There is linseed oil on the market that is cold pressed and does not undergo a refinement process. Linseed oil is considered by many to be a functional food, because in addition to having high caloric value increasing energy production, it is also very rich in vitamins, and because it has a high amount of vitamin E Linseed oil is the main source of acid alpha-linolenic acid (fat belonging to the omega-3 fatty acid family), lignan, linoleic acid and vitamin. Due to the fact that it is extracted from its seeds by cold compression, its functional activity is preserved, but it does not offer the same benefit as the seed because we separate the oil from the other components of this seed, we lose the synergy of its integral composition. Isolated oil, a strong anti-inflammatory, is only indicated for cases under medical guidance,
The isolated oil is also very suitable for external treatments such as skin, joints and scalp.
