Flaxseed oil comes from the seeds of the flax plant, and is the richest source of plant based omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is one of two fatty acids that the body needs and cannot make for itself. It also contains omega 6 as a linoleic acid but in lower concentration than ALA. Our conventional diet is low in Omega-3 and high in omega-6 due to which many people now has omega 3 deficiency.

Omega 3 fatty acid is essential in various bodily processes, including fingthing inflammation, heart health, and brain function. Being deficient in omega-3 is associated with lower intelligence, depression, heart disease, arthritis, and many other health problems.
