Efficacy and Nutritional components

Alpha-linolenic acid(ALA)is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, which is essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by human body, ALA must be obtained from diet. ALA as well as the fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), belongs to a group of fatty acids called omega-3 fatty acids, α-linolenic acid extracted from natural flax, which is plant-oriented polyunsaturated fatty acids (vegetable ω-3). As the high level requirement of α-linolenic acid extraction technology and manufacture processing, α-linolenic acid is called the “plant gold” for human brain health.

Alpha-linolenic acid has been shown to reduce inflammation and help prevent certain chronic diseases such as heart disease and arthritis. Polyunsaturated fatty acids α-linolenic acid series are listed in the European Pharmacopoeia. The health products’ label of “the use of ω-3 can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular” is confirmed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In 1993, the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) made a joined statement: Regarding the importance of α-linolenic acid and lack of α-linolenic acid in human body, WHO and FAO decided to promote the α-linolenic acid especially in the world.
