When we cold-press the Linseed Seed, we produce two products, both with their own individual nutritional benefits. Flax Seed Oil is an Essential Fatty Acid supplement high in Omega 3, and Flax Seed Flake is a protein and dietary fibre supplement, that also has a small amount of oil left within. With over 30% protein and around 40% dietary fibre, Flax Seed Flake is a wonderful supplement to aid muscular growth and development, and also to promote optimum digestive health. It also contains both Essential and Non-Essential Amino acids. Due to the natural, cold-pressing process, we are unable to press all of the oil from the seed. This means that around 8% of the oil remains in the flake, and therefore is also a source of Omega 3, 6 and 9 Essential Fatty Acids. The flake is also low in non-fibre carbohydrates and is gluten & GMO free. This can help to reduce 'tying up' issues, as well as reducing the risk of other disorders often attributed to diets high in sugar and starch. Furthermore, the flake is a great source of protein and fibre for laminitic horses. In addition to protein and dietary fibre, flake is also a fantastic source of phytoestrogens (lignans at 1.6%) and other vitamins and minerals including sodium, calcium and magnesium. Available in 10kg and 20kg sacks.
