Omega-3 ALA acids are essential diet components that cannot be produced by the human body. Linseed is their basic source.
Omega-3 acids have anti-inflammatory properties, they prevent atherosclerosis of the blood vessels and influence the proper development of the central nervous system and vision. Thanks to these qualities, they have found a well-established use in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndromes and chronic inflammatory diseases. Their supplementation during pregnancy, lactation as well as in developmental age is also of key importance.
