Our
premium quality, unrefined flax seed oil is hexane-free. Hexane is a
chemical solvent used by many manufacturers to extract the oil from the
seed, and can be extremely allergic for dogs and cats. Solid Gold
Flax Seed Oil is expeller-pressed to maintain levels of free fatty acids
and protective antioxidant nutrients. The health benefits of
supplementation with flax seed oil for pets are numerous.
Flax seed
oil is rich in Omega-3 and -6 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) which are
protective against degenerative disease and illness, including bone and
joint problems, cancer, and cardiovascular, kidney and auto-immune
disease.
Flax seed
oil is excellent for improving skin conditions such as dandruff or
allergic irritation. It also improves the silkiness and sheen of the
coat and helps to heal dry, cracked paws.
Flax oil
can be used in conjunction with Solid Gold SeaMeal, for immune-related
problems. The essential fatty acids found in flax oil are components
of nerve cells and cell membranes.
Flax oil
is also one of the best known sources of lignans, which are thought to
have powerful anti-cancer, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties,
according to Dr Michael T Murray, ND, a leading research and author of the
book, The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine.
Our Solid
Gold Flax Seed Oil contains a natural, patented rosemary based antioxidant
formula to extend the shelf life of this product without the use of
artificial, chemical preservatives.
