Flaxseed oil is rich in essential fatty acids, which the body needs to properly function, but cannot produce them on its own. One of the Essential fatty acids found in flaxseed oil is alpha-linolenic acid, which the body converts to omega-3 fatty acid, appears to reduce the risk of heart disease and other ailments. According to the Thomas Jefferson Agricultural Institute, a flaxseed is about 40% oil by weight, of this oil 55% of it is omega-3 fatty acid. One teaspoon of flaxseed oil contains 2.5 grams of omega-3, twice as much as people normally get from their diet. Flaxseed oil provides approximately 50% more omega-3 than you can get from fish oil, minus the awful after taste. Flaxseed oil also contains linoleic acid or omega-6 fatty acid, omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc.
Almost every system in your body can benefit from flaxseed oil’s properties they include: cardiovascular system, immune system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, as well as arthritis related joint pain.

Immune system: Flaxseed oil can protect against lowered immune system function. More studies need to be done, but alpha-linolenic acid may also treat autoimmune diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and may increase lung function in asthma sufferers, prevent breast cancer, combat allergies, aid with diabetes, prevent and treat depression and reduce menstrual pain.
Muscle Health: It also helps fatigued muscle recover faster after exertion, healing sprains and bruises; and increase energy in the body and stamina.
