Product Introduction
Flaxseed Oil – Premium Plant-Based Omega-3 with High ALA Concentration
Flaxseed oil (OMEGA-3), derived from the seeds of the Linum usitatissimum plant, is one of the richest plant-based sources of Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), an essential omega-3 fatty acid crucial for human health. We specialize in producing high-potency Flaxseed Oil with precisely calibrated ALA concentrations. Our product range includes 50% ALA, 55% ALA, 60% ALA, and 65% ALA variants, each available in both Refined and Certified Organic options to meet diverse formulation requirements and market preferences.
Product Overview
Our Flaxseed Oil represents the cutting edge of oil processing technology, combining traditional knowledge with modern refinement techniques. Through specialized breeding of flaxseed varieties and optimized extraction methods, we achieve exceptional ALA concentrations while maintaining the oil's nutritional integrity. The availability of both refined and organic options provides formulators with unparalleled flexibility—whether creating clean-label organic products or developing stable formulations requiring neutral flavor and extended shelf life. Each variant is processed under controlled conditions to prevent oxidation and preserve the delicate omega-3 content.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is ALA, and why is it important?
A: ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) is an essential omega-3 fatty acid that the body cannot produce independently. It serves as a precursor to EPA and DHA and supports cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and inflammatory response regulation.
Q2: How do I choose between different ALA concentrations?
A: Higher concentrations (60%-65%) are ideal for high-potency supplements where dosage efficiency is crucial. Mid-range concentrations (50%-55%) offer excellent value for general fortification and broader applications where extreme potency isn't required.
Q3: What's the difference between refined and organic Flaxseed Oil?
A: Refined Flaxseed Oil undergoes physical purification to achieve neutral flavor, lighter color, and improved stability. Organic Flaxseed Oil is sourced from certified organic flaxseeds and processed according to organic standards, maintaining more natural characteristics while ensuring pesticide-free purity.
Q4: Why does shelf life decrease with higher ALA concentrations?
A: Higher ALA content means more polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are more susceptible to oxidation. Therefore, our highest potency variants require more careful storage and have slightly shorter shelf lives.
Q5: Is your Flaxseed Oil suitable for vegetarian and vegan products?
A: Absolutely. Our Flaxseed Oil is 100% plant-based, making it an excellent omega-3 source for vegetarian and vegan formulations, providing a sustainable alternative to fish oils.
Q6: What special storage conditions do you recommend?
A: Due to the high unsaturated fat content, we recommend refrigeration (4-8°C), protection from light, and oxygen-free storage (nitrogen flushing) to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation throughout the shelf life.
Q7: Can I use your Flaxseed Oil for high-temperature cooking?
A: No. Flaxseed Oil has a low smoke point and is not suitable for high-temperature applications. It's best used in cold applications, smoothies, dressings, or encapsulated supplements.
Q8: Do you provide technical support for product formulation?
A: Yes, our technical team offers comprehensive support for ingredient incorporation, dosage recommendations, and stability testing to ensure optimal performance in your final products.
Q9: How does your high-ALA Flaxseed Oil compare to regular Flaxseed Oil?
A: Regular Flaxseed Oil typically contains 45-55% ALA. Our specialized breeding and processing enable us to guarantee specific, higher concentrations (up to 65%), providing formulators with guaranteed potency and consistent performance.
Q10: Are your organic certifications recognized globally?
A: Yes, our organic Flaxseed Oil carries both USDA and EU organic certifications, ensuring acceptance in major markets worldwide. Additional regional certifications can be arranged upon request.
