Melrose Organic Flaxseed Oil is cold-pressed from organically grown flaxseeds. Flaxseed oil has one of the highest concentrations of plant-based essential fatty acid omega-3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and is an excellent vegan alternative to fish oil. ALA is converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in the body, which are essential fatty acids that help support brain and cognitive health. Melrose was the ?first in flax?, producing the first bottle of flaxseed oil for the Australian market over 30 years ago. It has a creamy, nutty and slightly bitter taste.
