For those who prefer the convenience of a softgel capsule to flax oil in liquid form, Enzymatic Therapy offers Doctor's Choice Flax Oil capsules. Whether you choose capsules or liquid, you receive the same powerful combination of flaxseed, pumpkin, and borage seed oils. This product combines flaxseed oil-an important source of omega-3 fatty acids-with pumpkin and borage seed oils. Pumpkin seed oil is valued for its plant sterols; borage seed oil is a source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). This formula is stabilized with rosemary antioxidant.
This product is the preferred source of essential fatty acids. The advantages of this formulation include:
- Alpha-linolenic acid, the omega-3 essential fatty acid often lacking in the American diet
- Lignan precursors and phytosterols, valued for their special nutritional benefits
- Convenient alternative to liquid oil
Recommendations: Seven softgels two times daily. Can be taken with meals.
