Lamberts Flaxseed Oil 1000mg 90 Capsules is a food supplement providing 1000mg of cold-pressed flaxseed oil per capsule, giving 680mg of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega 3 fatty acid. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, so it gives people who avoid fish oil a source of omega 3.
**Key Features**
- **680mg of ALA per capsule:** the flaxseed oil is 68% ALA by weight, alongside 122mg of linoleic acid (LA).
- **Suitable for vegetarians and vegans:** the capsule shell is made with modified starch and carrageenan rather than gelatin, and the product contains no fish.
- **Cold-pressed oil:** the flaxseed oil is cold-pressed without hexanes or solvents, and vitamin E is added to protect the ALA from oxidation.
- **Flexible intake:** 1 to 3 capsules daily, and 3 capsules provide 2040mg of ALA.
- **Suitable for all adults, including during pregnancy and breastfeeding:** the manufacturer states this directly.
