Neither is a supplement that should be limited to a LC WOE - both are something that everyone can benefit from.
Flaxseed oil is a souce of Alpha Linolenic Acid (LNA), an essential Fatty Acid (meaning that this is something that our bodies cannot reproduce - what we get must come from our food). ALA is Omega 3 EFA.
LNA Deficiency - Growth retardation
- Weakness
- Impairment of vision and learning ability
- Motor incoordination
- Tingling sensations in arms and legs
- Behavioral changes
Symptoms that respond remarkably well to LNA supplementation - High triglycerides (fat) in the blood
- High blood pressure
- Sticky platelets
- Tissue inflammation
- Edema
- Dry skin
- Mental deterioration
- Low metabolic rate
- Some kinds of immune dysfunction
