Wild salmon, mackerel and other coldwater fish have abundant Omega-3 fatty acids, and in fact the American Heart Association recommends eating salmon and other Omega-3 rich foods twice a week for health benefits.

How does Liquid Life figure in all this ? Let’s have a closer look at the Liquid Life label which shows the “Supplement Facts”. This shot shows the bottom of the label, and let’s pay close attention to the part which says “Essential Fatty Acids Omega 3, 6, 9 (Flax Seed Oil Powder) (providing : Alpha-Linolenic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Oleic Acid).

What is Alpha-Linolenic Acid? Well, the University of Maryland Medical Centre website has a detailed explanation about what it is, where it is found and how it benefits humans in the prevention of heart disease and high blood pressure, and a host of other afflictions.

You can read more about ALA here.

Alpha-linolenic acid is highly concentrated in flaxseed oil.

On the other hand if you’d prefer to just watch a video on the subject of Flaxseed being a “superfood”, see the video below from the YouTube channel “Nutrition by Natalie”.
