3 fatty acids. It provides a convenient way to increase omega-3 intake, especially for those who prefer plant-derived sources.
Why Choose Flaxseed Oil Instead of Fish Oil?
Flaxseed oil offers a plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids, making it a popular alternative to fish oil. It is especially appealing to individuals following vegetarian or vegan lifestyles or those who prefer omega-3 supplements derived from plants.
Why Does Swanson High Lignan Flaxseed Oil Include Both Flaxseed Oil and a Lignan-Rich Fraction?
Swanson High Lignan Flaxseed Oil combines organic flaxseed oil with a lignan-rich fraction to provide two of flaxseed's most valued nutritional components. The flaxseed oil delivers naturally occurring omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, while the added lignans provide beneficial plant compounds found in flaxseed. Together, they offer a more complete flaxseed nutrition profile than flaxseed oil alone.
Is Swanson High Lignan Flaxseed Oil Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson High Lignan Flaxseed Oil is non-GMO, gluten free, and dairy free. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because the softgels contain gelatin.
