Mannavita Hungarian cold-pressed Flaxseed oil • 250 ml

The main positive physiological effect of flaxseed oil is due to its high content of omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid – ALA), which can help reduce various types of inflammation, prevent cardiovascular diseases, and maintain normal cholesterol levels. Omega-3 fatty acids support cell membrane flexibility, aid the nervous system’s function, and contribute to balanced brain function and mood. 

Flaxseed oil is one of the oldest health-preserving oils used by humans. The cultivation of flax and the use of its oil were already known in ancient Egypt - in fact, records indicate that even the pharaohs consumed it. Hippocrates also mentioned flax, primarily recommending it for the treatment of digestive problems. [01.]

Positive physiological effects of flaxseed oil and other interesting facts

The mechanism of action of flaxseed oil lies primarily in its ability to promote inflammation reduction. In the body, ALA is converted into long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which inhibit the overproduction of inflammation-promoting prostaglandins and cytokines. [02.]

Flaxseed oil supports metabolism, improves bowel function, and naturally helps balance hormone levels, especially in women. The lignans it contains act as phytoestrogens and may help ease menopausal symptoms.

The main active ingredients in flaxseed oil - omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, antioxidants, and vitamin E - together support heart health, improve insulin sensitivity, may lower blood pressure, and provide protection against cellular oxidative stress.

Interestingly, flaxseed oil has a mildly nutty, slightly spicy taste, which makes it popular in salads or smoothies. It is especially favored among those following vegetarian or vegan diets, as it is a natural plant-based source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Another notable fact: flaxseed oil oxidizes easily, so it should always be stored in the fridge, in a dark glass bottle, tightly sealed - which shows how living, sensitive, and valuable this substance truly is.

For those who haven’t yet tried flaxseed oil, it’s worth knowing that it supports not just physical but also mental clarity, improved concentration, and overall well-being. It easily fits into everyday nutrition - taken by the spoonful on an empty stomach, mixed into salads, or added to cold dishes.

Cold-pressed flaxseed oil can benefit not only humans: many also give it to dogs and horses, as it improves coat shine, may reduce joint issues, and supports general health.
