Flaxseed comes from the flax plant (also known as Linum usitatissimum), which grows to be about 2 feet tall. It likely was first grown in Egypt but has been cultivated all around the world. It is used as an ingredient in traditional medicines.
If you are a vegetarian or don’t eat fish, flaxseeds can be your best source of omega-3.
Our Ground Flaxseed Capsules are rich in proteins. So, when you consume flaxseed, the protein content suppresses your appetite. This prevents you from overeating, thereby helping you in losing weight. Flaxseeds are low in starch and sugar; hence they are not high in calories. They are also packed full of proteins.
The shells on the whole seed prevent proper digestion and reduce the health benefits purely as a result of your body’s inability to get to the goodness locked away inside – Milled flaxseeds fix this digestion problem nicely giving your body an EASY job of getting to all the nutrients.
