Cold pressed flaxseed oil is obtained by pressing flaxseeds. Flaxseed is a traditional oil crop in China, and flaxseed oil has been recognized for its value. Oil flax has been cultivated in China for over 600 years and is currently mainly distributed in the north and northwest regions of China, with the highest production in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang provinces, followed by Jilin, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Qinghai. There is also sporadic cultivation in Tibet, Yunnan, and Guizhou in the southwest region. It is an important economic crop and a major oil crop in China. Flaxseed oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid, a good source for linolenic acid supplement.

Features

Flaxseed oil equipment produces oil by pressing the seeds of the flax plant. Flaxseed oil contains linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, but unlike most vegetable oils, flaxseed oil is dominated by another essential fatty acid—alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid.

Omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be supplemented through diet, hence they are known as "essential fatty acids." The vegetable oils we commonly consume, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, and sunflower oil, mainly contain omega-6 fatty acids and very little omega-3 fatty acids. This dietary pattern leads to a serious imbalance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the body. Scientific research has confirmed that omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids help eliminate factors that cause thrombosis and inflammation and repair damaged cell membranes; while omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids have a "double-edged sword" effect on the body: on one hand, they help protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health, but in excess, they can harm the body, inducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, arthritis, allergies, dermatitis, and immune system diseases.

Therefore, properly supplementing with flaxseed oil can help improve the imbalance of omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the existing diet, better maintaining the health of body tissues.
